Yeah, I was thinking it was a campus vehicle. As you said, probably not as much high-tech gear.

I was on the scene of a shootout in Tulsa years ago. Watched the whole thing. Fire Dept. beat the police there - by a long shot, too.

Yes, it all sounds like caps guns 100 - 150 feet away. One guy took up a position maybe 50 feet or less away from me and was shooting at another guy (who may have still been shooting at someone else).

THAT was an interesting night. Newspaper account (read it online) had it wrong, of course.

It’s time to end this b******* once and for all from Washington all the way out. We do not have much time left.

Yeah, but on FR it seems if a cop has a chance to shoot a guy, if he wants them to, he should take it. But, they’ll scream bloody murder about assisted suicide. Yep.

Assisted suicide is wrong.

But let's face it, seeing the SOB get shot is more satisfying.

Please don’t make fun or make light of this. My daughter is on the Georgia Tech campus as a minister for Christ and is at risk. She graduated in May but is on campus for another year to serve.

"Our cops have always shot people who came at them with knives and much quicker."

Concur. My grandfather was a cop in a small town in the 30s. If someone pulled a knife on a cop, they got shot or a beatdown- regardless of the reason. It was a prophylactic against future violence.

The difference is that the crazy people were sent away or kept at home (no drugs back then), and an article like this would have never been picked up by national news.

No other civilized county’s police would have have shot this guy at that point. They simply would have moved away from him and resumed efforts to non-leathaly neutralize him. Police in the US used to be more like that too.

Huh? You mean like the British soldiers or police officers who get murdered by knife-wielding terrorists?

Sometimes I think even FreeRepublic has lost its collective mind.

I can remember when every college campus in the U.S. didn't have LGBTQWLLJIDELAUTBSILADREGLSADIEAYUTPFIEHG "pride" organizations led by freaks like this misfit, either.

You are exactly right. I just shake my head at the closing of all the mental institutions. People who need mental therapy are winding up in prison, and this makes them worse.

Trust me, there is a lot of folks who need mental health in the world, especially in impoverished areas.

Well, not all of them.

Apparently many of them end up on a college campus with your own son/daughter/sister/brother/etc.

Lol, true, I just like to them think of them as young and confused. Once they grow up, they usually start to balance out a bit.

They certainly were not-——but there was no 24 hour news cycle or internet.

Where on earth did you get the idea that police were kinder and gentler?

They weren’t dealing with the insanity that we have today either.

You should be ashamed of yourself. You really like to see someone suicidal, confused kid get shot?

The leftist NAZI'S coordinate their VIOLENT RIOTS on Facebook and Twitter AND SOMEHOW THEIR ACCOUNTS ARE TERMINATED..

I can help put a serious CRIMP in these riot organizer's rampages:

ARREST GEORGE SOROS AND FREEZE HIS ASSETS!
