A disgruntled worker stalked a colleague down a Midtown street, shot him dead and then turned his weapon on random pedestrians outside the Empire State Building — killing at least one innocent bystander and shooting up to seven others before he was cut down by a cop on foot patrol, sources told The Post.

The gunman followed his victim down 33rd Street before opening fire outside Legend’s Bar. the sources said.
With his target dead, he then headed over to the Empire State Building and did the unthinkable — unleashing a fusillade of shots in the heart of the morning rush on a street loaded with pedestrrans.

A member of the “Pink Pistols”, perhaps?
Gay rage?
Apparently, they aren’t saying much about the shooting anymore already. Must have been a Lib...
Daily Telegraph in UK is reporting that the other wounded may have been hit by stray bullets from the responding Police officers.
“Daily Telegraph in UK is reporting that the other wounded may have been hit by stray bullets from the responding Police officers.”
I would almost bet on it, NY cops have no trigger control, I remember on incident where they shot an unarmed guy 72 times or rather shot at him 72 times, don’t remember how many times that they actually hit the guy. If the perp had a .45 he’s got around 8 shots, most cops carry high-cap magazines with 15 shots so the likelihood is that cops were wildly spraying and praying (most likely from cover so that their aim was even worse than normal but at least THEY were not at risk). Should make cops go back to a 6 shooter .38 special so they’re more careful about shot placement.

As President Obama says regarding his drone missile strikes that usually kill a few by standers in addition to the targeted terrorist: “One has to accept a little colateral damage.”
Colt .45 Auto. Five rounds into the victim, maybe one round fired at the officers, two rounds remianing in the gun.
The spray of gunshot against other unarmed pedestrians came from New York's Finest.
There were reports that bystanders were injured by police
bullets: police should know better than firing into a crowd!
More than just reports. The head of the NYPD has fessed up that all bystander injuries were caused by police bullets.
“New York (CNN) — All nine people injured in Friday’s shooting in front of the Empire State Building were wounded by police gunfire, New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly told reporters Saturday.”

There’s an awful lot of guns out there...
Hehehe, you bet yer sweet bippy there are Bloomberg...
Bloomberg and these other hoplophobes do not have the courage to face those of us who will not give them up, at least not face to face...
Therefore, they sytematically breed the fear and hate of inatimate objects into the fabric of our young, until the mear sight of a gun is enough to instill doom and gloom amoung even the older folks around us, who are indifferent to the overall issue...
Our originalist culture of freedom is being bread out of us, and it is unlikely we will be allowed to recover...
So it is once again time for the inevitable, personal, gut-check question of the millenium...
So just keep the answer to yourself, no need to boast or pontificate your answer in a public forum...But ask yourself this question...
“What are you prepared to do about it? And, what are you prepared to sacrifice to see it through?”
They are not going to give up removing the one thing that keeps THEM at bay, so therefore, what is the hard lesson they need to learn???
Just saw this post...hehehe
A line from the movie Undercover Brother...
I’M NOT A SISSYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!”
You got to sit through this one to understand how funny all that was...
