Was his welfare check late? That might enrage anyone in a socialist state.

This is how all murder suicides should be. The suicide is supposed to come first.

From the headline, I thought he just DIED. But apparently he had a bullet hole in him that caused him to just die.

the only way that could have ended better would have been if an Armed Civilian had ventilated him BEFORE he had gotten a shot off...

Was he tossing ammo boxes around? Hey editor, take this reporter's thesaurus away and make him right plainly and to the point.

Was the word 'tense' neccessary? How many 'light hearted' standoffs are there?

No kidding. And why do they need to make a big production before hand? (/rhetorical)

Wonder if this guy thought the suicide by cop was taking too long. Cops can't get nothing right. (/sarc)
