9/11 20th Anniversary: Firefighters, Police BANNED from ceremony

I win.

Oh that's bad optics.

Yup, you do win, AOC r1.

How very fucking amazingly pathetic.

New York really is, finally, over.

No soul left.

How can the families go along with this?

How?

It's family members only and has been that way since the very beginning, it says so right there in the article. If a family member is a first responder, they're allowed in. Apparently some people also let the first responders in even without an invite or pass.

[quote]Jim Riches, a retired firefighter whose firefighter son, Jimmy, was killed in the attacks, has attended every 9/11 ceremony and said many first-responders were admitted without passes.

Then why have first responders ALWAYS been there, r5.

I was born in NYC, returned in 2000, and was there from 9/11 until 3 years ago.

The first responders were ALWAYS there.

The whole grief porn ceremony should be cancelled.

You can't tear down NYC without stripping it of its history first.

R6 The article states that the ceremony will be limited to family only and no additional passes given out due to the pandemic. This isn’t about “banning” first responders.

It was all white people anyway. This is only justice.

We should do a full reenactment, with the white people inside and everything!

Haven't thought about 9/11 for years and am perfectly willing to let it be a family only thing.

After this year, it enters the realm of history.

9/11 has evolved into being just a yearly chance for some people who happened to be related to victims to glory in their claim to fame while wallowing in grief porn.

Yes, Bill Wilhelm, r12, we know.

And yes, Mrs. Wilhelm, r13, we know you would obviously like to see all that 'wasted money' go to your charity, dear, wouldn't you?

THRIVE, Chirlane!

THRIVE!

Would I be horrible if I thought that twenty years of public wailing and moaning was more than enough? Because I'm tempted to think that.

You're so right, r17. We should all just shut up about it.

Given what great friends to the gays that the 9/11 jihadis were, it's only right, yes?

After all, it's not as if it unleashed an unending wave of jihadist violence, is it?

Will there be Cinnamon Rolls?

r16, 1.6 BILLION?

I've got to figure out a way to get in on this grift.

Yes, dear, r19 in honor of the Cinnamon rolls eaten by the first responders that morning while they were all standing around seeing to fires, heart attacks and shootings.

r19, Just for You

Oh LOOK!

Here's our r19!

Well well well,

You ARE a Super-frau, aren't you, r19?

I hope Big Bird and his disgusting wife DIAGF.

r21 there is more to it than r22.

The Cinnamon rolls was extremely lame shtick from back in 2001. The last communication heard from the passengers on the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania was "Let's roll" as they attacked the hijackers. They died preventing another attack.

For some time afterward halfwits here thought they were being extraordinarily clever turning that into "Cinnamon rolls ".

Sadder still, r24.

Although thank you for explaining. I've been here since 1998 originally but I wasn't on here during 9/11.

Although I can only imagine what the threads her were like on 9/11, I know they'd have been lit

America is pathetic.

This is totally related to the pandemic and Ive also read that COVID took the lives of many of the remaining first responders who had health conditions.

Thank God for this pandemic, we'll be the only ones involved ! 9/11 is about us and ONLY US !

Ceremony should be centered around trans sex worker of color.

You know, Chelsea was jogging near the Twin Towers when the planes hit. She ran in and rescued six people then went to a nearby school and calmed the children’s fears until their parents could pick them up.

Besides the Chelsea fabrication there was the other incident. This ceremony was always bad luck for Hillary.

Destroy this and other lying MAGA threads.

The first responders can stay home and watch the Taliban march into Kabul, live on television.

R32, like how your ass has been destroyed by the cocks of homeless men?

You do know this was payback for American terrorism overseas, right?

9/11 happened because the Biden Administration allowed millions of Mexicans into the country!

Did someone deliberately give this hero the wrong location for the ceremony again? Here is last year's ceremony; it doesn't look like the 9/11 grounds. How can they do this to our man?

They were here first. The yt race stole this land from people of color so they deserve so-called terrorism.

" People of color" = black, R38. Get it straight.

The sky was so blue that day.....

Grief porn sucks.

