Thankfully the dog survived and will hopefully be back to full health in no time. But I've driven through East Islip and it never seemed bad enough to warrant this type of incident. Anybody think otherwise?
This is one pocket of East Islip which borders Islip Terrace and is just south of Sunrise, north of the LIRR. I wouldn't label EI bad because of this one incident.

just like a car owner is someone who owns a car.
If I steal your car does that make me a car owner??? I think not.

if they legally bought their guns they are gun owners....

buying on the street or under false pretenses hath not make you an owner....

If you buy a car with a fake cashiers check, it does not make you an owner of the car.

Gun owner= resident that legally owns a firearm

did these guys even have a right to own these guns? There were some felony warrants outstanding. Can the 2 survivors legally purchase guns and become gun owners after this incident?
They couldnt legally purchase guns before this incident with 2 felony warrants outstanding.

How long before the bad guys file a civil suit for damages and end up owning the guy's house?! If you don't die, crime pays in this idiotic society.
