I guess evacuating everyone and everything in a panic is a more reasonable approach than some flatfoot saying, "hey bud, what the hell are you doing?"

Apparently so.
From the article:

"He said this was his way of honoring the deceased,” said Port Authority Police spokesman Joseph Pentangelo. Salt is often used in Shinto rituals to purify an area or a sacred space.

I had no idea

Has been for centuries in Japan and in other Asian countries, salt is a precious thing so giving a precious thing to the Dead is a sign of respect

New York is such a nice place, my friends just don't understand why I don't come visit them there.

If salt gets people evacuated and you arrested then wtf happens when some Arby's horsey sauce packets fall out of your pocket?

Yeah, he totally should have to ask to mourn the dead in a normal and peaceful way at a public memorial.

All that I can tell you is that a black van pulls up and three masked men pulls you in with a hood on.  No idea what happens to you then, all I know those people are never heard from again.


That's all that I can say before they send out a squad to pick me up too.

New York City is an awesome place.  You are missing out.  


Given the context of potential terrorist attacks, seeing an individual spreading what appears to be a white chemical for no reason in a memorial could absolutely be seen as suspicious.  Given anthrax/ricin scares in the past, such a reaction in a HIGHLY sensitive place like the 9/11 memorial - with lots of security and scrutiny - is not completely unreasonable.

It's just an unfortunate misunderstanding, nothing else.  Not some horrific indictment of New York City.

The Romans also mined salt, the word "salary" is derived from the word for salt, and phrases such as "back to the salt mines," and "not worth his salt;"

Sounds like a Misdemeanor Theft or Shoplifting by Concealment charge to me, unless you've got a receipt for those condiments.

I'm really sorry he had to go through that. The guy was honoring our dead.

At the same time, I can sympathize with the overreaction. We live in an era in which terrorist attacks in major western cities happen almost every month. So I really can't blame the guy who saw a person spreading an unidentified white powder around the 9/11 memorial and jumped to a conclusion.

I don't go to New York City for the occasional weekend to talk about politics with voters.  I go to enjoy the amazing restaurants, museums, performances, architecture, etc.  

I'd also enjoy a trip to China to enjoy some of their spectacular landscapes, food, history, etc.   Sorry.

Yeah, I've seen a lot of Japanese people yelling dollar snackbar and blowing themselves up over the past few years.

For a liberal shit hole that prides itself in multiculturalism they sure don't know their ass from a hole in the wall. I'm a redneck from Colorado and even I know about their religious rituals.

Humans profile and judge for a reason, if the squinty eyed salary man had a beard and a goat in tow, perhaps then I might take pause.