Race is binary, R39. If you're not Black, then you're white, which makes you a racist. That's right, Asians and Latinos are white and therefore racist.

Hey all you 9/11 critics....Did someone you loved who was a good, decent ,kind human being who showed up to work for at a job he hated just to support his fam. get vaporized..yeah vaporized just cause he showed up for work..

Fuck you all..

Why don't you catch a flight to Kabul..your mates are waiting there for you. One piece of advice, you might want to be sure you don't have you freak flag waving as you get off the flight.

I'm just disappointed Seth MacFarlane missed his flight and David Angell didn't.

The rightwingers are on the Daily Mail articles like flies on dog shit.

Hey asshole at R42 even those of us who lost someone that day are sick of the greif porn.

Yes, commemorating the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil ever should not be about inclusion and unity. People are fucking gross.

[quote] Apparently some people also let the first responders in even without an invite or pass.

Gasp!

All that grief porn was to cover up for the US's culpability in domestic and overseas terrorism.

[quote] You do know this was payback for American terrorism overseas, right?

You do know you're a moron, right?

Your verbal terrorism is as typical of your race as the real-world terrorism it has enabled, R49.

[quote]Hey all you 9/11 critics....Did someone you loved who was a good, decent ,kind human being who showed up to work for at a job he hated just to support his fam. get vaporized..yeah vaporized just cause he showed up for work..

What the fuck are you going on about? "9/11 critics" would be who precisely? People against the Iraq/Afghanistan invasions? Or people having the nerve to criticize the way idiots like you use 9/11 as a verbal cudgel to beat critics?

[quote]Fuck you all..

Back at ya, bitch.

Your ad hominem attacks do not change the fact that 9/11 was what the US fucking deserved for centuries of terrorism going all the way back to that dago cracker Columbus stealing land from the indigenous peoples.

The very creation of the US was a terrorist act against the British Empire.

The British Empire's presence there was terrorism against its indigenous peoples. The so-called ameriKKKan "revolution" was nothing more than yt-on-yt terrorism.

45..Yeah, I'soo sure you lost someone.

This isn't grief porn, its respect. In some faiths its Called..'Memory Eternal'. We let them go with love, despite the deep wrenching sadness, & loss.. They are gone, but not forgotten. We have a specific day to remember & to pray for them. Know why? Because love never dies.

[quote] You do know this was payback for American terrorism overseas, right?

By al Qaeda, those noted anti-colonial liberation fighters?

R53: Chrys Tran, adjusting her testicles in her sequined gown

Wow, this thread really brought out all the America-hating far-Left lunatics. Yikes. Like cockroaches in the night.

It's probably just one or two posting the same lame radical nonsense. These types always try to inflate their numbers like it's some kind of groundswell support of internal America-hating. Their numbers are actually quite low -- they're just very loud and insistent.

I can't hate the leftie loonies, can't hate anyone. I just hope & pray they never have to lose anyone the way some of us did in 9/11. I wouldn't wish that on anyone, ever.

[quote] Yes, commemorating the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil ever should not be about inclusion and unity. People are fucking gross.

Did you know that they started the inclusion crap almost immediately after the original event?

Originally, a sculptor was going to make a statue of this picture to eventually be installed at Ground Zero. However, the black community complained because there was no black person in it, so the idea was scrapped.

Given that the Taliban will be retaking Afghanistan this week, how far away from another 9/11?

One of the saddest things was WOW used lots of undocumented workers. There was no record of them, of course. Unless their families knew they were working there that day, they just vanished. Very heartbreaking to never know one way or the other if someone was dead or alive.

Just 27 days and we get an anniversary present. I believe it’s plutonium.

[quote] It's probably just one or two posting the same lame radical nonsense.

A lot of it is posted by rightwing trolls actually.

Based on the "logic" being employed by r52 and r53, any adherent of the religion of Islam deserves to die.

After all, if colonial expansion is a crime so great that it must be repaid at all costs and in the most violent and vicious ways possible, such as a 9/11 attack, then the most successful colonial power the world has ever seen, the Umma of Islam, deserves something approaching multiple nuclear strikes.

