How's the hangover this morning? Attacking a person is not questioning authority moron. And you shouldn't go around threatening to hit people or you may get hurt there little man.
I was there....He had a gun. He DID NOT want to go t jail.
It was him or the COP.
HAters, need to pick another shooting...this one is legit. As most are.
To RESIDENT.....YOu dont "Wuestion authority", just because you can...thats like me punching you when I see you....Just becasue I need to "excercise my right"...You #$@#$@ moron.
Obviously there needs to be some decent reason..
By the law of averages metro should have a "good shooting sometimes"...right?....How come I never see anyone supporting these shootings..you psychopaths complain before youe even read a story.....
Im scared that there ae actually tis many deranged losers , living in mamas basement that are this bored but to attack the cops behind the anonymity of a computer screen.
Loosers. How sad. Someone has to make my coffee, and big mac. I guess thats most of you haters.
