Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

Try living in a city that had people slam two jetliners into your tallest landmarks, killing thousands, and subsequently have the National Guard with M-16s everywhere, subway and landmark closings every few days on terrorist threats, and being a world-recognized target as an icon of American capitalism. Then you might be on edge when **** like this happens, too.

Just because you and you're fellow city-livers are stupid enough to panic doesn't mean that we should feel sympathy towards you.

And so,
by shooting the Councilman,
he gives people much more reason to pass stricter laws concerning firearms.

Was he anti-gun? (or pro-gun control or whatever)

If so it seems like a pretty idiotic way to protest about his stance on the issue. Just confirms everything he was saying, no? Oh well ... criminals are dumb.

Dang! Give Boris a break! A guy is upset because part of his city gov't gets gunned down. If I lived in New York I would be paranoid as hell also. What other city has had 2000 people murdered and the murders organization still around. Wouldn't you be a little gun shy? Hussein's kids killed yesterday and New York officials murdered today and the murderer still at large. No he's just paranoid...bullsh1t. I'd be in a foul mood to.

Oh YES, the SECOND I heard the news I RAN into the STREETS, screaming at the top of my lungs "IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD!!!!!"



Jesus **** me with a chainsaw Christ, all I said was I wasn't in the mood to make jokes about it! Who're the folks going to extremes here?

The gunman had been challenging him to the seat, but by all reports had given up on that.

Apparently, he walked in with the councilman, past the security checkpoint, but not through the metal detector, since government officials (and their guests?) don't have to go through. At least they didn't -- that's been changed, effective immediately.
