    Its very sad. He should have just let go of his issue. He should realize that life goes on. Killing people is not the answear to solving an issue. He could of just listened to his mother or moved out.

    Binghamton is my hometwon. As I was watching the TV reports, I remembered that ACA office was basically next door to the church on Front Street where I was a member when I was young. That was the First Congregational Church, which is the one that appears in so many of the videos. I have driven past that ACA office many times and never even known exactly what they did there. I just never paid much attention to it until today. It's a cliche, but I never thought anything like this would happen in Binghamton, although as I said, the city has gone downhill very badly in the last 20-30 years.
