nyc poker club shooting

i'm late to blogging about this, but for those who haven't heard, nytimes article here, and good daily news article here.

i had planned to check out this "new" club one of these days, and have friends who have been. i haven't been going to the clubs much lately, and this cements my decision to stay away in the future. my heart goes out to this man's family (he has a 16 year old daughter!). the sickest part to me is that he wasn't even shot b/c he was resisting, or giving the robbers a problem. he was shot b/c one of the robbers was a complete moron, dropped his sawed off shotgun, and couldn't control it when he picked it back up. disgusting.
