As Twitchy reported, at least eight people were killed and about a dozen injured Tuesday afternoon after a 29-year-old man drove a rental truck down a bicycle path in Manhattan. Investigators are still putting together the details of the incident, but it is being called a terrorist attack and the suspect is in custody.
We know that late-night host and conscience of America Jimmy Kimmel blamed timing for the absence of Harvey Weinstein jokes on his show after that news broke; will his crack team of writers be able to come up with a lecture on terrorism before airtime?
Remember everyone, our moral compass @jimmykimmel said it's totally cool to politicize tragic events like this.

Can’t wait to hear what god-king @jimmykimmel has to say about today’s events. He is my moral compass, after all.

I wonder if @jimmykimmel is gonna be coming out in tears calling every truck driver and rental shop owner personally responsible for today..

Jimmy Kimmel is gunna go IN on Home Depot and the big truck lobby tonight!

Which group of Americans will Jimmy Kimmel accuse of being complicit in the #ManhattanAttack? Which lobby will get blamed? Trucker's Unions?

Can't wait for Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert denounce radical Islam in their show tonight……

Just because the suspect shouted “Allahu Akbar” after crashing into a school bus? (That’s “God is great” in Arabic … thanks, CNN.)
I have a weird feeling that we won't be subjected to a Jimmy Kimmel lecture or national conversation about today's attack.

No lectures from the usual suspects about how sending prayers to the victims is useless and we must do something now? https://t.co/1Dsjit2Axz

Maybe Kimmel and company will rally the American people against Islamic terrorism?
.@jimmykimmel Chuck Schumer writing you a lecture about trucks?
— Zombialy (@AnthonyBialy) October 31, 2017
The lecture will be about Islamophobia. https://t.co/NBcBZht7wu

Hey Jimmy! You gonna call for a ban on rental trucks? This killing has to stop! Use your voice for good! #truckskillpeople

I hope .@jimmykimmel calls for background checks on all Muslims renting cars

Nah, he’ll just break down in tears because the killer terrorist is misunderstood and not responsible for his actions.
