Andrew Cuomo announced after the Oct. 31 truck attack in Manhattan that the killing spree by one young man ‘did not instill terror’ among New Yorkers. Indeed, the city’s Halloween parade was not canceled. Life mostly went on.
“And the governor’s point was made. We must not be complicit in the Islamic State’s aim of spreading self-debilitating fear….
