Early reports suggest nearly 100 dead at the annual March of Dimes charity ball in uptown Manhattan. While reports are still coming in, it would seem that some sort of incendiary device was used, & there appear to be no survivors.
The President had this to say:
"America wholly denounces this monstrous act, a case of domestic terrorism on par with 9/11. As then, every resource we have will be brought down on these perpetrators - no stone shall remain unturned until they have been found & brought to justice."
Echoing this response, Homeland Security & FBI are conducting investigations, though there is no official comment at this time. Several radical-left terrorist groups have claimed responsibilty. The reaction from the public appears split on ideological lines, with most americans abhorring the bombing of a charity - however, West Coast "Antifa" strongholds are tacitly celerbrating the attack, as the majority of the victims were wealthy philanthropists.
Camera cuts away to a bearded Hipster wearing an "Eat the Rich" shirt who is being interviwed:
"So, these so-called "Charities" are just tax shelters for the 1% Elites; This was clearly a strike against the Wealthy class made by the rising proletariot happening all around the country - it's about time these people suffered from Late-Stage Capitalism like the rest of us have."
We will continue 24/7 coverage of this evolving situation.
We swear to secure our people against the wickedness and evil of the invisible world.
We swear to aid the afflicted.
We swear to stay ever vigilant and seek out the abominable witchcrafts committed in this country.
We humbly pray to be blessed by God to hold all those who consort with the Devil accountable. Amen
—Opening and closing prayer for Sons of Salem meetings.
The Sons of Salem is a loosely-organized conservative populist movement in the United States that preaches violent opposition to anything they perceive as witchcraft, demonic, or monstrous.
Blowhard podcaster Ted Gundy and former general of the mercenary group “Hognose,” Roland Rush, founded the movement in 2010 after a series of violent werewolf attacks and unexplained, supernatural murders in Tennessee. Memberships grew quickly, stoked by Ted’s fiery doomsday rhetoric on his podcast "Truth Seekers" and the aspiration of the masculine power embodied by Roland.
Although they speak of duty, honor, and maintaining the “natural order” of things, the Sons of Salem are driven by fear. They collect guns and appear at protests en-masse as a way of easing the all-consuming terror of their powerlessness. At the same time, they have conditioned themselves to respond to fear with “strength” (read: violence).
