Funny how this apparent criminal murders several people, runs and for some reason DOES NOT shoot back at the cops (well, we don’t know that yet.... but, he’s alive so one has to assume he either didn’t have a gun, or didn’t point it at them or he’d be dead).

Yet a guy in another state is being held on murder charges when cops kick in his door and he kills a cop... hmmmm

And yet people are making claims about the guy defending him home being a criminal? I’m sooooooo confused.

I know this is serious, but I couldn't help thinking of the classic Tonight Show sketch with Johnny, Jack Webb and the "clean copper clappers."

The guy could just have driven across the street into Virginia and been in trouble with the Feds for crossing the state line...
