The grad student shot in a home-invasion horror on the Upper West Side is a peace activist who hails from a small Pennsylvania town and moved to the Big Apple only last year, friends said yesterday.
Keith Whitmoyer, a 24-year-old philosophy student at the New School, is battling lung and stomach wounds in St. Luke's Hospital after Sunday's vicious attack. He was shot in front of his terrified fiancée after a thug followed her into their building on West 108th Street and pushed his way into the apartment, demanding cash.
After robbing the pair, the burglar appeared to linger, prompting Whitmoyer to ask, "Are you going to shoot me now?" The thug then pumped three bullets into him.

Note to self,...things not to say during a robbery...
As in
"Are you going to shoot me now?" BLAM BLAM BLAM "How about now? Oh, wait, you're dead."
"Are you going to shoot me now?".
The dumbest question to ask when a gun is pointed at you.
So now we are attacking the shooting victim?
Whitmoyer to ask, "Are you going to shoot me now?" The thug then pumped three bullets into him.
Perhaps he was expecting a spirited debate regarding the use of violent force in society. Or maybe he was just being snotty to the guy.
He shoulda been packing a .45.
Probably not the best question to ask an armed robber. Oops, almost forgot to add...
Bush's fault.
It's an obvious Zionist conspiracy. It must be that secret Haliburton mind control ray.
(uber sarcasm off)
"All we are sa....ying, is give peace a chance..."
Poor fool. A marine once told me that when you get shot, it hurts like h... Hot lead deep into the body just doesn't feel very good.
But the lesson he will learn from this is probably, 'We need to fight harder for gun control.' Yeah, like that's really taken guns away from criminals in Great Britain. /sarcasm.
Which restaurant do you think this waiter will work in when he gets his "degree" in philosophy?
LOL. I guess that the perp didn't believe in academic freedom. :-)
White Castle?
Hm... I wonder if he wants the police unarmed when they try to track the killer down. Nah, not even pacifists go that far, huh?
Whitmoyer and van Leeuwen are human-rights activists and volunteer with "The War Resistors League," friends said.I'm sure later he'll say this is somehow all Bush's fault. Creating a culture of violence... yadda, yadda, yadda...
Hey Liberals: Never bring a big mouth to a gun fight...
He'll probably die, and you guys are a-holes being concerned about his damn politics. How ugly and contemptable can this board get?
He's already been attacked. Just pointing out how stupid it is to taunt somebody who has a gun pointed at you.
I wonder if this victim will turn into a conservative, as in "liberal who has been mugged." Nahhh.
Once he recovers, he'll head up the campagin for Bob Kerrey as mayor of New York.
