The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Reported by Fox News so most of you won't see this.

foxnews.com - Nypd chief blasts release migrants accused attacking officers should be sitting at rikers

NYPD chief blasts migrants' attack on officers as mugshots of suspects released

Hmmm. The headline uses the word "migrants".... but in the video the police chief uses the word "people"?

So I checked another site, CBS News, OK with you Lapsody?

Reported by CBS so some of you might see have seen it.

cbsnews.com - Nypd officers attacked times square arrests

NYPD officers attacked in Times Square; 5 suspects arrested, 7 still on the loose

In the CBS Video, the talking head not only does not call them migrants, but shows a graphic giving their names and what states they were from.

More mmmm. Still searching for the truth of the migrant angle, I did what 1pg suggested and accessed a local news station to see what they were reporting. Here is ABC Channel 6 Action News.

6abc.com - Nypd cops attacked in times square attack police

5 arrested after group attacks officers trying to make an arrest in Times Square

This article says the attackers were first reported as migrants (Fox).

Later in the article they list the attacker names and states they came from (CBS).

They were the only one I looked at who reported both dimensions.

See what you guys have done to me. I don't know what is real anymore. What I need is a good fact checker so I don't have sort such things out on my own.

BTW, regardless of the immigrant status of the attackers, an entirely separate injustice occurred. As reported by 6ABC Action News,

NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell blasted the attack of two police officers as "reprehensible" and called their attackers "cowards."

The Police Benevolent Association said it was outraged the suspects were released without bail.
