What I thought was strange is when his friend said something along the lines of ‘he had said that if this were to ever happen, he would kill himself first’.
What is the ‘this’ that he was referring to and why did they even talk about something like what had occurred.
The local media was just trying to keep up with the developments and ‘fill’ in between talking w/PD information officer and with random occurences (like when they cut the power lines to the street and all three local channels zoomed in on the Duquesne Light worker going up in the cherry picker). Then the first guy (with the glasses) showed up (the one who kept saying how smart/funny Poplawski was; and then friend number two (the one who said he got the phone call from perp; and he left work to come to ‘negotiate’ w/Poplawski—not asked by police—but was in front of a camera instead). Their demeanor....very weird and odd.
