Plainfield man killed in driveby shooting, city's second homicide in a week

Man wounded in drive-by shooting, shooter at larg

http://www.firstcoastnews.com/story/news/crime/2014/09/18/man-shot-driveby/15827937/

Where's the all out manhunt?
Where's the national attention?
Where's the EAS alerts?

Anyone who will shoot two cops has nothing to lose and will kill anyone who gets in his way.

How is this any different from someone who goes around in a vehicle gunning down random people. It happens all the time in this country.

Why is a cop's death given special treatment?

"Shelter In Place Warning" EAS Alert issued in regards to the Eric Frein problem in Penn. [View all] AverageJoe90 Sep 2014 OP

Is there a cross post in the PA group? nt littlemissmartypants Sep 2014 #1

Yes, here: AverageJoe90 Sep 2014 #4

Some background: NYC_SKP Sep 2014 #2

I would be very worried if I were in that area. cwydro Sep 2014 #3

"Shelter in place"? Boreal Sep 2014 #5

Well unless you want to shot by a murderer yeoman6987 Sep 2014 #7

Yes, and cops weren't the only ones on his list. His dad said he wanted to commit mass murder. freshwest Sep 2014 #10

I am stunned by some of the comments yeoman6987 Sep 2014 #12

Thank you yeoman. cwydro Sep 2014 #13

So, why don't you go help cwydro Sep 2014 #9

That's your response? Boreal Sep 2014 #14

So what would you do? cwydro Sep 2014 #17

The police should Boreal Sep 2014 #20

Listen, not sure what you are not getting here. cwydro Sep 2014 #24

So in Compton, if the police are chasing down an armed suspect Algernon Moncrieff Sep 2014 #49

Eliminate the police, mandate everyone has a gun, or call these guys to take care of it: freshwest Sep 2014 #30

Lol. cwydro Sep 2014 #33

Uh, don't think they'd qualify... But what do I know? What I DO KNOW IS: freshwest Sep 2014 #42

Except the murderer is a guy just like one of those. Except he is an expert shot. appleannie1 Sep 2014 #43

If the whole gang of them shot at once, accuracy wouldn't matter, would it? freshwest Sep 2014 #45

I read that the owners are out of town. I certainly hope so. appleannie1 Sep 2014 #46

I hope so, too. And that he doesn't choose suicide. I think life in prison might help. Maybe. freshwest Sep 2014 #47

Don't be silly. Brigid Sep 2014 #21

You're telling people to ignore EAS warnings. You're a fucking idiot. NuclearDem Sep 2014 #37

Bingo. cwydro Sep 2014 #53

Do you go outside in a hurricane when a warning is issued? randome Sep 2014 #50

I did when the eye of Katrina passed right over the house Aerows Sep 2014 #57

LOL, so cops do no wrong? nt Logical Sep 2014 #16

What should they be doing right now? cwydro Sep 2014 #19

No, what cop haters are you talking about? nt Logical Sep 2014 #28

Doesn't sound like they even try will take him alive. nt TeamPooka Sep 2014 #22

Good chance this is a suicide by cop situation, I think. Brigid Sep 2014 #25

It is rare a police killer is taken alive. NutmegYankee Sep 2014 #40

1 cop gets shot and they issue an EAS alert and lock down an entire town. Unbelievable... 951-Riverside Sep 2014 #23

One cop got murdered. Another was critical. So that is TWO cops shot. cwydro Sep 2014 #26

I wish they'd lock down every town after every shooting or murder. TeamPooka Sep 2014 #27

+1 TeamPooka 951-Riverside Sep 2014 #32

So cop murders are more important that other citizens? nt Logical Sep 2014 #29

The town is not LOCKED DOWN cwydro Sep 2014 #34

People are shot & wounded all the time in this country, they DO NOT get the same level of attention 951-Riverside Sep 2014 #31

I did not start this thread. But this thread is nothing to do with cops. cwydro Sep 2014 #35

Re: "I don''t think this guy would ONLY shoot cops" ...? 951-Riverside Sep 2014 #55

If he had wanted to commit mass murder, he'd have done it by now. nt NutmegYankee Sep 2014 #39

Some people are more equal than others. NutmegYankee Sep 2014 #38

Right. This might end up just like Boston. Oh. Wait. randome Sep 2014 #51
