I try to keep it mild here. But it seems to be a good demonstration of what happens if a crazy, law abiding gun owner goes nuts. Then, the police, certainly well trained professionals, try to quickly neutralize the situation. So many innocent people get in the way. Guns just make a bad situation much worse.

The jerkk off bought his gun in Fla. What we need to do is have more marksmanship training.

this wasn't a mass murder...it was a vengeance killing.

Cops need better training, and maybe one of them needs to be put on a desk.

and before the flames start, I am not anti-gun, I have more than my share. I just have to laugh when after every mass shooting of any kind, the "if I had just been there with my spoon, I would have taken him down immediately" posts start.

Gun rights
Guys, I'm sorry to say it, but there are many new gun laws coming down the pike. What argument do we have against them? Our citizens have thrown personal responsibility out the window in every aspect of their lives. Many don't even bother managing their own families any longer. I'm afraid that we can't get it back.
The shooting in NYC was a real tragedy in many ways. |

There was a single public murder.
Then the NYPD shot nine bystanders. Graphic Photos of Alleged Empire State Building Shooter "The scene's other victims, it's now believed, were likely hit by stray police bullets — as has been pointed out, Johnson's gun only held eight bullets, three of which he used on his former manager. And yet nine people were shot." |
