MASA: From New York to Utah, America is living in fear these days - thanks to T-rump

Last night, loud motorcycles backfiring in Manhattan's Times Square emptied out crowded theaters, stores and restaurants as people started fleeing for their lives mistaking the noise as gunfire...because thanks to T-rump, this is the new America we live in today. Others were running from the streets and sidewalks, heading into buildings in fear of their lives, thinking a mass shooter was on the streets in Times Square.

One actor from the cast of "To Kill A Mockingbird" said the noise was so loud outside, the audience and cast dropped everything and fled the theater, mistaking the noise as a mass shooter outside the theater. Up to 20 people were injured in the melee, most were treated at the hospitals and released late last night for minor injuries.

In Utah, a crowded summer concert theater emptied out as people fled the Valley Fair Mall in West Valley City, a suburb of Salt Lake City, in fear of their lives. What startled them was a loud bang when a sign fell within the mall, and customers and concert attendees mistook it for gunfire in the mall. No injuries were reported, but some fights broke out as police evacuated the mall.

Thank you T-rump, for "Making America Scared Again".

You act like Trump invented mass shootings. Get a grip.

He encourages hate, intolerance, and violence. And now America lives in fear, thanks to him.

Here are some reactions from Broadway theatergoers in Times Square last night, from Facebook and other social media sites:

"I was there tonight. It was horrible, scary, chaotic and just so heart breaking when I was outside and walking home. Everyone is so on edge because of the madness going on all over the country. I have to say, the backfire must have been RIGHT next to theater because it was incredibly loud. I did not hear anyone yell "gun", I just started to hear loud talking, then screaming, then just mass panic. No one was hurt but the terror on people's faces? I will never forget it. We all have to go on living our lives, but a mass shooting in a theater is something I think of now, each and every time I go. "

"We were sitting house right, all the way on the side and all of a sudden there was loud talking outside and it sounded like people were banging on the doors trying to get into the theatre. Then someone ran down the aisle yelling "shooting" (someone told me that - I didn't hear it as we were trying to get out). Nothing seemed to be happening outside, so we wandered back in, then there was an announcement of a motorcycle backfire and the show would not continue."

"“I was at the to kill a mockingbird performance tonight in one of the box seats with my sister. It was the final scene and all of a sudden the back of the orchestra area began to run and scream in a panic; I too ran. It was all so chaotic but by the time I hopped out of my chair and went down the small staircase, crowds of people ran up causing me to go back to the box area. I crouched down and stayed low. I didn’t pay attention to the actors on stage durning this but I’m sure they ran off to a safe place for the time being. This was all within the first 15-20 seconds of when the people towards the back orchestra panicked. The speaker announced and told us to be calm and that there isn’t any danger.People were still in a big panic because we had no idea..."

THANKS T-RUMP !

No he doesn't and people have been living in fear, in bastions of democrat run utopias like Chicago, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Detroit, etc., etc. for decades.

Thank you Democrats, for KEEPING America scared.

When was the last time under any president a mall emptied out because a sign fell and made a loud noise?

When was the last time under any president Broadway theaters stopped their shows and attendees went running (along with cast members) in fear of their lives all because a motorcycle backfired outside on the street? Same with Stores and Restaurants in Times Square?

I'll wait for your answer....

[–] chilone (17252) 5 years ago

Like I said....

[–] chilone (17252) 5 years ago

Your misplaced, fabricated blaming of T-rump is pathetic, btw.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Yeah - it's all Hillary's fault, right?

[–] chilone (17252) 5 years ago

You're the one projecting. Not me.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Gotta be Hillary's fault. Why else did she get rid of all those emails? You know they were only to rally those white supremacists and nationalists. Why else?

And Obama! There's a reason he's hiding his real birth certificate. Probably cause he's a white supremacist !

[–] chilone (17252) 5 years ago

What the hell are you even talking about?

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Just helping you with your alt-right talking points.

[–] chilone (17252) 5 years ago

You're out there.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Indeed - that' where the T-rumpanzees and alt-right republicans are, so you got to meet them where they're at these days.

[–] chilone (17252) 5 years ago

You might want to put the bong down. You're incoherent.

The "Trump, and everyone who supports him, is a white supremacist ready to kill" rants by dems and the media is what's pushing people over the edge. I've heard complaints of not being able to sleep, being nauseated, crying all the time, living in fear, etc. since election night 2016. If they would just turn off the news for a month, they wouldn't constantly be in panic mode. It's not necessary to know every horrible thing that happens in the world, except for extreme weather warnings and such.
I remember when the left was saying every policy Trump proposed would cause everyone to die. Of course if you fall for that nonsense, you're going to be paranoid.
Wasn't the El Paso shooter an eco-fascist wanting to lower the population to save the world? Sounds like another crazy who fell for all the leftist fearmongering.

1. Actually, it's T-rump and his fear-mongering rhetoric which is pushing people over the edge. Just listen to his inaugural speech he gave within minutes of being sworn in - and how he described America to his supporters. He's impressionable to the majority simple-minded followers of his, and they act upon 'the fear of everyone who isn't white' that he preaches. An analysis of the dark rehtoric speech he gave to scare his followers:

2. 'Turning off the news for a month' and living in ignorance of what is happening in the country each day is not going to make the problems go away. T-rump is at fault, and only he can take care of it - by not spreading hate and fear at his rallies, pressers, and other gatherings.

3. The El-Paso shooter seems to be a T-rump follower who was trying to get rid of immigrants in his hometown, because he feared them - just like T-rump told him to fear them. They're 'rapists and drug dealers' according to T-rump, so the shooter killed more than 20 people hoping to get rid of immigrants - according to his manifesto he posted.

4. I do not recall 'when the left was saying every policy T-rump opposed would cause everyone to die'. It's sounds like another outrageous conspiracy theory, but I won't doubt you - not if you share a link to your credible sources where you can prove the left was saying this. (I do recall when Sarah Palin got the alt-right fired up by saying that Obamacare was going to be filled with 'death panels' and everyone was going to die if the ACA passed - talk about stirring up paranoia among the simple minded!).
