The gunman who killed four people before turning the gun on himself, identified as 27-year-old Shane Tamura, was trying to target the National Football League headquarters, NYC Mayor Eric Adams said Tuesday. Investigators believe Tamura mistakenly took the wrong elevator, leading him to Rudin Management instead, Adams told NewsNation local affiliate WPIX. Tamura reportedly had a three-page suicide note inside his pocket, which claimed he had a brain injury from a contact sport and blamed the NFL. Tamura, who played high school football, reportedly wanted his brain studied after his death. An official motive has not yet been released.

Comments:

Who knows what the gunman was thinking but shooting up an office wasn't going to solve anything.

There are as many reasons as there are crazy shooters. Only one thing is common and predictable. Shrill cries for banning firearms and bypassing the Second Amendment and blaming Republicans.

He was reported to have been a standout running back in high school but so far no record of anything involving the NFL. But when one has a brain injury due to any cause, their thinking can be very flawed. Beyond our understanding.

FTA: “New York has some of the strongest gun laws in the nation. We banned assault weapons. We strengthened our Red Flag Law. We closed dangerous loopholes,” Hochul said. “But our laws only go so far when an AR-15 can be obtained in a state with weak gun laws and brought into New York to commit mass murder.” Predictably, Hochul made a stupid remark. Hochul shouldn’t be so predictable.

Re #7, Ms. Hochul should be alarmed that under her administration her state is so poorly policed that a man can stroll through the heart of it's most important business district carrying a fully loaded AR-15 without arousing any official curiosity.

As Dennis Miller once said: “You can’t save everybody. Sometimes, the best you can do is not be standing next to them when they go off.” Typical nutcase. Wanted to shoot up the office of the NFL, but got off the elevator on the wrong floor….

An aside: At the top of the column is another terrifying warning. FTA: "Graphic Warning: This story contains graphic topics that may be disturbing." If there is anyone still shocked by what's happening in our cities almost daily, it must be very dark where their head is.

And re: #9, A firearm? Didn't NYC recently have an illegal alien torch and burn alive an innocent subway rider? Illegals are also some of the worst criminals walking her streets yet she welcomes them into NY. The question to ask, is she just parroting the left's talking points or is she just stupid?

CANBERRA - Several towns in eastern Australia were blanketed with their thickest layer of snow in decades as wild weather swept the area this weekend, causing floods, stranding vehicles and cutting power to thousands of homes, authorities said. A cold air front dropped as much as 40 cm (16 inches) of snow on parts of northern New South Wales on Saturday, the most since the mid-1980s, said Miriam Bradbury, a meteorologist at Australia's weather bureau. Snow also settled in areas of the neighbouring state of Queensland for the first time in 10 years, she said. Bradbury said climate change has made

Loni Anderson, who starred as the shrewd radio station receptionist Jennifer Marlowe on WKRP in Cincinnati before her fairy-tale marriage to and acrimonious divorce from Burt Reynolds kept her uncomfortably in the tabloids, died Sunday. She was 79. A two-time Emmy nominee, Anderson died in Los Angeles following “an acute prolonged illness,” publicist Cheryl J. Kagan announced. The Minnesota native also portrayed doomed Hollywood sex sirens in two telefilms: 1980’s The Jayne Mansfield Story — alongside an untested Arnold Schwarzenegger as her second husband, Mickey Hargitay — and 1991’s White Hot: The Mysterious Murder of Thelma Todd.

The Senate voted on Saturday to confirm former Fox News host and prosecutor Jeanine Pirro as U.S. Attorney for Washington DC. The vote was along party lines, 50-45, with Senators Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., Roger Wicker, R-Miss., Peter Welch, D-Vt., and Reuben Gallego D-Ariz., not voting. Pirro had been serving as interim U.S. attorney for DC since May, after Trump appointed her to replace conservative activist Ed Martin as the top federal prosecutor in Washington.

Pete Buttigieg has been quietly making the rounds on an early 2028 tour after having announced that he would sit out races for governor and senator in 2026. In October, Buttigieg will speak at the Michigan Democratic Party’s “Best of the West” event, a prime swing-state spot for a presidential hopeful.

CHICAGO — Former President Joe Biden expressed alarm Thursday about attacks on the rule of law and threats to civil rights under President Donald Trump in some of his most pointed criticism about the new administration since leaving office. Biden, speaking to the National Bar Association in Chicago, did not mention Trump by name but his intended target was clear during remarks that only ran about 20 minutes. “You can’t sugarcoat it. These are dark days,” Biden told the crowd of nearly 1,100 members of the predominantly Black legal organization. The remarks echoed, at least in tone, some of his

When former Vice President Kamala Harris announced that she would not be running for California governor, she appeared to leave the door open to another shot at the White House in 2028. However, the real Democratic contender to watch is not Harris. Rather – implausible as it may seem to some – New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appears to be the front-runner for Democrats’ 2028 presidential nomination, should she forgo a Senate campaign, which she would almost certainly win.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) is declaring “war” on Republicans over plans in Texas proposing a new congressional map, likely resulting in five pickups for the GOP. Hochul ranted about President Donald Trump and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R), deeming the governor a “co-conspirator” and asserting that they both are eroding democracy and “drag[ging] us toward authoritarianism.” “Now what Texas and Republican states are doing at the direction of Donald Trump, I say, is nothing short of a legal insurrection against our capital,” she said. “Legal meaning, they’re using the legal process — [it] does not mean it’s legal, and it must be stopped.”

As expected, Texas Democratic legislators have fled the state to deny a quorum for Gov. Greg Abbott's redistricting push. The members flew to Illinois on Sunday, which qualifies as peak irony given that the blue state is arguably the most gerrymandered in the country. This plan was reportedly hatched with Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL), and the 30 odd Democrats will spend at least a week there. Given what we saw when they did this in 2021, denying a quorum for an election reform vote, there is no doubt a lot of grandstanding, dramatics, and cringe singing on the way.

Recently, a large group of black youths began pummeling white adults in downtown Cincinnati. The original altercation apparently broke out between a black and white male in he-said/he-said fashion. But that dispute soon turned into a virtual free-for-all. Numerous male and female black youths sucker-punched a middle-aged woman. Others continued to kick or body slam the victims. There were many disturbing aspects to the beat-downs. One, the violence broke out along racial and age fault lines. After the initial dispute, groups of black youths swarmed solitary older white bystanders to pound them. Two, the surrounding assembled group of black youths not only failed to intervene to restrain the bullies.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided to order a full military occupation of the Gaza Strip to force Hamas to free the hostages, according to local reports. The expansion of the war would see the military, which already controls about 75% of Gaza, take over the remaining areas and conduct operations where the hostages are believed to be held, the Jerusalem Post reported. The move was reportedly made without the input of the Israeli military’s chief of staff Eyal Zamir — with Netanyahu instructing him to fall in line or resign, according to the internal memo sent out.

The interview, broadcast by the Qatar-based network over the weekend, featured Hamad brazenly celebrating what he characterized as the diplomatic benefits of Hamas’s brutal attack that killed over 1,200 Israelis and took hundreds hostage.
