The local TV news did even worse.

They said it was the passerby who was shot dead by the guy who shot the trooper.

Right! I know anytime I stop to play good Samaritan I always make sure to shoot any dead people in the vicinity.

I live between two cemeteries. [At least it's quiet.] If I have to play Samaritan, or if the world goes full zombie, I'll need a lot of ammo.

Why would one shoot a dead gunman ?

I blame the old Raid ads.

This thread has really brought out the grammar quibblers. The meaning of the headline was perfectly clear — even to a flunkie from the “hood” — the perp was shot dead.

The great Arizona gun rights are due to Arizona Citizens Defense League. They are amazing.

I apologize for being the cause of the hijacking of your thread.
It's a serious story, and I/we know that, but sometimes, amidst all the crap in the pool, we just gotta laugh a little.

..if we weren't all crazy we would go insane..

I think they mean shooting him dead as opposed to shooting and wounding him. :-)

True. They work very hard. I’m on their email list and do what I can to help.

Because if we outlaw guns, then the only dead people who own guns will be the dead outlaws.

Was the dead gunman really dead? Maybe his beeber was just set to stune.
