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.

And this ladies and gentlemen, is why "Inciting panic" is a crime
jovialn
We are basically smarter cattle. Any potential threat can cause us to rely on our baser instincts. This is just like stampede in the wild.
quintusfontane
Yup. Herd mentality.
laestrella
It's a fear of mine that a shooter will be on the underground. All those people. I think I'm developing claustrophobia
BenWyattCalzoneKingandIceTownClown
This surprises me, as a native new yorker a taser pop in penn station should a been a normal sound of nature there
stellacat
it's not a normal sound. it's loud.
Entact

Simba's down there!
Trippyaquariumdude
I think that people are afraid that a shooting "might" be happening because it's become so common. That's the shocking thing.
okausername
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.
Gunshooow
Don't taz me bro
stormstereo
Reference on point.
mynameisnotphoebe
Personally, I find this understandable. On the other hand, the spelling of taser/tazor? Hell naw.
CrazyCatLad
I used to love riding my Tazor Scooter around on the reg.
ohwhereohwhereismyhairbrush
My ankles remember.
CallMeThreeGunsGreg
People confusing tasers and stun guns irks me as much as that magazines and clips thing. I should really just relax.
PacifistPlaythroughs
I think you're making a distinction that doesn't really exist. Taser is a brand of stun-gun.
jrunk
Oh sure. NOW all you tourists can fucking move.

Dear god, nothing gets my blood boiling faster than a trip through crowds of tourists and the homeless wackos in that dump.

Disarmed people are. Hey, look at that. Penn Station is in New York. Look at the future of gun control people.

This is pathetic
FightMeYouLongAssBitch
There's a lot of free shit lying around for someone to grab.

From what I know about Penn it WILL be stolen. They'll steal it when you're holding it.

Fuck all these other kids, if they are willing to leave it they obviously don't want it. Fair game
WibbleWibble
Ah, you see. Some run for their life, some keep cool and help others in trouble, and some take advantage and loot. Which are you, I wonder?
lospaturno
everything is free if you are a thief.
Kamica
"Free" as in, it'd still be a criminal offense.
GnomeAnn
Is that true? It's a criminal offense to pick up a bag or an umbrella or anything you found on the ground?
notcreativethennumbers
Circumstances apply, but It depends on local government. https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/lost_property
Kamica
Keeping it with no intent of trying to return it, I'm pretty sure is? 'cause it's still property of someone.
shhep
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.
MacThunderfart
So you are saying if i bring everything to the police i get a lot of money? Honey, we're taking the truck today and get you tasered.
FinAeros
Behold, herd mentality.
ThePickle
The guy who helped the man up, then walked against the crowd, that's my kind of person. Ready to help or fight, mother fuckin' rearguard
thedevil
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
ThePickle
Very true. No way of knowing until you're tested. But I still admire the guy, and hope I'd behave the same.
maxmotivated
so much loot oO

Yea I wonder if he's a lawyer or a peace officer. He seems A) awfully calm, B) willing to reach out and help people, C) not ruled by fear.
Dedeurmetdebaard
D) high as fuck

Heading to where the "shot" came from? The hero Gotham deserves.

DukePhelan
If you are unarmed, running from a possible gunman is consider prudent. Evaluate, evade, counter attack.
Ravencore
You're right and I agree, especially with all the mass shootings and whatnot in USA. Original comment was just fun.

Any one else notice that 7'5" woman/alien in the midst

Rarely seen, the female yeti only comes out of hiding to hunt or mate. Guessing incorrectly which can be life changing for bystanders.

Nah, James S.A. Corey's The Expanse for me. Calling asteroid belt inhabitants 'belters' is kinda self-evident.

Cool. I don't read much besides text books and tech manuals these days.
