next time someone farts in new york they are going to close down times square for fear of an al-qaeda chemical attack.
You idiots claim how ridiculous it is and how "tired you are getting" of this happening, but you are the same morons who will claim how irresponsible the government is when it actually is a bomb that goes off and they DIDNT evacuate Times Square.
" WOW MATT....what an ignorant individual! I wish they'd find you and place it in the middle of your living room then. That should be the epicenter of the next attack!"
But then New York would be all sad because no one was paying attention to them.
I wonder if it was a pepperoni pizza? I'm hungry
shortest article ever
Is an evacuation needed? Yes
Is this worthy of front page news on CNN.com? No
Did this one have "ACME" written on the side?
Haha. That's a good one
i wonder if this is part of a more elaborate plot? i mean maybe the plan is to keep dropping off random things and have us panic over and over again, so that we stop taking it seriously, then when our guard is down the real one goes off.
To stop all this nonsense and regain our personal liberty, the US must stop intruding on others and extricate ourselves from the middle east, especially our costly, one-sided ties with Israel.
Expect paranoia to cause many more calls in the coming weeks. We have turned into a nation of fraidy cats. NY'ers love a good show anyway.

We have the choice to live in fear or not. Seems like we are choosing to live in fear. Why are we making it so easy to cause panic by leaving garbage around? Will we evacuate the cities when the "terrorists" have a nefarious plot to leave coolers of water at every street corner every day? The way we are going, that is doing more damage to our way of life than any bomb.
it was the tissue box from Minute to win to win it. Damn guy again
Matt and the likes, I live in NYC and am glad cops paid attention! What we should do is ticket those pigs throwing garbage were they stand. Might make the city a bit cleaner and nicer as well as safer.
@ML: And maybe in the process New Yorkers could once again grow some balls.
