OK this is hilarious - celebrations at the end of the Bolt race in New York

[malaise]

shut down parts of JFK as the banging of furniture etc., led to someone calling the police about gunshots. There were no gunshots but parts of the airport and a road leading to it were closed.

We have everyone so fucking freaked out because of the fucking 2nd amendment and the NRA fueling the gun frenzy.

John F. Kennedy Airport’s Terminal 8 was evacuated Sunday night after gunshots were reported. Or at least people thought it was gunshots.

After an initial investigation, police discovered that it was not gunfire that startled frightened travelers at JFK. It was actually clapping and banging after Usain Bolt’s history-making sprint that caused the ruckus.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said the initial call came in at 9:30 p.m., which is about a minute after Bolt won his 100-meter race, securing a gold medal. There were no injuries reported, though the FAA placed a ground stop at the airport.

Bolt made history Sunday, becoming the first sprinter to win the 100-meter race in three straight Olympic games. While his 9.80-second time didn’t light up the stopwatch, it did set off some large celebrations.

3. Group think - heard a woman interviewed on radio who was sure she heard gunshots

Remember when the DC sniper was riding around in a white minivan .....that turned out to be a dark blue sedan?
