This is my neck of the woods. Local news is reporting 2 to 4 people shot. I haven’t seen anything about anyone being killed yet.

I have Fox on in the other room, I haven’t heard them come on about this, seems like it would be breaking news. But anyway, wow, how awful! Prayers for all those affected.

If they are being held 'hostage'; then what is the demand here. . .(other than 'freedom'; given reports of deaths here).

An Asian male? Looking for his 'virgins' or what?

Can't be. The state of New York has a law banning assault rifles.

No standards anymore. If it feels good do it. Your not responsible for your own actions, the government is here to fix all your problems, etc. etc.
