Anyone who has played Halo or COD knows that. Pistol or Sniper rifle = headshot = dead. ;)

I was thinking about this guy again today. All too often we see this now where someone an heros by cop... and we think "good... another piece of shit dead."

That guy got into his ford escort with an AK-47 (priorities in order, obviously)... and likely went out breaking traffic laws to instigate the suicide by cop. He clearly unloaded his magazine... and then just asked to be killed... which they did.

There is no telling how intensely unhappy his life was to get him to this point. I'm not saying "aww... poor guy"... because shooting at cops who are good people is a dickhead move. I'm wondering how we let it get to this point of unhappiness for people... and we, as citizens of the same society just don't care.

Boggles my mind.

Because most of the time they are not "life threatening" problems but "first world" problems. "Oh no I can't pay a bill this month." or "Oh no my wife cheated on me." vs Little girl raped to death in Africa or the always classic genocide.

I guess you can make anything pale in comparison when you compare it to something around the world that is certainly more horrific.

Just saying... the war on weapons will be about as effective and cost efficient as the war on drugs. If you haven't noticed... that doesn't work either.

Agreed they are both a waste of billions a year.

So in your mind what's the difference Lucas?

In Chicago it's now the equivalent of a traffic ticket if you're caught with marijuana - at least enough for recreational purposes.

Apparently, a kid can't even make believe playing Marines like his Dad when at school any more.

On Friday, Christopher Marshall, a second grader at Driver Elementary School in Suffolk, Virginia and his classmate were playing with their pencils, pointing them at each other and making machine gun noises when a concerned teacher pulled them into the principals' office.

We used to make tiny slingshots with our fingers and rubber bands and shoot paper wads and paper clips at each other and never got in trouble with the teacher. And that stuff actually hurt if you were hit. :rolleyes:
