I'm thinking something along those lines as well...he's desperate, nothing to lose so why not take a few more people out with him when he goes down, right? (I know, morbid thoughts..)

I wonder if the shooter came in with the Councilman or another Council member. The public go through metal detectors, but the Council members may not have to.

Disarming people doesn't work. All it does is create criminal empowerment zones, where the perp is safer. If people there were armed, the creap would likely be dead already, instead of escaped.

Exactly. Even in City Hall, where there are surely police about, one's own safety is only one's own responsibility.

Getting away is the surprise for me... I am not surprised bad guys can get in.... but I would have expected that they would not get back out.

Re: 292

Interesting...

"Othniel Boaz Agnew" appears as a candidate in this undated, google cached site:

http://216.109.117.135/search/cache?p=%22Othniel+Boaz+Askew&ei=UTF-8&url=J5FAbCvqJGwJ:www.gothamgazette.com/searchlight/council.candidates.2003.shtml

HOWEVER, his name is omitted in the same site, updated July 14, 2003. What happened? (See District 35)

I was held up at gun-point one time and I described the gun to the policeman. I said silver because I was referring to the color. In the aftermath of that horrible event, I really just tried to spit out the color of the gun as I saw it. The policeman patiently explained to me that silver guns were very rare and I was really ticked. I knew what I saw. I described color; he meant material. I assume that is what is happening here.

Probably not or it would have been reported by now.

One, Napoleon Solo, CHILL OUT...Travis is right. NYPD will get him, but our gun laws well, suck! We need CCW here and frankly, it's sad an armed citizen wasn't able to make this jerk assume room temp.

Two, I was here on 9/11 too, and I lost family. Not playing any sort of card, but we all face the specter of more from Al-Q. So everybody, put away the pity party.

Three, I am listening to 770AM, according to Sliwa, they saw Mr. Davis's opponent in the last election was speaking with Mr. Davis just before the Schumer hit the fan...The election, was by both Sean and Sliwa, "bitter". I don't know guys, but this sounds like the mother of all workplace violence.

Mayor said on a crawler: "It's not terrorism, it's democracy." What a stupid statement.

If he had been a Republican, the media would have announced that before releasing the info on the color of his suit.
