New Yorkers Harassed by Suspicious Foreigner Attempting to Say Hello
This just in: An elderly Nebraska man visiting New York City has been accused of terrorizing New Yorkers on their way to work. Eye witness accounts indicate he’s been spotted approaching people minding their own business and saying things like, “Hello” and “Nice weather we’re having today, eh?”

Trump Officials Clarify What Constitutes an Act of Domestic Terrorism
