Shooting at Bryant Park and at Houston House Party on Same Night

Just clumping these two horrifying stories together since they literally happened within hours of each other last night. Only two minor injuries in the Bryant Park shooting, but two deaths and 20+ injuries in Houston. I fear for our nation.

Whatever you do, don't blame the guns. They are the innocent victims in these stories. If everyone had guns at the skating rink and at the party, there would have been no shootings at all.

Headband, I heard the contrary about the Bryant Park shooting. One victim (the target) had a minor injury, but the innocent bystander, a 14 yr. old, might be paralyzed, as he was hit in the spine.

What's wrong with starting this thread, Elaine?

When a troll trolls and is called out on its effing annoying trolling, it generally chalks its trolling up to "a difference of opinion". But a troll by any other name still reeks.

That's what I heard as well Jane.

I can say that the bystander may be paralyzed for life. It's on every news outlet.

....but the world goes 'round

I still don't understand why you're upset about this being posted here, Elaine.

It's believed that the Bryant Park shooting was by a gang member who wanted an expensive coat. The coat in question has very deep pockets, supposedly to carry guns and drugs, and the manufacturer reportedly stopped making it because of the violence it was causing.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Because that's how we do it in America- if something catches our eye we are free to post it. You being Russian and only a recent visitor to our great nation you must be unaware of our mores and customs.

So is it easy for Russian family to come to America? Did you have relatives here who sponsored your visit? Or did you flee Russian and apply for Asylum here? It sounds like your family s quite well off- what do your parents do that allowed them to come to America?

Do not post about one thing if you do not post about every single other instance of such a thing.

Do not start any sort of program unless it is at full saturating capacity on the day of its roll out.

Do not try anything new unless it is perfect from the outset.

It's a philosophy to troll by.

I do not know if statistically we live in a country where there are more gun incidents than when I was a kid or if there are more gun incidents covered in the news. What I know for sure is this: if it's the former, it saddens me; if it's the latter, I am grateful.

We need to change the conversation. It feels, horribly though it may be, like it's happening.

Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.

If the 26 dead Connecticut school children couldn't bring about change, and they could not, nothing will.

Never mind 160 shootings every day in the US, we have at least one a day right here in NY. Everyone's walking around with a gun. Now they're shooting skaters. There's no safe place.

And will anything done about guns? Is anyone talking about it right now? no.
