So apparently there was a shooting in Binghamton, NY
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binghamton_shootings
14 dead... including the shooter
26 injured
happened this morning...
perpetrator was Jiverly Wong he was recently laid off from IBM (see EDIT3)
i guess layoffs are starting to really sink in...
EDIT: wtf is w/ the shootings recently? i nvr noticed so many shootings happen so frequently...
EDIT2: Found on Wong's body were hunting knife in the waistband of his pants; a bag of ammunition tied around his neck; and two semi-automatic pistols, a .45-caliber Beretta and a 9 millimeter Beretta matching the serial numbers on his New York State pistol license.
so they were was a legally issued guns
EDIT3: "Although early reports suggested Wong had recently lost his job at a local IBM plant in nearby Endicott, New York, IBM stated they had no records showing Wong had ever worked for the company. A woman identifying herself as his sister stated he had worked for 'the vacuum company' (Shop Vac) until it closed down."
"The incident makes a total of at least five deadly mass shootings in the United States in a one-month period."
...wow...

don't worry, black people will get it right eventually.

I find it strange that a Vietnamese immigrant decides to take out his anger at the world by shooting other immigrants.
|
Hmmm, Amber[LighT] works at IBM :O oh noes.
|
I wonder what the story behind the immigration center is
|
I dropped out of Binghamton University...
|
oh and IBM has been making a RIDICULOUS amount of layoffs. a lot of it is outsourcing hte jobs. My dad worked there for 29 and a half years before they outsourced his job and screwed him on retirement

Shitty economy = lots of layoffs = lots of jobless, depressed/pissed off people = increase in violent episodes like this

+ just made the connection between him being outsourced and the immigration center

I hadn't heard of this.. fucking terrible.
So sad that these kind of atrocities still occur. Yeah your life sucks.. why hurt so many innocent people? So fucked up.

I got laid off about a week ago, 2 months into a 6 month contract. White and Asian male software engineers are screwed. I wish I was a black woman.

Because their life sucks, they're pissed off and they don't give a fuck anymore

But you DO give a fuck to give the effort to kill other people. Not caring would be doing nothing, being indifferent.. caring about something would be killing people.
It isn't like the only thing stopping us from killing people is that we care not to kill people. I'd argue there is a lot that goes into that.. this person somehow became inverted on those feelings, those inhibitions and he went the extra psychotic step of killing many people he has no association with.
it is fucked up.. not a cliche.. LITERALLY fucked up.
