Just an opinion, if many more things happen like this train platform shooting of a young guy, who appeared to be handcuffed, and the cop walks away with a slap on the wrist, it will become a war with civilians against police. Kind of in this manner, you kill one of ours, we'll kill 10 of yours.
An unfortunate, but very possible reality.

Of course its another nut from Hartford....i'm just wondering how much worse things could have turned out if he actually reached his destination?

There weren't any details so i'm guessing it was probably a SMG, you know how the media always messes up the important little details like that. If it goes bang more then once, its instantly a "Machine Gun"

Kind of like Greece. If I'm not mistaken, people did protest and cause property damage, over the BART thing, or the New Orleans one. Unfortunately, it'll be a while until Americans get their balls and brains back and destroy the right property.

What is the right property? My house or yours?

This whole thing is pretty scary. My house is in New Paltz, which is not that far from Albany. The NYS Thruway seems to attract this kind of thing. A few years ago there was a shoot out near Newburgh when a guy from the Bronx got into a beef with somebody on the highway.

I was scared for my wife when I left to go to WV and had to leave her in the house up there by herself. Good thing she is Southern and can handle a 12 gauge

That's exactly my point. If you have a problem with the government, wouldn't it make sense to go after government property? I never understood the "march through your own neighborhood setting things on fire" mentality. I actually think more can be accomplished at this point through peaceful means but, time is quickly running out.

So you are saying that this guy is justified in opening up on a cop?
Errr right!
