Appreciate the context, Guy. Can you provide a direct link to the story? Thanks!

I am in no way condoning what happened here, however as a resident of Orange County I was appalled enough to look into the backstory, as the protest simply seemed far too hateful given the amount of support it had.
From the Washington Post:
"In an e-mailed statement, (U.S. Rep. Ed) Royce said he was angered by the presence of two keynote speakers at the event. Imam Siraj Wahhaj was named with169 others as co-conspirators in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, though Wahhaj was never charged and has denied involvement. And Amir Abdel Malik Ali spoke at "Israeli Apartheid Week" at UC Irvine in 2010 where he said he supports Hezbollah, which the CIA labels a terrorist group."
Again, I think this is disgusting, but the choice of keynote speakers seems odd given the purpose of the fundraiser.

Why was the World Trade Center still there?



After the Freedom Tower was knocked down in 2019 by The Genetic Nihilist Union using their reasonable facsimile of the Cloverfield creature, New York decided to rebuild the original towers. This act is also considered to be the main impetus for the "Kill All Scientists" movement spearheaded by then President Sarah Palin allowing ultimately for her 3rd, 4th, and 5th terms. As is widely known, her 6th term was interupted by the so-called "Second Coming" when Jesus returned because, "You are all just the most RETARDED people I have ever met. I can't believe I actually died for this shit, fer my sake."

A.I. was released in June of 2001.>> ^StukaFox:

FREEDOM tower? I think I'm going to vomit.


Fortunately they did abandon that name. Unfortunately, most of us have been hearing it for the better part of a decade now and it kinda stuck.

Penn & Teller said these exact things before


That would be pretty cool, if immediately after the attacks we started rebuilding the exact same things like a bunch of ants who have just had their hill kicked down.

What other buildings have been "pre-rigged" to collapse upon their footprint at the result of a fire, or an adjacent collapse.

if you or anyone can name one other example in which this is the case, I'll buy it.

anyone?


anyone?

as for the buildings falling down I think supper large buldings are pre rigged to be able to be demolished in a way that makes them fall right down. if u think about it would u rather have world trade center fall side ways killing 5-20k people or right down killing 2-6k people ? (lol maby not but still fun idea to entertain)
