It really saddens me to see some of the comments on their Facebook page. Comments like he shouldn't receive treatment or the doctors should refuse to do it. He has a right to medical treatment and the doctors have an obligation to treat him. Its called the Hippocratic oath.


There is another, better reason for giving him medical treatment.

So that he can then get into the justice system and be tried as a criminal. And for the investigation to interrogate him. Maybe there is more behind it.

Better to treat him so he rots in prison before he does anything more stupid.
As some one who currently resides in Israel, it's safe to say the attack might have been caused by the whole "Moving the embassy to Jerusalem" thing, which is really fucking sad considering the US has a consulate in Jerusalem already...
Aside from that point, well done NYPD, good thing no one was hurt, and this proves that terrorists are fucking idiots.

There is another, better reason for giving him medical treatment.

So that he can then get into the justice system and be tried as a criminal. And for the investigation to interrogate him. Maybe there is more behind it.


It will be just considered "an act of vandalism".
After all, if smashing up a Jewish restaurant while waving a Palestinian flag is not considered a hatecrime,why would this be terrorism ;) ?

This.

Plus, we don't really want the police to decide who gets treated and who doesn't, do we?

They are, but I understand his sentiment. There are certainly very vocal people saying that this shouldn't be considered terrorism because nobody died, and while I think it certainly should be considered an act of terror, I'm sure there is going to be a lot of people on here who would say otherwise. Also, the "shocking" revelation over that Keaton kid's mom having confederate flag pictures on her instagram is somehow trending higher than this bombing.
