Something else that struck me was the fact that the article mentions window bars and no exit through the rear of the establishment. The perp doused some patrons with kerosene and was fliccing his Bic.
This reminds me of the fire at the illegal and window-barred Chinese cyber cafe where many perished because of no way out.
Wonder if there's ever any fire inspection at these joints in NYC. This incident had the potential for a fiery holocaust.

I am proud of this woman for saving all those lives, and for the other woman for helping and for the born again woman for cursing satan. V's wife.

BTTT.
A black-on-white "hate crime" that the media cannot--and has not--ignored.
Three cheers to the unlikely folks at the Daily News for their coverage. Note that the New York Post saw fit to lead with Tiger Woods on page one--careful readers of the Post as of late can tell that the times they are a-changin' over there, and not for the better. As for the Gray Lady, The PC Times buried the shooting in the Metro section.

I was wondering, does kerosene burn. Gasoline is easily acquired and burns nicely, but I thought kerosene was hard to ignite.

Hmmmmmmmmm. "East Village bar" - wanna bet the men and women in attendance were "gender identity challenged". Bar Veloce is not a gay bar. The East Village is no more gay than most other parts of New York. You're thinking of the West Village
To: NerdDad
"Wine Bar" in the East Village = DYKE bar.Nope; I've been there. Straight crowd, mostly yuppie wine drinkers.
To: kattracks
You know, I can't help but think that if this occured before 9-11, they'd all be dead- including the two women who jumped him. The effects of 9-11 will last forever- people aren't in the mood take this kind of crap anymore.

Sorry, I stand corrected.
To: Lurking Libertarian
Me, too. It's a tiny little joint right up the street from Tompkins Square Park with an excellent champagne selection, if I remember correctly.

Thanks for the ping.
This should be a hate crime. Glad the women had the stones to overpower him.

One of the things seldom mentioned about AIDS is that in the latter stages it can produce some serious mental problems. That's not to defend this guy, but I would be inclined to suspect that AIDS dementia had something to do with this. (one of the things the PC police will slap your hands for mentioning)
To: goldstategop
Gosh, where were the male heroes when you need em? It was a wine bar.
To: ventana
"Cops then stormed the restaurant and one Emergency Service Unit officer fired a single shot that grazed Johnson in the head."
Note that the police waited until the two women had the situation under control.
