    Yes, another shooting.

    It's odd how the headline focuses on "some MAY have been hit by police bullets", then is repeated in the first line, then nothing else about it.

    I shall have to do some digging of my own!

    And these are the people who are well trained and are supposed to act with dignity in the event of a shooting. Yikes!

    I'm not going to condemn the police, if a guy starts shooting at random people they have to take him out as soon as possible.

    The shooter, killed 1

    The police, killed the shooter 1

    9 other people hit by so-called stray police fire
    SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

    CNN says two police officers were shot and are being treated. I was just in midtown Manhattan earlier this week... I can imagine how chaotic it would have been. Sad.

    :lol::lol: buckle up boys and girls I smell yet another gun debate coming our way with what has already started with "what if" and "can you imagine"....so stay tuned and join in on the action you can only find right here on the Moving Train. :lol::lol:

  • I honestly don't think we need another gun debate. if it turns into that, I'll ask the mods to lock it up.

    I was just pointing out how sad it is that this seems to be the norm these days.

    I mean, seriously, even I am becoming desensitized to this shit already it's becoming so common. I read the headline, and I was like "big shock". Now all I'm hoping for is a low fatality rate, instead of being shocked and wishing it wasn't real.

    What a scary thing to happen in such a crowded area. I'm sad to hear this.

    :lol:8-) Well, I'd assume you know where I stand on guns...but wow, I can't even imagine what a gunfight in crowed Manhattan is like, and how in the world police are trained to handle it properly. You'd almost have to assume there will be innocents hit by police if they are rushing to put down the perpetrator.

    Worked there for six years, laid off in a downsizing, been laid off for a year...
    comes back to kill the man responsible, the office manager,
    whom both accuse the other of harassment history.

    Wonder how many times this scenario plays out ...
    minus the gunfire of course.

    Police are not sure if he used his gun, other than towards the intended victim,
    they say he may have only pointed at the police, never firing. Suicidal perhaps?
    They say the returning police gunfire may have injured the crowd.

    I agree no need to rehash the gun debate.
    Gunlaws would not have stopped this ...
    revenge is sweet for some as they leave this world....
    is that a notion of a distraught depressed person?

    Watched Horrible Bosses last night, ironically.

    I just think the way people treat each other is a crime in itself.

    That is your opinion, others may beg to differ.

    I'd be pretty pissed off if I got shot by a cop because he was firing towards innocent people. Wtf.

    Nation Celebrates Full Week Without Deadly Mass Shooting
    ____
    UPDATE: Never Mind


    NEW YORK—Cheers filled the streets and American flags waved triumphantly through the air today as the nation turned out in full force to celebrate an entire week having passed since the last time a madman opened fire on innocent civilians in some kind of fatal mass shooting. “We did it, folks! We banded together and managed to go seven whole days without killing our fellow Americans in a senseless murdering spree!” Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano said in a speech to jubilant throngs gathered in Times Square. “Yes, some people were shot this week, but not in a random, highly public, viscerally disturbing way and—most importantly—not all in one place, by one psychopath. Maybe one day we can live in a society where abominable large-scale gun violence stays out of the national headlines for a whole month even!” At press time, federal authorities had issued a reminder to all Americans that a lot can happen in 24 hours, “so let’s not get too excited yet.”

    UPDATE: Federal officials have reportedly just informed celebrating Americans that a mass shooting did in fact just happen in front of the Empire State Building, and that citizens should stop chanting and cheering now. “Oh,” Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano said, looking at what appeared to be a news alert on her cell phone. “You know what, forget it. There was another one about 20 blocks from here. So, party’s over. Sorry.” Napolitano then urged the visibly saddened Americans to be careful, get back home as soon as possible, lock all their doors, and never leave their homes unless it is absolutely essential.
    Be Excellent To Each Other
    Party On, Dudes!

    Did you think it was fact? I did not....

    guess I need to go back to in my opinion after every few lines ;)
    it goes without saying...

    It's also bait, Pandora.

    You say there is no need to rehash the gun debate and immediately follow your statement with the proclamation, "Gun laws would not have stopped this..."
