    Yet another shooting..........this time someone opened fire outside the Empire State building - reporting at least 5-10 shot. Not really much info yet.

    More fuel for the fire for this thread. It will never end.

    I see nothing inappropriate about it. In fact, it is what I am thinking.

    And especially as we have had a page or so of people joking about a death by coffee mug!

    I just didn't find an implication to the OK City bombing, as a laughing matter. Must just be my stuffy old age speaking. The coffee mug references were just plain silly and it did lighten the "discussion" a bit too. Of course - JMHO.

    ETA: My apology - and I stand corrected. A pick up truck was NOT used in the OK City bombing. So I guess the pick up truck reference was acceptable and funny afterall.

    The sad part is all the wounded were apparently wounded by the bullets of police officers. We'll see, when it all is investigated fully, what the truth turns out to be.

    Every time I hear some jamoke say, after the latest shooting..."if only someone in the school/classroom/hair salon/movie theater, etc. etc. had a gun!" Here we see trained professionals who create collateral damage. When will people understand it is not like the movies...a clean shot to the head of the bad man?????. No one else is hurt and everyone is back in the next episode without so much as a limp!!!

    If the woman isn't charged, I can picture where this going.

    Don't blame this on the gun, she could have just as easily bashed his head in with a baseball bat or something!
