The story smells absurd.

Examples:

* The difficulty of knifing the driver of a moving cab through the partition opening — if it had one. (No media reports show a picture of the cab. Some don’t have a decent sized partition opening.)

* To fight off his attacker the driver would have to turn around, leaving the cab moving uncontrolled in New York rush hour traffic, which is a madhouse.

* In the picture taken in court the next day, the kid has no blood on his shirt despite supposedly knifing Sharif’s neck and struggling with him.

* The driver says he defeated the attack. But how? If he got the knife away from Enright, where’s the knife? if he didn’t, why isn’t he dead?

* The driver claimed the kid threw himself out the window of the fast moving cab when the driver was rushing to the police station, having locked the doors. Meaning the cab had electrical door/window controls, operable from the front. So why didn’t he lock the windows?

* If the kid jumped from a fast moving cab why are his face and shirt unscathed in the court picture?

* In a clearer picture of Sharif, taken during his public appearance with Bloomberg, there is no evidence of any wound to the face, and not even a bandage on his neck. So he healed from this attempted murder in less than 48 hours. Now if only we can find a way to rapidly heal media/Bloomberg demagoguery and provocations.

Jared Israel Emperor’s Clothes

Pretty soon I’m going to need a bumper sticker that says “Even though I have a black hat and a beard, I’m not a racist” You guys make me sick

Bloomie will blame this on Israel and the Tea Party (he initially blamed the Times SQ csr bomber on “people upset with the health care bill”.)

BTW, the guy who did this has been a volunteer for quite a while at a left-wing group that SUPPORTs the jihadi victory mosque at GZ, so this might be some kind of screwed-up set-up.
