'black', MAYbe 'Mex' ... carrying some kind of military-
looking long-gun.
Reportedly he shot some cops, and some others in a
big-biz office building then went up in another
building and allegedly shot himself.
27 year old perp from Vegas - no known link to NYC.
The photo of the perp, looked to be 'walking with
purpose'. Rifle right out in the open.
Hints this was 'targeted' - went to a specific floor
in the office building. Photos show people in some
offices putting up huge barricades at the doors.
Don't THINK it's an Iran/Hamas thing - they would
be unlikely to kill themselves after the fact, more
likely to explode and take 50 others with them.
Don't expect suicide from a cartel member either,
blaze-of-glory is the macho thing.
In any case, a good segment of Midtown was evacuated
except for tons of cops and FBI.

Welcome to NYC where the libbys claim crime is down.
They fail to understand how crime reporting is being
massaged.

The gunman is described as a former NFL football player and the
headquarters of the NFL is in the building on the 33rs floor where the
gunman is reported to have killed himself by gunshot to the head.

Shane Tamura ... that's the name.
Doesn't look big enough to be NFL however.
Update is that the three civvies also died. There
may be one or two more, but no reports of death.
You gotta wonder why a man who allegedly shot himself would first put on >>> a bullet proof vest.
This kind of crap is going to increase in incidents.
And it doesn't always have to be some terrorist from the middle east.
The world has gone crazy.
Every time I travel to NYC I am very nervous and have my head on
a swivel.
I also carry my Byrna in my clutch.
His "manifesto" sez he was SURE the NFL was
somehow indirectly responsible for his mental
problems. MIGHT have had something to do with
youth football, or maybe he went nuts on his own.
He shot himself in the heart, asking some docs
to study his brain.
Oh, a Bren-10 will work better than a little
stun gun :-)

Of course "pothole" doesn't have a citation for that. He never has a

This site ranks 300 cities in the world for safety: https://ceoworld.biz/2025/05/12/ranked-safest-cities-in-the-world-2025/
I have no idea how the scores are determined, but they say this:
Some cities around the world have higher crime rates than others,
which can dampen your travel experience. However, many urban areas
are safe to visit or stay in, allowing you to enjoy the sights,
sounds, and culture of your chosen destination with peace of mind.
The world’s safest cities boast low crime rates, making them ideal
for both tourists and residents. Factors such as strong law
enforcement, security measures, and stable governments contribute
to the high safety levels in these cities.
NYC currently ranks 206 out of 300, with a safety score of 67.72. Here
are the top 10:
1 Abu Dhabi United Arab Emirates 97.73
2 Taipei Taiwan 97.5
3 Doha Qatar 97.35
4 Ajman United Arab Emirates 97.04
5 Dubai United Arab Emirates 97.03
6 Ras al-Khaimah United Arab Emirates 96.98
7 Muscat Oman 96.93
8 The Hague (Den Haag) Netherlands 96.89
9 Bern Switzerland 96.79
10 Munich Germany 96.67
There is no fucking way NYC could fall from "safest large city in the
world" to #206, especially given that NYC is unquestionably much safer
now than it was in the past. There's a reason we got so many movies
about crime in NYC in the 1970s: it really *was* a dangerous city then.

*Large City*
Currently SLC is the 46th-largest population city in the USA.
NYC is #1 although that is likely to be revised down as people and
business continue to flee that cesspool.
Point is, Guiliani's policies cleaned up a city that was a disaster. Bloomberg maintained most if not all of Guilani's policies and
things remained much the same.
Enter Marxist DeBlasio and his corrupt wife and NYC went to hell
in a hand basket.
And Adams despite his recent "say anything to get elected" campaign is
much like DeBlasio.
BTW since you seem to ride the NYC subways, here are 2 tips for you:
1. When waiting on the platform stand with your back to one of the
vertical iron girders supporting the station. And of course never go near
the edge of the platform until the train arrives and is stopped.
2. Choose either the car the conductor is in or a car that has a decent number of people in it and NEVER choose an end seat near a door nor stand nearOf course, not having objects openly available is too. But what do I

*Large City*
Currently SLC is the 46th-largest population city in the USA.
SLC was merely on the "safest cities" list that was posted.
NYC is #1 although that is likely to be revised down as people and
business continue to flee that cesspool.
Point is, Guiliani's policies cleaned up a city that was a disaster.
Bloomberg maintained most if not all of Guilani's policies and
things remained much the same.
Enter Marxist DeBlasio and his corrupt wife and NYC went to hell
in a hand basket.

Key word *felony*.
Have you checked other types of crimes?
More than you have.
Have you checked DA policies for routinely downgrading charges far
more often than
typical?
Have you checked perps who were released multiple times due to soft on
crime
policies only to commit even more crimes?
More than you have.
It's a revolving door.
NYC is a dangerous zoo.
Terrified suburban attitude...
BTW since you seem to ride the NYC subways, here are 2 tips for you:
Seems that I'm riding them more frequently than you've been.
1. When waiting on the platform stand with your back to one of the
vertical iron girders supporting the station. And of course never go
near
the edge of the platform until the train arrives and is stopped.
That's one approach. I have another that's more effective.
So do I..........

You should follow that advice.I can't even recall the last time that
I've had any real problem on the
I've already mentioned, but that's not "crime". A quick $18 taxi solved
the immediate need (appointment not missed), but that's still quite a

I never heard anywhere that it was the "safest" city.
However it's been a lot safer than it is now.
