When seconds count, the police are only minutes away.

It sounds like a lot of the people who were wounded were shot by the cops by accident.

Doesn't sound like the usual mass shooting. He appears to have been after one guy, and shot him. Then the police found him and a gun fight ensued. I guess the questions is, should police have confronted him with so many people around, or just followed him, etc. Hard to say. I wouldn't second-guess the cops just yet. With extra ammo he obviously thought he might need it. There ar a TON of cops on the street in Downtown Manhattan. You will see more in an hour than you will see in Calgary in 6 months.

Yup. Looks like those gun laws are really working well.

Why are you quoting me, and adding that statement? Both threads are about the same incident. Both sources (including your own post) reference the Empire State Building.


Your posts continue to baffle and amaze me.

I didnt label it ESB since the building wasnt used as a sniper tower or anything specific in this particular incident.

Plus I quoted ya cause you said like it was a bad thing. I was just more or less referencing the fact that so often lately these idiots are taking out larger groups of people.

I mean what can be done to prevent these mass murders?
Are we missing something?

My personal thoughts on mass murder is that as a society we have such high expectations and people snap when they can't keep up with the Jones's. But surely there are other reasons and there has got to be a solution out there that doesn't punish responsible, respectful citizens or gun owning citizens.
