I suppose it was forgotten due to the fact that the shooter was a racist black man.

What aspect of this are you bringing up and why do you believe it was forgotten?

His victims sued the gun and ammo companies:

said they filed a $600 million suit against Sturm Ruger & Co., the Olin Corp. and Ram-L ine Inc. Colin Ferguson, the man convicted and sentenced to multiple life terms for the shooting, used a Ruger semi-automatic pistol in the attack in which six people were killed and 19 wounded. Olin makes the Winchester Black Talon and Winchester Full Metal Jacket bullets Ferguson used in the attack. Ram-Line makes the 15-round clip.

Shooting resulted in yet another anti-gun democrat being elected to congress?  Wife or mother of one of the victims IIRC.

I remember this guy.

He represented himself and usually spouted off racial insults at the judge and victims every time he spoke.   He was removed from the courtroom for the majority of his trial due to his behavior.

What a nut job.

Interesting defense of "black rage"... With today's media portrayal of whites as evil and the general feelings of ill towards the white community, I wonder what permutations of "black rage" will be employed in future crimes like this?

The recent shooting in Dallas, etc... all show similar insanity patterns and the Long Island shooting should not be ignored.  Remember, those who forget history, etc... etc...

Plus, he got his firearms in California.  Did the 14 day background check.

Also, him being a black racist, did not fit the left's idea as the lone white gunman.

I had this hanging up on our bulletin board at work for awhile. The guy in the back who's face is obscured still works with me (He's going on 34 yrs now) and is responsible for writing the 37H3o7 on the vest that Ferguson is wearing. It's code for an old inside joke and the higher ups were not happy that it showed up in full view of the News.

How old are you guys? I'm slightly over 40 and we heard a lot about it in the 90's. They didn't promote the racial aspect of it though.

Mark Essex

As he stepped out once again in the open to fire again on the helicopter, and after hitting the helicopter's transmission, Essex was barraged with fatal gunfire from police sharpshooters on the roofs of adjacent buildings as well as the automatic weapons aboard the helicopter. An autopsy later revealed more than 200 gunshot wounds.


 He dead.

1) Shooter was black.
2) Weapon was a pistol, not a evil black rifle.
3) He didn't use "High capacity" magazines.
4) He was tackled and stopped by civilians.
5) No terrorist or crazy motives, just a mentally unstable guy, which reinforces what groups like the NRA have been saying for decades, that these shootings are a mental health problem, not a gun problem.
6) Was committed in the pre columbine era where the mainstream media didn't switch to live 24/7 national news coverage after every shooting involving 4 or more people. IMO this has created copy cat who want the same attention as previous mass shooters.

Yep, the dip shits of Nassau County on Long Island elected Carolyn McCarthy to congress. A woman so far out of her element that she never accomplished a thing a congress critter. She only emerged when there was anti-gun BS to be pushed. Last I heard she was near death from
cancer, but had not kicked it yet. FU Carolyn McCarthy.

From wiki:
Ferguson spoke out against coexistence with whites and routinely made calls for retributive revolution. Ferguson regularly accused others around him of racism. During one occasion, Ferguson complained that a white woman in the library shouted racial epithets at him after he asked her about a class assignment. An investigation concluded the incident never occurred.

Looks like the writing on the vest is like the old upside-down calculator "BOOBIES" trick.  Says LOEHLE if you flip it over which is an aircraft manufacturer as well as an uncommon last name.  No idea how that ties into an inside joke though.
