I guess the government needs to register all knives owned by homosexuals.

This poor fellow neeed a pistol and all he had was 911.

Of course, if he had killed his roomate the libs would have decried it as "senselss gun violence".

There's a lot of bad cops out there, but there's many more good ones. It took guts to tackle that homosexual guy with blood all over him - high risk of being infected with AIDS. The killer was probably all hopped up on drugs, too - furthering the danger to the officer.

He should have just shot him, which IMO would have been "justifiable" as in the true meaning of "being in fear of my life".

Note to FReeper Policemen: Please stay safe.

Mejia, who was Howard's lover, became enraged at him for an unknown reason and attacked him at around 11 p.m. Monday, Moore said.
