Not content to take his home, they took his life!

Why didn’t he just make the payments?

I agree with you.
No immediate threat.
No reason to push the limits right now.
Instead, the police push and push and push.
Maybe if we hung a few of these LEOs who are so willing to kill for the enforcement of an eviction notice, the LEOs might reevaluate their position.

Not content to take his home, they took his life! Who are "they"? The article says he took his own life.

Why didn’t he just make the payments? That "drug addiction" thing might have had something to do with it.

A cache of weapons and explosive devices were found in the home, along with a gas mask, chemical suit similar to those worn by Haz-Mat crew members. This guy was spending his money on the wrong things -- if he was really interested in keeping the house!

So you think folks shouldn’t have to pay for the things they get?

Dumb Axe cops. The guy wasn’t endangering anything. Big big lawsuit at hand.

police said Hahn pulled a gun on Precinct 4 constable deputies who had attempted to serve him with a warrant
But let's "hang a few LEOs"

Not only that some posters apparently think the police killed him. Despite the fact that he’s the one who pulled the trigger. Still, it’s a sad situation.

Yeah, like pulling a gun and lobbing fire bombs is showing his desire to settle the matter peacefully.

Why didn’t they burn and gas him like at Waco? The Branch Davidians were just a bunch of Christian fundamentalists who were trying to keep to themselves peacefully. /sarc

“The guy wasn’t endangering anything.”
Other than arson, pulling a gun on the deputies, and throwing Molotov cocktails at the police. Other than that, the guy’s harmless.

Not content to take his home,
The dude didn’t own the home.... Someone else did and he was squatting without providing compensation the actual owner.....

Well, the foreclosing bank is going to have a problem getting anything decent for that house,now that a violent self inflicted death has occured there! I shed crocodile tears for them. I shed real tears for the children who won’t have a dad as well as the loss of any support money that might have gone to them!

His ex-wife’s lawyer spent all of his money.

Ahh....drugs are free these days then.
It sounds like his ex-wife was right about him.

Sounds a bit like suicide by cop, although he then shot himself.

Of course the cop-haters will flood to this thread, but it looks like we can smoke out a few socialists here as well.
