SNIP: You don’t ‘see’ the guy because of pixelation, but he went down.
Practice makes perfect.
Nice shooting….I like it.
Now he’ll sleep forever.
Whenever these things happen, my first response is,
WHERE WAS THE WOMAN’S FIREARM TO PROTECT HERSELF?!
I would very much prefer a citizen blow the brains out of some meth head, or robber than put themselves at risk waiting for the police to show up and get in position.

Nice shot. I hope the hostage cooked up the officer who saved her life a large pepperoni with extra cheese.
It’s always a great story when these guys get killed. The only bad news is the cost of the bullet. Oh well.
Very sad to see someones life spiral down to this point. I blame Obamanomics.
He had a fear that the police were trying to kill him.
A self-fulfilled fear.
Never did any shooting in a pizza shop. I’ve only used pizza boxes to pin my target to when doing a bit of shooting. With the better ones you don’t even need a target. Just shot the pepperoni, the little squares or the pizza guy printed on the box.
Visited Lancaster a few times about 7 years ago. That’s where the last Arthur Treacher’s was. I hear it’s now closed.
“He had been awake for 8 days and had a fear that police were trying to kill him.”
Well, now he’s asleep forever and he was correct that the cops were trying to kill him. He got one thing right.
“His mother says her son was schizophrenic due to a meth addiction.”
FIFY
BFH, can you burn SophieBurns robo ad? Thanks!
Thinking more of Elvis,
Now that’s TCB…
Seems his fear of being killed by a cop was spot on. Often times the people with this fear understand that it is a fear justified by their own behavior. Though they never take responsibility for that part.
