Yet another mass killing. Empire State Building ...
Eight shot. Shooter dead.
Guns guns guns.
Mayor Bloomberg will go berserk.
I have the telly on now. Just coming up for 2100 so the main news in a minute or so.
---Update---
Gunman killed. It's No2 after Breivik so I'll leave it for now.
"Take this, brother; may it serve you well."
Any chance it's not a white guy? It'd be nice if just one of these nut jobs wasn't white....

Has Thinkingofgoingonashootingspree been posting today?
Oh, yes. He was on earlier anyway.Originally Posted by Beavis
Yeah, we're getting a bad name.
Probably some disgruntled worker or some lunatic dumped by his gf.
Unfortunately four people have died and others injured. No description of the attacker I'm afraid, Beavis. The police say that it's not terrorism related. Gunman killed as I said before. It's rush hour in New York. That's it. So, still a developing story.

A work-related shooting in Koreatown. Two dead including the shooter.
Just about every shooting report starts with that "not a terrorist" now.
I wonder if this is a strictly American phenomenon?
We don't get that in Canada..

Touch some wood, Russ. You never know what might happen.
But we never have tazzed an airline passenger to death.
Just to add - not long ago a taxi driver, a 'mild mannered, guy next door, who would have thought it?' type went on a shooting rampage at the edge of England's Lake District.
I might as well mention that (caveat) according to the tabloids, he was a regular visitor to Pattaya and hung out with a group called 'The Taxi Boys' - none of whom were mass killers or anything.
Anyway, the story was that he was a bit of a nutter around this certain go-go dancer. Obsessive, jealous. They'd tell this guy that she'd gone to see her parents and all that if he wandered in.
Sorry to disappoint, guys--I was at home, although I'm in this area almost everyday.
That's because you'd rather rendition them to some foreign shit hole where CIA agents can still practice the art of torture jonny....

Shit!
Maybe next time.
I see Amis's book got slated in your neck of the woods. I can't say I was surprised.
Have a look at this. You did cross my mind when I saw it!

Of course not. No self-respecting terrorist is going to waste bullets on Canada. Terrorists don't get street-cred points for shooting Canadians, Russ.
