I blame video games plus the media and his late mother for not spanking him.
I propose that the cure to this problem is to arm all firefighters or at least give every fire engine armed guards.

Apparently he shot himself.

The suspect was one sick individual and should have probably never been released on parole, he had spent 18 years in prison for killing his mother with a hammer and had been on parole since the end of the 1990s. :nope:

This all happened within 15 minutes drive of where I live, and about 3 miles from my Aunt's house. :-?

A lot of my cousins live in Webster, and the rochester area in general.

I know this isn't an uncommon thing, attacking firemen. When I was in my fire training courses, they had taught us about meth labs that were booby trapped with steel pipes filled with 12g ammo. If the place caught fire, the ammo would cook off, spraying buck shot every where. This was to keep the fire dept from saving a building so it couldnt be investigated. They would also build punji pits right behind obvious entry points so we'd fall into them.

That post served absolutely no purpose, and has no business being made on the Subsim forums. :nope:

Looks like Spengler took out at least seven houses intotal and one of his three weapons was the same make and calibre rifle as that used in the Newtown murders earlier this month :nope:

There are indeed monsters among us. :nope:

He was a convicted felon, who is not allowed to possess firearms, in a state that has an assault weapons ban.

Shows how well a AWB works don't it?


If anything, the question should be that why was that dirtbag let out of prison in the first place.

Cybermat47 12-26-12 01:23 AM

Heard about this at Christmas :nope:

How the hell did he get the guns!? The brute had spent 17 years in jail for killing his grandmother, and 2nd Amendment or not, he didn't have a gun license :nope:

Very understandable :yep:

I could not believe this when I read it the morning of the 24th. This was in part of my old haunts back in 72 to 74 when I worked in Rochester, at Eastman Kodak off of Lake Ave in their Polly Baryta department. I used to stop out in Webster to see friends, and used RT 250 to 104 to miss some traffic when heading up north to see family and friends in my home town of Massena.

It sure seems that more and more wackos are feeding off of previous wackos this year. I wish someone would make it stop.
