Nutter of the Day

Many of you know that I work in Lower Manhattan near Ground Zero. I take PATH every day, and when I say that there are more than a few nutters who patrol the permiter of Ground Zero with their conspiracy theories and nuttiness, I'm not kidding.

 

That's just one example of what can greet you when you come out of PATH in the morning. In this case, it was a woman in her 30s who was carrying this sign high above the crowd. It's insulting to the memories of the nearly 3,000 people who were murdered on 9/11 to think that beam weapons destroyed the towers.

It's not like there isn't video showing the planes hitting or the collapses of the Twin Towers beginning from at and above the level of the planes striking the towers.

Beam weapons? That's little more than blaming the government for the attacks.

Lest we forget, more than 30% think that the government conspired to cause the attacks.

If you look over the shoulder of the woman holding the sign, to the left you see the rising 1WTC (f/k/a Freedom Tower), and to the right is 7WTC. Tens of thousands of people converge on this location every day to commute between New York and New Jersey. It's fertile ground on which these conspiracy nuts can spread their message.
