Man With Loaded Rifle Arrested In One Penn Plaza JANUARY 01ST, 2005
Police Friday arrested a man armed with a rifle inside a building a few blocks south of Times Square.
The incident happened around 6:30 last night at One Penn Plaza, across the street from Penn Station.
Police answering a 911 call about a man with a gun inside the plaza say they found him on the 12th floor. According to the officers who made the arrest, the man had a loaded, bolt-action military rifle.
Investigators say the man worked in the building, and gave up without a struggle.

I presume you both mean Alex Wilkow (sp). If so, the kid needs to quit the talk/info business for goos and get a job that matches his talent...like pushing cell phones at the mall.
Quash this sort of stuff.
Voting from the ballot box seems to be doing just fine.
His name is Andrew, and I like his commentary but his voice grates.
I will not quash this stuff. Not on your request, or that of any other. Its nothing less than what the founders designed. See Hamilton in the Federalist #29.
That's fine, it's your marginalization.
We've been steadily improving the exercise of the RKBA (repeal of AW Ban, CCW in all but a handful of states, serious discussion of other rollbacks), we're electing Republicans like crazy -- all by simply voting in greater numbers and campaigning smarter -- and you're advocating armed rebellion?
Go for it. Pack a lunch.
Does the Great One have his own website?
Someone on the LIVE New Year's Eve thread mentioned this, they must have been watching NY news. I'll try to find it. I read it and went and told my husband but then I hadn't heard it mentioned again (though admittedly I've been away from news).
Found it (pinging oceanview, citing your post):

Different approaches. Just hold off on your Charles Whitman impression while we do our thing, 'kay?
Thanks for the comparison to a murdering psycho. And, yes I do want more than I have now in the way of Constitutional rights. What I worry about, is that we will go away from this election fat, dumb and happy and not get the job done in terms of legislative agenda and judicial appointments.
Yep, Andrew, I knew that. I can't take him at all. He's already as self-referential as Hannity with absolutely no under-pinnings to justify it. The conservative talk show host bench must be dismally shallow if this kid gets air time in NYC. Mark Simone is really good at this substitute host business....Happy New Year.
Thanks for the info. I wonder if there will be any other info about this.
It seems pretty straightforward to me and not designed to hype or instill fear. There was indeed a man arrested there with a loaded rifle. He was not at his home cleaning it as your completely unrelated fantasy scenario describes. It seems the propaganda is coming from you.
Okay. Sorry about that; that wasn't fair. But still, let's go a little easier on that harsh rhetoric until (and actually at this point, *IF*) we cannot get any progress the more peaceful way. But for now -- what a way to mess up our good progress in this arena!

I don't think we're likely to get PhatDumbAndHappy, we're more likely to really get something done this term. As an example of past successes, I give you the repeal of the AW Ban. Wonderful news by any scoring system!
Brian Whitman used to be more fun but he's gone off the deep end.
There are some great hosts around the country, be nice if we got a chance to listen to people from across America now and then.
Sean is insufferable and when he encourages callers to say he should run for President I just shake my head at his hubris.

No propaganda at all from me. Others here note the missing details (typical in this kind of reporting) even if you don't. I suggest you look here...http://www.alphecca.com/mt_alphecca_archives/000804.html
The missing details? It is a spare, straightforward report that, contrary to your "propaganda" charge, was not designed to incite panic or fear.
It's a mundane report that obviously rang your bell.
