It happened at a machine tool company, but what was the “side business”?

No pics... but it’s Milwaukee. I know which way to lay the odds on the perp’s background.

‘Cooperated with the police’—mistake. Even when you are 100% in the right, keep quiet until your attorney gets there.

The good news—the perp’s defective DNA has now been removed from the collective gene pool.

What a very excellent idea. I wonder what his parents would say if they were willing to relay the message. And while somebody is at that why not tell David storks bring babies.

I grew up in Milwaukeestan. Parts of it are completely unrecognizable, now.

That said, I love a Happy Ending. :)

The perp was 21 years old when he was dispatched to Hades. He had probably spawned 3 or more future felons.

You can expect future articles bemoaning the fact that the individual defending his life took away a loving father from these children (and loving mothers).

I don’t think that it would be an exaggeration to say that taxpayers of today and tomorrow have been spared well into seven figures here. Well done.
