Homicidal Nutter of the Day

It's getting to be a daily occurrence, so why not just have a thread that lists each one?

Georgia courthouse attacker prepared to inflict mayhem

Wow, grenades? I didn't know you could get those.

In this case, only one deputy was wounded, bad guy dead.

Homicidal nutter thread...not actually a bad idea, since they do seem to be part of the staple diet at the moment.

They always have been surely since the dawn of time people have gone Mau Mau with an axe or what ever weapon they had at hand and went around splitting heads. We just hear about it more easily these days where as long ago it probably was not known about beyond the next valley.

If anything the attention such actions get likely does not help things as some people see "going off" as a way to get their fifteen minutes of fame.

All part of the human condition I recon.

AKA suicide by cop. When life grinds you so far into the mud that all you want to do is end the misery, going on a shooting rampage will definitely get you the right attention to accomplish your goal. It really motivates the law dogs to put one between your eyes.

You can't fix crazy but you can put it down like a rabid dog.

Not necessarily. Not every spree killer goes down some it seems want to get captured others kill themselves.I do not see every spree killer as having been pushed to the edge and then snapping.It could be any number of things my point basically is that such things are a part of human nature and will never go away nor be avoidable.

I do not think that every spree killer is certifiably mentally ill either some are just people that have no problem with killing and know that it is morally wrong they just choose to kill.

I have no idea the statics might be but I have a feeling that far more people who wish to commit suicide do so successfully on their own with out physically harming another person in the process I'd say that the spree killer who off themselves when they are finished would be the smallest portion of the "committed suicide this year" whole.

True dat.
It's just the rabid ones who develop the extreme point of view of, "If I can't live I'll take a few with me."

Detroit news? They've really expanded their area of news coverage if it includes Las Vegas. Must've pulled the story off the wire to make sure it gets "national" attention to promote the agenda for disarming the population.

The animals, the animals

Trap, trap, trap until the cage is full.
Another fugitive caught and sentenced to a life in a federal cage.

At least he didn't kill anybody. Though he did take pot shots at the authorities when they were trying to apprehend him.

You can purchase hand grenades right there in Galveston, Texas I forget which store, but they sell them empty of course and then you just put the powder in.

The two policeman in Las Vegas weren't so lucky though, uh?

I fear this really is going to be a war right here in America ... sad
