The city's name is spelled Binghamton, not Binghampton.

ehh. i feel like we're in the middle of a wave of immigrant hatred. have people always been this hostile towards immigrants?

Reports say the shooter is Asian-American. And was taken alive? That's a nice change. (the being taken alive, I donut care about his ethnicity)

Oh...thank you N.R.A.

It appears he shot himself at the scene, actually.

Binghamton?

That's where Tony Kornheiser went to college!

Tony Kornheiser is one bald-headed prick, I'll tell ya.

My dad lives in that town. I've been there a few times and each time it leaves a worse impression on me.

A decaying, jobless town devoid of spirit, culture and interest. That is to say, it seemed beyond hope.

Uhm, last I checked, the NRA was against the batshit crazy owning guns and killing people with them.

Anyone want to bet that this place was a "gun free zone?"
