Could you imagine what it would look like if 41hostages and how ever many hostage takers there are standing around pointing guns at each other?

Stop now and I'll give you a case of beer, all my hanson CDs, all my hanson DVDs, AND all the VHS hanson videos.

^^^ It also wouldn't have happened if we had magical gun melting mind rays that come from sharks with laser beams on their heads.

Both are about as likely.

4/3/2009 1:26:24 PM

you would think twitter would be useful in this situation, but it's 10,000 posting the same info all at once.

Don't be childish. There ARE countries (many countries), where guns are illegal, and such things don't take place at all.

Or everyone could just accept the fact that people are different than them and it's not a bad thing to be different. Or people stop looking down their noses at others. And people stopped being selfish and greedy then people might would stop fighting and we could all be peaceful.

hostage demands in:

MOAR HANSON STUFF!

4/3/2009 1:31:30 PM

it would be foolish to think, however, that if you made guns illegal now in the US, that crime would immediately stop (because, of course, all the bad guys out there are going to submit their guns to the government just like the law abiding citizens)

I never said it would immediately stop. Maybe it will take 10 years, maybe 50. But yes, it can be done.

4/3/2009 1:34:18 PM

guns = violence

more guns = more violence

no guns = probably the same amount of violence, we're a horrible society

4/3/2009 1:34:25 PM

that was deep.

4/3/2009 1:34:54 PM

I wish every incident involving a firearm in some way didn't turn into the same tired back and forth about gun control

I wish people could continue to see the world through the eyes of a child.

4/3/2009 1:36:40 PM

a child with guns

4/3/2009 1:37:14 PM

Where the only guns are sticks and the bullets are "pow pow!"

When problems are resolved by sharing your pb&j with each other.

4/3/2009 1:39:38 PM

reportedly 2 possible suspects just escorted away from the scene... 10-15 possible hostages followed.

whenever we played cowboys and indians, i was always the chinese railroad worker

4/3/2009 1:43:01 PM

Yeah too bad people lose the innocence of a child and gain the greed and jealosuy of an adult.

4/3/2009 1:43:55 PM

I just saw them interview a bystander who said "They looked Aaaasian."

I had a laugh.

4/3/2009 1:45:05 PM

Oh my God! Oh my God! My twin brother has been shot! I think it was an Asian gang or something... There was this guy, he looked Asian... and he was speaking another language, I'm pretty sure it was... Asian.

4/3/2009 1:45:57 PM

cable guy ftw

4/3/2009 1:46:59 PM

yukuza is here. we're fucked.

4/3/2009 1:47:47 PM

Is it over yet?

4/3/2009 1:50:20 PM

THIS WOULD NOT HAPPEN IF THE BUILDING HAD A GUN

4/3/2009 1:52:56 PM

per the eyewitness on News 10 Binghamton: "It's real down there"

thanks guy

4/3/2009 1:58:43 PM

think any of the hostages are black?

/dave chappelle

4/3/2009 1:59:03 PM

IT GON RAIN

4/3/2009 1:59:17 PM

so is this guy throwing corpses out the back of the building or something? how do they already have a body count?

4/3/2009 2:00:28 PM

I heard that its "the real deal down there"

death toll = 13

4/3/2009 5:04:50 PM

my local station is saying 16 but they're never accurate.

At least the guy killed himself instead of sitting in a comfy jail

4/3/2009 5:08:59 PM

hmmm

now it says 14 dead, 4 wounded

4/3/2009 5:28:22 PM

Crazy. I want to know his reason, same with that guy who decapitated his sisters.

Why??

4/3/2009 5:32:15 PM

die and relieve your sorrow or stay alive and fight it

4/3/2009 5:36:29 PM

yeah, I don't know the reason

I'll ask Gina when she gets home. She probably has insider info. since she works at the newspaper...

4/3/2009 5:48:34 PM

Gina just told me that he was an IBM worker that had recently been let go...

4/3/2009 6:01:27 PM

Nice, so shoot up an immigrant building

4/3/2009 6:16:30 PM

He backed a vehicle up against the back door so people couldn't escape. What a chicken $hit.

4/3/2009 7:34:59 PM

i HOPE THEY ALL DIE

4/3/2009 7:39:40 PM

^^I was reading that too. They say he had connections to the civic center. From the reports coming out it sounds pretty gruesome.
