It will only be a case of Terrorism if the shooter was a white guy

"At this point, it cannot be confirmed whether or not the shooter was a TEA Party member."

FoxNews reports that City Officials report NO SIGN OF TERRORISM.

[Ask the victims and those on the streets when the shooting was going on.]

Workplace violence is now the reason, apparently.

“God told me to” is the name of a relatively obscure Larry Cohen movie about a rash of people being inspired to random mass murder (I won’t spoiler it, but it’s not God that’s doing the inspiring).

There was also Karloff’s last US movie, an early Bogdonavich film “Targets” about a mass-murdering sniper.

These were obviously dark movies - I can’t help but wonder if the dystopians were right about society (q.v., Clockwork Orange, Fahrenheit 451, 1984). Dark times, indeed.

May the Lord have mercy on us.

Bloomberg embarrassed over this am sure... missed this perp to "stop and frisk" as "commanders have grown wary of pushing for such stops at daily roll calls"... "officers are unsure whether the Political support remains for street stops"

I’m sure there’s plenty of chaos...midtown is always kind of frenetic. (I lived at 54th and 1st for years)

Thanks for link. Trying to catch up. Had to take dog out. Sounds like it may have been an employee at the Empire State Building. Perhaps another security guard is speculation of Gasperino. 10 people injured now.

An innocent female bystander is said to be the other one to have died.

I agree with this photo. One random shooting I can accept, maybe even two, but a shooting every two or three days, all across the country, is signs of an American Syria, Libya, Egypt, sub-Sahara Africa, and the result of an America, becoming exactly what Obama and his minions want.

First destroy the economy, then the jobs, then turn citizens on one another, provoke racism at every opportunity, etc. You get the picture!!! America, you better wake up quickly, or.....you may be the next victim of the coming, “Obama”s America”!!! On election day, 2012, destroy Obama and the entire “Hate America” Democrat Party, politically!!!

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep.
And miles to go before I sleep.

Miles to go, Yuri.

I’m several blocks up so all I can see is flashing lights. Used to walk by there pretty regularly depending on which way path I took to the office, but I moved recently. Would have been walking by around that time.
