I labeled 2 locations.. the location of the shooting rampage and the location of the high school, where my nephew spent the day on lock down. It’s crazy to think that this happened in Binghamton. I mean, I’m not naive enough to think that it couldn’t happen, but when you hear about shootings like this, it’s usually in a larger city or near one. It just shakes you up to think that it happened this close to ‘home’. Imagine if it had been noon, the students at BHS would have been out and about, since they are allowed to leave campus for lunch. Imagine if it had been before or after school hours. It could have been so much worse in so many ways.

I’m just stunned at everything that happened today, and it makes me wonder what kind of problems this person had to sit down and plan this. It was planned, they know that from the fact that he intentionally blocked the only other door to get out of the building. What kind of things go through the heads of these people and why had no one figured out that something was wrong with him. There had to be signs, but no one saw them, apparently.

14 senseless deaths, including the gunman, but it could have been so much worse. There should have been so many others. It could have been everyone in the building or it could have been anyone on the street. It could always be worse.

Things like this do NOT happen in Binghamton NY! Seriously.

Shooting in Binghamton
LOCAL News Report From WBNG
Binghamton shooting leaves a dozen dead @ Press Connects

Two men taken out in handcuffs and put in police cars, dozens of people are exiting the building.
At 3 p.m., Binghamton Police Chief Joseph Zikuski said no one taken from the building is a suspect, including two men who were removed in plastic handcuffs. A report of a man fleeing the building was false, Zikuski said.

My nephew is locked down just a short distance from this shooting. He’s safe, we know this for sure, but whoa… just… whoa.
Officials: Binghamton City Schools which were in lockdown are now dismissing students; people in other buildings also allowed to leave.

Hugh Jackman a departure from recent Oscar hosts – Yahoo! News.

LOS ANGELES – He sings, dances, acts on stage and screen, and he’s the “Sexiest Man Alive.” Hugh Jackman does everything but standup comedy — and that’s why the first-time Oscars host fulfills the academy’s promise to shake up the show in a way that’s as tough to predict as the winners.

Having Jackman host certainly fits with that theme.

Obama calls for Illinois governor to resign.

You know, I have to say, he should have already resigned. His resignation should have been immediate after he got arrested. It wasn’t a false arrest, he doesn’t even deny that he’s an idiot.

I just hope that it doesn’t come out that Obama had any part of the corruption. I don’t think that he was involved, but I’m afraid that he will be implicated since it was his former Senate seat that was suddenly for sale.

It’s sad what the world of politics has come to now. There is absolutely no excuse for it to be such a corrupted mess. But it does reinforce the point that there are problems with the government that need to be worked out. There needs to be a better system in place so that things like this don’t happen in the future.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, our government is one giant, screwed up, mess.