Within 30 years the captured the entire Persian empire, the entire Byzantine Empire. The following 100 years, they invaded and colonised the entire Egyptian Empire, the eastern and southern coasts of the Mediterranean sea, and all - yes ALL - of Spain.

Millions upon millions upon millions of people were murdered and sold into muslim slavery just during the invasions alone, to say nothing of the centuries of pain inflicted afterwards and right up until this day in places such as, yes, Afghanistan.

You're angry about colonialism, r52 and r53? Well then save your ire for Muslims.

Here is a brief snapshot of only part of the Umma's expansion

Oh, and silly me, I forgot the Muslim conquest of the ENTIRE INDIAN CONTINENT, killing, enslaving and converting all the way through, just like they did everywhere else.

Most of the Muslims' massive colonial conquests were done in the space of 100 years. Imagine the intensity of the shock and pain the Muslim colonists must have inflicted in order to succeed in overtaking so many different countries and societies in that vanishingly short period of time. They were basically doing multiple 9/11s a day, every day, for over 100 years.

Most of the countries never got out from under the yoke of Islamic colonial power. The ones who did had to fight for 10 generations to get it done. Spain took 500 years of constant fighting to kick the Muslim colonists out. India never fully succeeded until 1948.

Fuck me [R22]. That better be the grossest thing I see all day. Breeders from lesser places always have to make everything about themselves. I remember plenty of them with the fake hand wringing during their yearly social media 9/11 "remembrances" posts. "Oh gawd! I rushed to my kid's school in Stinktwat, Alabama that terrible day because we just didn't know if we were next!" Trust me cunt; you weren't. You have nothing worth attacking.

I'm sure this is chum to the Magat base but how many Republican Congresspeople voted against funding healthcare to the 9/11 responders? More than a few. So from me and every New Yorker living or dead going aaaaallllll the way back to Peter Stuyvesant, a hearty "Get fucked!"

All the pathetic America hating right wing nuts have descended on DL lately pushing the same old tired talking points they’ve never updated. This just shows you what nasty, vile people most conservatives are. They have A LOT in common with the radicals in the Middle East. You’d think they’d bond over hating the same people and being conservative.

R68, thanks for bringing the Chinese perspective to this thread.

I blocked 57 and suddenly dozens of posts disappeared.

33, 34, 35, 38, 41,43, 46,47, 48, 50, 52, 53, 57, 58, 61 are all the same person. Trolldar it.

[quote] Given that the Taliban will be retaking Afghanistan this week, how far away from another 9/11?

Before mid-term elections. Rut-roh!

[quote]Given that the Taliban will be retaking Afghanistan this week, how far away from another 9/11?

I'd concern myself with the deplorable terrorists.

[quote] 33, 34, 35, 38, 41,43, 46,47, 48, 50, 52, 53, 57, 58, 61 are all the same person. Trolldar it.

Most likely. But I have two questions:

1. How do you trolldar someone? Do you mean block?

2. I often suspect that there are people on here making multiple posts agreeing with themselves as different people. Is there a way to track responders?

[quote] I'd concern myself with the deplorable terrorists.

Such as yourself? I agree 100%

[quote] Your verbal terrorism is as typical of your race as the real-world terrorism it has enabled, [R49].

Oh OK. So, what race am I?

Our American Taliban, or republicans as we call them, are far more likely to cause death and destruction than the fucking Afghanistan Taliban.

R77 - One of the many crazies released from California mental institutions, now living on Venice Beach.

Right wing domestic terrorism is the #1 threat to the USA. They have a lot in common with each other.

[quote] 33, 34, 35, 38, 41,43, 46,47, 48, 50, 52, 53, 57, 58, 61 are all the same person.

And so is R73, R77, and R79. She's cuckoo for Taliban!

Trolldar 80. Same poster as the ones as r71 points out. Also, 74, 75, 76 and 78 are all the same person r71 trolldar’d.

So I am arguing both sides? You're fucking bat-shit crazy.

add 82 to that list. Trolldar and look at its posts. They all match.

