Don't be silly. You know only us white devils can commit hate crimes!

This sort of thing just drives me nuts. There was no one to stop him! Gee, do the anti-gunners every stop to ask themselves why this sort of thing doesn't happen in places like, oh say, Reno, NV? These places are nothing but free-fire zones for criminals, with lots of victims milling around. Makes me sick.

In a land of sheep, even a toothless wolf is king.

...what Police Commissioner Ray Kelly described as a "very bizarre crime by this deranged individual."

There you have it. Temporary insanity. No "hate crime" enhancement. A couple years of psychiatric confinement, then released so he can attack more people deprived of the right to self-defense. Rather than demand their RKBA, New Yorkers will scream for more police protection. So Mayor B will hire more of them and then tie their hands. Business as usual in Gotham.

So...who shot back?

Someone with a gun.

"Armed Man Shoots Three in Manhattan"

Is this a redundancy?...I.e., could an unarmed man shoot anybody?...

I mean, for sheer tastiness in headline-writing, this comes nowhere near Headless Body Found in Topless Bar or Speech Gets Urologist in Trouble With His Peers or like that.

Oh I hate it when you beat me to it like that!

[Norman Conquest]

Two women... Veloce, an East Village bar on Second Avenue... gunman's wife recently died of AIDS... More than a few gaps to be filled in in this story.

Here is the headline that should be used.

Racist BlackMan shoots White People in New York

N E W Y O R K, June 16 —

Bump to that - This better be in the news longer than the dragging story.

When Johnson pulled out the lighter, two Manhattan women jumped him...

Freeper Babes?

Not exactly. More likely bull daggers in that neighborhood.

Thanks for the ping -- we'll just have to see what we can do about that.
