Schnitzel & Things Called a Terrorist Threat
Is there any truck in Midtown that gets into more trouble than the Schnitzel & Things truck? There was the fight with Mister Softee, the catching on fire, having their tires slashed, and having the cops called on them by Fox News. But this could be the craziest. According to Business Insider (via Grub Street), they were forced to leave their spot on 54th and Lex after somebody from the Citigroup building called the cops and claimed they were a terrorist threat. Sure, the aftermath of a schnitzel burger could be considered a dirty bomb of sorts- but terrorist threat? That’s a little extreme, don’t you think?
Even though they packed up and left on Friday (it was the end of lunch service anyway), the truck doesn’t seem too deterred. According to this weeks schedule they’ll be back on 54th and Lex again this Friday.

Ease up on the Sharpie, Bossman. He has friends in HIGH PLACES, if you get my drift.

What are you getting at?
Didn’t you have a more appropriate avatar?

His DocChuck09 userid had a different avatar, including the one I believe you are referring to here, although he has/had several other userids here.

This one?

I guess Citigroup doesn’t like pounded and fried meat. Very sad.

WTH? Schnitzel is codeword for nuclear?
I’ll believe it when I see Jack Bauer on the scene. -
so when you line it all out like that… it sounds like mr softee slashed their tires and is now prank calling the cops on them too
-
Spydr: You should be very wary of white trucks playing music that may be following you down the street…..
-
So according to the cop in the Business Insider article, 54th and Lex is a “high profile” area and citigroup center itself is “high profile.” How does that give them the right to just call the cops on anyone on the grounds that he/she/it is a terrorist threat? There has to be some reasonable basis for the allegation, otherwise it’s another abuse of our post 9/11 system.
-
That building doesn’t play around. They were cited as a terrorist target right after 9/11. Ever since then they run routine security drills with cops fully suited with body armor and automatic rifles. Parking in front of there is kind of a no brainer. You just don’t really do it.
-
but there are tons of commercial vehicles outside any given day (on the far side of 54th, which is where Schnitz was)…why is a big, well-known vendor truck a greater threat than unmarked, white windowless vans or delivery trucks that frequently park there?
-
You mean “NOT parking in front of there is a no-brainer”!
-
You are correct, Sir. I’m still a little foggy today since I was dragged to a club till three in the morning last night.

Shitty Bank is shitty. Derp.

The crappy architecture, fucked-up elevators, and pretenious attitude would lead Ghandi to source C4.

OK, whoever you are (Fred?), wrong forum.

Not Fred, stevenp. And I disagree with your conclusion that it’s the wrong forum. Perhaps you should link to the site for your own edification?

someone who really hates shnitzel?
Did they try to smuggle more than 3.4oz of fluid on a plane?
Yet, somehow, Al Sharpton still roams free, go figure.
