Dozens of garbage trucks around Times Square this New Years Eve wont be collecting leftover confetti.

Sixty-five strategically placed sanitation vehicles will instead augment the law enforcement presence in the Crossroads of the World this weekend, officials announced at a Thursday news conference.

The sand-filled 16-ton trucks will serve as bomb barriers to prevent access to the streets around the massive Midtown celebration and its anticipated 2 million revelers.

Everybody knows that the eyes of the world are upon Times Square, said Police Commissioner James ONeill, who will mark his first New Years Eve as the citys top cop.

Probably a wise move but it says much about the world we live in now. Berlin and Nice events are figuring in this no doubt.

Garbage trucks will not stop suicide bombers or other muzzies with evil intentions.

Only deportation of ALL muzzies will make us safe.

Wife is from New York. Born there and left to marry me when she was 26. She never went to Times Square for New Years Celebration. Too many people and doesn’t like crowds. God how I Love that Woman!!!!!

I'm not going to do anything so lame as to recommend every garbage truck have plenty of rotting pork products inside, but ... DO IT!

When they’re done on New Years, send them over to the White House, to move the trash out.

wont stop it. better not leave the keys in the trucks.

How about T-62s, T-64s, T-72s, or T-80s? But, garbage trucks can haul away the ‘trash’.



To: xp38

Because they don’t drive trucks...

I like that idea, garbage trucks in to keep the garbage out......... It's not about terrorists, it's the garbage leftists and their planned protests, aka, riots.........

A garbage truck would seemingly be able to hold a massive amount of explosives, IMHO.

I have always admired how the New York Police Department has kept the city safe for these big events. They really are top notch professionals and deserve a lot of credit.

Trash trucks? What would Hillary have used? Hillary probably would have commandeered every fire truck in the city. After all she is the most important.

How about we “strategically” not allow people into the country in the first place from areas where terrorism is prevalent



To: xp38

Reminds me of the movie, 1941. What could possibly go wrong?



To: xp38

Don’t care ,I never watch that crap anyway

I’m glad they gave the baddies a heads up on the plans. Plenty of time to alter the attack.
