GASSVILLE, Ark. - A teenager wanted in a hatchet-and-gun attack on patrons of a Massachusetts gay bar died Sunday morning at a Missouri hospital after he was critically wounded in a gun battle with Arkansas police, authorities said.

Jacob D. Robida, 18, died at 3:38 a.m. Sunday at Cox-South Hospital in Springfield, Arkansas State Police spokesman Bill Sadler said.

Robida was wounded after he shot and killed a small-town police officer in Gassville on Saturday and a West Virginia woman before a shootout ended with Robida's arrest, authorities said. Robida was shot twice in the head, authorities said.

Ah, he's dead! I'm relieved that now he won't be a mascot of the insane left (he did kill a cop, after all). I hope there is a special place in hell for him.

Yup, but "suicide by cop" instead. No trial, no waiting decades on death row. He and his MySpace pals kept
writing about death on their sites/profiles. Now he gets to experience it. Sadly, two innocent people got to experience
it, too, at his hand.

You are kidding, right?

Usually, but you would be shocked at the number of people on the internet with no sense of humor.

This is most likely an example of why police departments need to reevaluate the 9mm, .38 cal. and other such calibers.

Had this POS received two head taps from a .45, there would be no waste of medical and emergency resources. Just cover him up with a sheet, case closed.

Around my parts, PD has gone over to .40 S&W. They 'accidentaly discharge' them more on themselve's than on the perps.

Seattle fans, no doubt.

Speaking of the game, I don't do tv but I have broadband. Does anybody know where I could watch it over the internet? I live in Texas so I don't have a dog in the fight, but I kind of enjoy pro football.

Can't help you on that one. ESPN might have a pay link, but I'm not sure.
