Shooting Leaves at Least 12 Dead; Up to 40 Taken Hostage in New York
April 3rd, 2009At least one person opened fire in a Binghamton, New York, building Friday morning, killing at least 12 or 13 people, according to Gov. David Patterson, and holding up to 40 more hostage. One gunman was also killed, according to law enforcement. “This is a horrible situation. There’s no available data on what’s going on there other than the fact that lives have been lost,” said Gov. Peterson, reports CNN. More than 12 were wounded in the gun fire, according to preliminary reports. The shooting took place at the American Civic Association, a place that assists immigrants, while people were taking a citizenship test, a source told the Associated Press. SWAT team sharpshooters are positioned outside of the building and the FBI plans to send in hostage negotiators. A nearby high school has been put on lockdown. Story developing.

It is rather easy to type a name and email and make a post in an attempt to make others believe it is the real person. The site does not require a log in or password. Did UMlaw write the first post? I don’t know. I know it has been done to me on more than a few occasions.
I know umyuk wrote it he’s always expressed his love for AA’s
Wow…where do you get your facts to say ”we” commit 90% of the crimes…?UMlaw, you should get more education. The news posted above has nothing to do with race. Anybody can be a model nowadays not that I have something against Asians but you shouldnt judge people by their color.
where’s my comment BET? you allow racists to post nonsense on here, but you delete comments that are not offensive?
UMLAW, explain why white people commit more mass murders, school killings, and white collar crimes? I bet you cant explain why.
Blacks are 90% of looters , rapists , killers
I actually live in Binghamton where this happened and im sure i speak for everyone here when i say this was totally unexpected for the most part its a quiet town and no major crimes committed such as this one as for the racist remarks on here you should keep your thoughts to yourself and not state false statistics unless you have proof that they commit 90% of crimes keep your mouth shut and finally my thoughts go out to the families of the victims
Lee: First of all, i did not write the first comment on here with my name on it. As all the regular bloggers on here know, there are some that like to take the cowardice stance and use other people’s name and write stuff…just so he/she can get a nasty remark from the other bloggers against the false name. He/she is spineless, and doesn’t have the mental capacity to argue with his/her brain.
In regards to your inquiry, that is because of simple math. Are you good at math? Well, there is this thing called proportion. There are an exponentially greater amount of Whites than Blacks (or any other race) in America. So, there naturally will be more Whites in jail (barely more than Blacks…this in and of itself is ridiculous), on welfare, etc, etc. BUT if you compare all the races in the US proportionally, or in a per capita sense, the crime rate, and lack of education within the Black community is astonishing. That’s just fact. Do your research and get back to me.
If your not black and don’t interact with African Americans on a positive everyday basis then you don’t know a thing about us..Whites have ruined this country and still whine about how there different from everyone else..I’m from Texas and from what I see out here in this world..It is much better to be black these days in America..There’s not many African Amercians wanting to be white but It’s plenty of people trying to be black…African Amercians are on the rise that’s why we have the most HATERS IN THE WHOLE USA !!! UMLAW UR A HATER IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD !!!! UMLAW UR THE #1 HATER ..
UMLAW is a RACIST A.S.S.HOLE ON HERE TALKING ABOUT HOW UNEDUCATED AND VIOLENT BLACKS ARE. YOU KEEP SAYING SOMEBODY USING YOUR NAME THEN YOU GO RIGHT BACK TO TYPING THEM LIES ABOUT BLACKS. YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF GARBAGE.

wat is wrong with ppl.
i am black but the guy being asian has nothing to do with race or where he came from. We should blame him and not all asians. this is just not about race
it is evident that we are coming to our last and evil days on this earth. people don’t be blinded by the devil evil spirit lerking around us all. we as a nation should not consider the man’s race as a factor because that does not matter. peoples lives were lost because of one person acting on emotions. we as a nation need to come together whether than try to justify that man’s actions, based on race. people committ crimes not one particular race. people please open your eyes and hearts and close your mouth if you only want to hurt. like it says in the bible… the smallest part of the body, the tongue, is the deadliest part of the body. it hurts, and kills the spirits of other. may GOD have pity on our souls.
WOW! Noone can really can really speak on what race kills ,because someone out of all races have murdered &90% isnt BLACK I myself would say that its 50% of everyones race look @ CHO with the killings @ V-Tech he wasnt BLACK? whats wrong with people today think about the LIFES th@ were taking not the race! it is what it is dont blame on a color cause that has nothing to do with all the LIVES th@ have been taken
This is the very first time I’ve ever been on this blog. I am a African American woman and I am very proud of my race. I know racism does still exist but, to think how ignorant people are. It’s time for all Americans to recognize that we as a people are steadily progessing despite the statics of crime and poverty. The white man still wants to keep us down and what a shame. Just remember we will rise again. Obama all the way!!!!!
