If he makes it I am guessing he will be charged with possessing a hand gun in NYC. Dont drop the soap.

Apparently he was a former Fox News employee

You guys are looking at it the wrong way. He finally heard about the crap our government was doing and he couldn't stand it.

Seriously though, will be interesting to see if there's more to this. Imagine if Joe the Plumber did something like this and blamed Obama/media?

The man was a former employee who claimed Fox ruined his life by firing him.
The protest had nothing to do with program content. Want to bet that's going to be left out of any reports?
This is the typical "my life is crap and it's all your fault and I'm going to hurt myself and then you'll be sorry" tantrum that we see from children who refuse to take responsibility for themselves.
It kind of reminds me of the destruction and looting that destroys some neighborhoods during "protests" over a perceived injustice.
"The shopping center burned down; see what you made me do?"

At least he shot himself before and not after going into the building and creating another mass murder causing more calls for firearm bans.
