Nice work detectives.
"AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!"
Why can't any of these guys just cut to the chase and shoot themselves FIRST!
Prioritize people.
I have often wanted to go on shooting rampages in Radio Shack stores. You guys on the left coast are lucky to have Fry's, a good alternative.
What was this about? Fighting over rechargeable battery brands?
As I walked over to the counter to call the cops he kept tring to reach into the bag. I kept knocking his hand away. When I got to the counter the two of them ran out the door, laughing (I was alone and couldn't really stop them).
When the cops came we looked into the bag and discovered what he must have been reaching for: a 12" long kitchen knife.
I took the rest of the day off.
Just recently on a multi-state trip I stopped off at a gas station in a small town. After gassing up my car I parked it and walked back to pay the bill. On the way there I came across this man standing behind a pick-up truck who angrily told me, "Go that way!" and gestured to the direction I was going anyway.
I looked into the eyes and saw unbelievable anger and wildness.
I checked with the lady at the cash register and she said, "Yeah, everybody walks gingerly around him as he can fly off at the least provocation."
You gotta be careful.
Yes, the guy had a history but it wasn't taken seriously. Our law enforcement would rather hand out parking tickets than watch habitual criminals. Remember Carlie Brucia of Sarasota? Kidnapped and killed by a habitual criminal.
Florida's law enforcement is the BARNEY FIFE VARIETY, especially PINELLAS COUNTY.
The killer looked like Mark Hacking of Utah who shot his wife. Very close resemblance. His sister looks like a NOW member. Cropped hair, no makeup - very plain. She was interviewed by www.baynews9.com (exclusive interview with them).
Have to wonder if this is one of those "gun free", criminal empowerment zone malls.
"No, that's not the right one. Neither of those ends is a 3.5mm stereo."
Hmmmm, I know we have one around here someplace."
"Arrrrrgggggg."
my thought on learning this was that, were there more people who valued their second ammendment rights (you know, who were taught to value it as a right and an obligation for able bodied citizens to bear arms) then perhaps the people whose cars he wailed on might have stopped him, or at least put the fear of God in him, before he killed two innocent people and put another in critical condition.
If, that is, people weren't taught that government run domestic law enforcement is their daddy.
I've fumed about Pinellas Co law enforcement extensively, and the court system to a lesser extent. I'm an honest, professional white male -- never been a trouble maker -- and I've had enough experiences with the "system" to fill a book. Pinellas is hopelessly corrupt, the sherrif's deputies indulge in too many steroids, watch too much "crime scene" and court tv. Juges and lawyers are so in bed with each other it's plainly obvious.
Taken together,they're dangerous, overzealous, and unstable.
