A man near the Amtrak waiting area of the station had become belligerent and Amtrak police used a Taser on him, authorities said.
The pop of the Taser and the reactions of people nearby spread fear through the Amtrak waiting area. Some people thought there was a shooter and ran. Others followed, unsure why hordes of people were fleeing.
In the panic, people left bags and other belongings behind. Some people tripped and fell as they scrambled for the exits.

I think that people are afraid that a shooting "might" be happening because it's become so common. That's the shocking thing.

Well, the terrorist's goal was to make us live in fear. Looks like they won in New York. A Taser pop sounds like a party toy.

So many people like to say this is who they relate to or who they are. Truth is until that moment you'll never know. Maybe you're a coward

I think you're making a distinction that doesn't really exist. Taser is a brand of stun-gun.

"Free" as in, it'd still be a criminal offense.

Is that true? It's a criminal offense to pick up a bag or an umbrella or anything you found on the ground?

Keeping it with no intent of trying to return it, I'm pretty sure is? 'cause it's still property of someone.

9 years ago | Likes 16 Dislikes 2

You are supposed to return it to the police station. If you do so, you can claim finders fee which varies, but should be around 20% worth.

If you are unarmed, running from a possible gunman is consider prudent. Evaluate, evade, counter attack.
