Othniel and Boaz are both Biblical names. He could be Jewish, Christian, or Muslim I suppose.

It could be a different guy named Othniel Bogz Askew.

Blue suit... anyone know if Hillary has changed pantsuit color recently? And turned unusually butch?

I've been watching NYC News via the net... Davis' brother was ranting that this was the fault of "white racists and black racists."

LOL, no way! Really?

Othniel Bogz Askew.

Am I the only one who read the first name as Orenthal when I saw it the first time?

It's actually Boaz instead of Bogz according to several websites.

If Davis killed the Askew, after being shot, then wouldn't this only add to the case for concealed weapons? Unfortunately, Davis died, but it appears he could have saved other lives in killing the assailant.

Now they're saying on NY1 that a member of Gifford Miller's security detail is the one who shot and killed Askew.

They neglected to tell the Mayor, the Police Commissioner, and a Councilman that came out and said the shooter escaped with his description, that the shooter had been shot and did not escape!

Can you imagine the cops neglected to tell the Police Commissioner?

Duh. The shooter was the councilman's guest.
Sorry for the goof. Spellcheck wouldn't catch that one.

As I said, different people may hear it differently, depending upon their frame of reference.

Knowing the rally is tomorrow (I have a previous committment that precludes me from making the 6 hour drive to attend) I found his comments to be rather unprofessional in that he made them based upon incorrect information and then failed to correct his error.

I will agree with you that I may have gone a bit overboard in my comments, however I did see where several anti-smokers I am familiar with on another board took his words and ran with them blaming the ignorant smokers for the shooting in NYC. And at least one of them was very disappointed to find out the information was incorrect - right before the thread was pulled.

I hope we are both now seeing eye-to-eye!!!

Thanks for the link! Makes perfect sense to me!

Looks like Councilman Davis had a concealed carry and a gun on his that he used to shoot the shooter according to Fox!

To confuse everyone, the local Fox News (according to my kid) has corrected the shooters name to Nathaniel Askew.

Clarence Askew was the shooter. Davis was a friend of Kobe Bryant apparently. Askew's name changed from Othniel Bogz Askew to Clarence Askew. I don't know why.

Really! Someone earlier provided a link. If I knew how, I'd link it again, but there's no http addy on top of it and I'm afraid I'm not aware of how to do it without one.

Can you believe I heard one NYC cop just state that was a good thing that councilman Davis had a gun at the Council meeting because his action in using the gun to shoot back at his (guest for the day) probably saved many lives of those around them in the balcony of the Council chambers.
hmmn, I wonder if that it is not a good argument for the rest of us mortals to have guns to protect ourselves from thugs.

Is there a reason you feel that people in urban centers shouldn't be allowed guns?
