Watch Live: NYC officials give update on suspicious package bomb investigation

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio praised a security guard for his "quick-witted work" in notifying authorities Thursday morning about a suspicious package addressed to actor Robert De Niro. The package was found in lower Manhattan.

De Blasio said the device was taken to the New York Police Department bomb squad's facility. The mayor said the device was "very similar to the other devices that have been located in the last 48 hours."

It's a sad day in America when the lower level officials take Political Terrorism more seriously then the leader of the free world...

If Trump wouldn’t be President but a normal guy with a online blog, he would be under investigation!

There should be more layers of screening so that a pkg outside or in the mail doesn't cause an entire skyscraper to be evaluated with huge loss of business.

These packages could not have been delivered through one post office. So therefore our postal service FAILED to flag how many packages that we're successfully delivered to high echelon addresses? Like Robert Deniro, Hillary Clinton, and George Soros without postmark or nobody questioning content prior to delivery. Come on how would you like to be the courier delivering such a package to Hillary, you wouldn't at least stop and call your supervisor? Think they still have a job. Who's accountable? The accused suspects FB and social media updated after he was in custody. The BPD found a device outside the post office today. What ever is really going on we need to stop dividing ourselves because of these rediculous acts.

There is ONE responsible we can think of... A.K.A. "Intellectual author". as words matter, he is an instigator... as for the material crime suspect, well.. it could be any 400 pound guy sitting in his basement.

The big give away that anyone looking up these addresses on the web would be targeted instantly. An arrest would have been made pronto, or at least a very serious inquiry taken place. Nice try.
