NYPD vetting Tumblr claiming to be Chelsea bomber 'manifesto' - NY Daily News

The NYPD is vetting a Tumblr page that claimed to be the “manifesto” of the New York City bomber— and threatened more explosions to come, a police source said.

The page, called “I’m the NY Bomber,” claimed to be written by the person who planted bombs in Chelsea Saturday night.

A police source told the Daily News the department is investigating the blog. Another source said the NYPD is speaking to local LGBT activists for any clues about the webpage.

The page went down shortly before 2 p.m. Sunday.

The page, which had a rainbow flag in its banner, said the bombs are a protest against the oppression of the LGBT community— even though they were left in one of New York's most gay-friendly neighborhoods.

“You probably have all seen the news by now, the explosives detonated in New York City, that was me,” the first post said.

“I did it because I cannot stand society. I cannot live in a world where homosexuals like myself as well as the rest of the LGBTQ+ community are looked down upon by society.”

It also singled out Donald Trump, saying, "I am not going to live in a country where it is OK to have a misogynist, xenophobic, racist Islamophobic, republican candidate running for President of The United States!"

In a second post, the author wrote, “I don’t know exactly how I feel about taking human lives.”

“I suppose I’m just going to have to move forward knowing that what I am doing had a purpose and will in fact make a difference,” it said.

“I’ll keep you all posted.”

Both posts were published Sunday.
