If he wants to kill himself let him.

They should have brought this guy to Butler last July instead of that Thomas Matthew Crooks. How much better off would the world be today?

 

[GoreExorcist]

That's no way a good ending. They should have waited until he shot himself then moved in.

Did he really say "police and light infantry"? How many police, a battalion?

Stupid looking motherfucker

If this happened today they would have put 100 holes in him. We live in a time of zero forgiveness and absolutely no second chances.

Another great article about this shot: https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/crime/2015/02/01/columbus-sniper-one-amazing-shot/985803007/

from that article:

He never used those skills as a Marine serving in Vietnam.

He will walk away as the only Columbus police sniper to fire a shot on active duty.

The guy likely only got to fired one single active duty sniper shot through his entire marine and police career, but he sure made it count.
