"unprofessional conduct" I'll say, a very poor choice of weaponry in any case. I find that the .45 ACP has much better stopping power against annoying memos and other assorted office horse droppings.

I shot a disk drive with a .50AE once.
That'll put a grin on yer mug.

Powers took the memo and shot it several times with a .22-caliber handgun before returning it to the office, the document says. "Before returning it to the office..." Where was the memo taken and shot? If to a licensed shooting range, his actions may be unsubtle but I don't see anything actionable about them unless they were accompanied by other verbal or written threats.

Perhaps he specialized in anger management, for the local Islamic community.

"The comment prompted several co-workers to seek protection orders against him."
OK, we had a Mr. Happy-man at my office too, but thank goodness he's not there anymore.

I was born and raised in North Platte in the 60s and 70s. I'm guessing this guy is from somewhere else. A real Flat Rocker would have used a shot gun or a high-powered hunting rifle. 22s are for the kids to play with.

Wow, they're pretty strict in Neb. Here in Ks, we shoot offending memos without a second thought.

Memo in question, in critical condition (Nebraska All Souls Hospital):Seeee! It's that sort of mentality that laid waste to my beautiful life as an office memo! Please, will someone call Sarah Brady?

Well, let us give him some credit: while he was agitated, he did NOT go to work, and would probably have calmed down in a couple more days.

I think it would have to depend on which keys he didn't get. Don't be locking a mental health worker out of the liquor cabinet, buckaroo - it just ain't right.

Really! He seems perfectly able to administer therapy to me. He knows the subject. Where range rules permit, some people will shoot just about anything. If shooting a memo makes one feel good, I see no reason do consider it any worse than, e.g., throwing darts at a picture of an annoying person.

Seriously, this is one of the most unintentionally funny articles that's been posted today.

My sis, whom I pinged earlier in thread, sent me the link to it from Aol Instant Messenger.
She wanted me to post it, but I already have a rep as being weird enough..

BAN ALL HANDGUNS!! If only one memo can be saved, it will all be worth-wile. (sarcasm)
