EW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Envelopes containing white powder turned up at multiple banks in Manhattan on Monday, police told 1010 WINS.
Five of the envelopes were sent to Wells Fargo banks, one was sent to JP Morgan Chase headquarters and another was sent to Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s Office and ended up in a mailroom on Gold Street.
The powder was determined to be cornstarch, police said.
1010 WINS’ Sonia Rincon Hears From Deputy Police Commissioner Paul Browne
Hazmat teams and detectives were dispatched to banks all afternoon checking for possible threats, 1010 WINS’ Sonia Rincon reported.
The envelopes also contained notes that were nearly identical, containing references to “May Day,” which falls on May 1 and is a traditional rally day for labor movements.
The notes also included statements such as “You have 10 seconds to stop working,” “You are not in control” and “[Expletive] the banks.”
Occupy Wall Street is planning a big demonstration Tuesday in New York City, urging followers to block traffic at bridges and tunnels to make it hard for people to get to work.
That has the NYPD suspecting that there may be an Occupy Wall Street connection to the letters.
“I’m not aware of any unions who are actually striking, but the message seems to be connected to that, saying ‘Stop work, you have 10 seconds to do it,’” Browne told 1010 WINS’ Rincon.
hear that ya pinks, occupy=terrorists.
or is it just manipulation of events by tptb?
it could be anyone, but im sure they'll trace it to some stooge in a vendetta mask.
be interesting to see what happens with all this bridge blocking shit. can't see it going too far. that's a lot of $ to lose if they pull it off.
i think its a nice idea n everything, this occupy stuff. but what has it really done? maybe got people thinking a bit, but then news like this comes out to smear them as pranksters or worse terrorists.
has there ever been a peaceful revolution? nobodys going to give up that kind of wealth and power without a fight.
i think occupy is like the pilot episode of a show. and it's kinda sucking, i dont think anyone's going to commit to a series.
just sayin.. not something i'd get into, with no real outcome.
then there's riots which would turn you into an enemy of the public, unless we're all pissed off enough to start tossing bricks.
so how do people get pissed off enough?
they kicked out of their house, lose their savings, fucked by the banks. and still, here we are and its continuing. its already effecting everyone. are we all just fat and docile and forgetful?
like for example: kony 2012 - some closet fruit makes a video about that warlord who may or may not be dead, and millions of people pay attention because they have to do fuck all to feel like they made a difference and they can get some trendy rainbow bracelet for
buying guns saving kids.
how does that get all the attention and action? i think because it's easy... and changing our life is hard.
so i dunno. no answers from me, just criticisms.
) this is one of the reasons I avoid places like fb like the plague.
