Bad economic numbers today, also.

The suspect left several large capacity magazines. I wonder if it is a large capacity in New York terms (larger than 6) or large in our definition, 30 or more which might have a tendency to mess up.

Angry man with mental issues.

A troubled man who railed against Mayor Adams and made bizarre threatening rants on YouTube has been identified as a person of interest in the savage Brooklyn subway attack that injured at least 23 people Tuesday morning, officials said.

Frank James — who warned last month that he was “entering the danger zone” — rented a U-Haul van tied to the N train attack in Sunset Park and is being sought for questioning, police said at an evening briefing.

“Mr. Mayor, I’m a victim of your mental health program,” James said in one lengthy video.
The only options James could find, he claimed, was to commit more violence or become a criminal.

“And so the message to me is: I should have gotten a gun, and just started shooting motherf—ers,” he said.
The key to James’ van was found at the scene of the crime, as was a credit card that rented the vehicle out of Philadelphia, cops and law-enforcement sources said.

Cops believe that James was living out of the U-Haul van because his clothing and personal care products were inside.
The gunman had been on the run for hours before police uncovered a crucial clue: the van, which had Arizona plates and was located on West Third Street near Kings Highway late Tuesday afternoon, sources said.

Police have launched a massive manhunt for the shooter and revealed that surveillance cameras at the Sunset Park subway station were not working at the time of the assault. Law enforcement sources told The Post that the cameras tend to go out “from time to time.”

I call B.S. on this. NOBODY can get a parking spot on West Third Street without inside information and help from Sleepy Joe. :twisted: /sarc

I'm now seeing reporting that the gun he used was purchased in a Columbus, Ohio pawnshop in 2011.That means that at that time he passed a background check.
But he would have had to be an Ohio resident, unless the pawnshop transferred it to an FFL in New York, right?

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) Sometimes called anti-depressants.
Some link the use of these chemicals to mass shootings.

The media says "mental health" but they mean medicated to the point of a broken filter.

Yes, these mis-medicated souls then become the basis for a "public safety/health EMERGENCY" where the normal rules no longer apply.

This applies to RKBA and 2A because the State first generates the problem (by allowing these drugs on the market and regulating various professions) then decides the best way forward is to “Control your soul’s desire for freedom”

I heard a report that he had multiple jams with the various extended mags he had. Extended mags are a target of the anti gun crowd but if someone wanted to get technical, in this case (and a few others) if the suspect had been using politically correct standard capacity magazines that actually functioned well in the gun, more people might've been injured or even killed. So in this case his use of bad extended mags might've actually saved lives. :roll:
