While I don’t support mass shootings in general, if someone is so far off the deep end that they’re going to throw their life away in an act of random violence, I at least hope they choose targets like Blackstone instead of a random elementary school. At least they’re smiting someone who deserves it, for once. The country would be a lot better off if we had several hundred corporate shootings and zero school shootings each year. No shooting period would be better. But if you’re going to go on a rampage, at least go after evil people first.
Thanks for the extended info. I agree about the shootings. I never understood why lone gun"men" always chose schools and Walmart parking lots. If you are crazy and want to go down guns-blazing, why not aim for the real evils of this world, the ones causing so much pain for no other reason but greed, the oligarchs and their ilk?
Weird article, the shooter was targeting the NFL, this has nothing to do with Blackstone
What are you talking about? I can see my headline might be confusing, meant to be a play on words, as he has a shady past, but the Blackrock employees were hit and injured, so it did have to do with Blackstone.
The WSJ reports that a Blackstone employee was shot in the lobby.
The WSJ says several Blackstone employees needed hospital treatment.
Fair enough. I wasn’t criticizing your title at all, I was more confused that the article made it seem like Blackstone was the target, but halfway through they mentioned that the NFL was the target
I came here to say this. Guy exited on the wrong floor, although they did injure an NFL employee during the shooting.
