Gunman On The Loose At Xanadu

Thursday, April 10, 2008

From the Star Ledger...

A gunman today forced his way into the Meadowlands Xanadu Mall construction site, police said.

The man approached a security guard at 8:30 a.m., asked to enter the site, then drew a gun, said State Police Sgt. Stephen Jones.

The guard allowed the man to enter, and he remained at large at 9:30 a.m., Jones said.

UPDATE: Search is called off; no gunman found.

I can understand using a gun to force your way out of there, but to get in?

Hopefully he was going after the architect.

You didn't hear? Blue, yellow and red siding are making a killing on the black market.

He just wants to borrow some Legos.

Perhaps this is the same gunman who earlier this week sent an anonymous threat to Montclair State University. Perhaps he showed up this morning at MSU and was scared away by the SWAT team waiting for him. My theory: if he was stupid enough to actually send a letter prior to his MSU visit, maybe he's stupid enough to try his hand at indoor skiing in April.

I've heard lots of stories about getting the first powder - and boy - lots of things are worth that virgin snow, but a gun and there? Dumas.

They should have just let him go.

What is the freakin' point of having a guard if he's going to be a pansy? The perp draws a gun, so take yours out and shoot him. It really can't be much more simple. Unless it was of course one of those 78 year old guards we see at the mall, who's uniform hangs off their bones like a dry cleaning hanger.