Donald Trump and his crew of evil criminals tried and failed to stage a coup on 1/6/2021. Let me repeat that, Trump tried to OVERTHROW the US government because of his hurt feewings. Fuck 9/11, that was 20 fucking years ago! Trump's coup attempt is far more despicable than 9/11. It was an internal attack! Spare me your patriotic bullshit, OP.

[quote] far more despicable than 9/11

If you truly believe that, r84, you're too stupid to live and you're stealing oxygen from the rest of us.

This is what 82 said upthread. “ Wow, this thread really brought out all the America-hating far-Left lunatics. Yikes. Like cockroaches in the night.”

Yes, cunt, you’re arguing with yourself. Do you know HOW EASY it is to trolldar? Dumb fucking cunt.

R85 Yes, bitch, trying to overthrow our government is FAR worse. Far, far worse. I’m not R84 but they are 100% correct.

Then you need to join r84, r87. Both of you need to take one-way trips to Afghanistan and stop stinking op the place with your low IQs.

Fuck you! You go to Afghanistan since you want to live under fascist rule. That's what you want - go get it! Take Chump and his criminal crew with you. This a democracy that my family, my ancestors fought and died for. Take you faux-patriotic fervor stick it straight up Trump's ass, sideways.

[quote] This is what 82 said upthread. “ Wow, this thread really brought out all the America-hating far-Left lunatics. Yikes. Like cockroaches in the night.” Yes, cunt, you’re arguing with yourself. Do you know HOW EASY it is to trolldar? Dumb fucking cunt.

I have no idea what you are going on about. Yes, I made the cockroach comment. So what? My argument isn't shifting back and forth between sides. And if it's so easy to trolldar then I guess someone need to show you how it's done because you clearly don't know. You are crazy, stupid, and worst of all disgusting with your hate-America nonsense. Please go to your beloved Afghanistan where they will stone you to death for being gay.

Afghanistan should be the MAGAts dream once the Taliban takes over.

Damn, we’ve been infested with deplorable Russian trolls lately. Like R88.Well, as has been proven here, it is mainly one person talking to itself.

[quote]If you truly believe that, [R84], you're too stupid to live and you're stealing oxygen from the rest of us.

Then I'll explain it to you, you fucking idiot. What happened on 9/11 happened because over countless decades, we fucked over countless countries, destroyed them, killed or in some way aided fanatics and dictators. We stole natural resources or maintained a foreign policy which served to suppress the human rights of people who've had their land stolen from them.

It only took a racist orange mother fucking clown four years of being a whining, stupid bitch for a bunch of psycho, white trash savages who didn't have their families, killed, didn't have their country destroyed and nothing actually stolen from them, to go berserk and try to KILL people. All because they lost a democratic election and couldn't accept it.

What happened here on 1/6 IS worse specifically because it didn't take much for those terrorists to try and kill and destroy our govt. And it was far more than 19 fucking people. That's the part you ignore. You witnessed hundreds of white people try and overthrow our govt and because they weren't successful in actually GETTING to kill elected official, you think it wasn't worse? It was because it's a place that already has a ton of security that they couldn't do what they wanted to do.

families killed*

R92 You are arguing with a Boris. They are all over DL lately.

[quote] Originally, a sculptor was going to make a statue of this picture to eventually be installed at Ground Zero. However, the black community complained because there was no black person in it, so the idea was scrapped.

It was worse than that. You posted the photo of the three firemen raising the flag. The sculptor was the one who decided to "improve" that history. Eventually they will add a tranny to the Iwo Jima memorial.

------------------

The photograph of the firemen hoisting the American flag calls to mind the picture of six American soldiers raising a flag atop a hill on Iwo Jima in 1945. And, as was the case with the World War II image, the more recent photo has inspired a commemorative statue.

But a petition is being circulated within the New York City Fire Department to quash the project. The petitioners are upset because the statue depicts a white man, a black man, and a Latino man raising the flag, whereas the actual event captured in the photograph involved three white firefighters only.

R94 = Chao Li bot

R95 Who gives a fuck! It should be representative of all who died.
