but I really think it's about more than the campaign. Call it a hunch.

Turns out Askew was not only crazy, but gay.

I have good hunches.

Yep, the news here is reporting that he had previously attempted to beat his lover in the head with a hammer at one point. It also looks like he was HIV positive as he was taking AZT and other drugs commonly associated with the cocktail. Perhaps he was just angry at the world and wanted to go out shooting and then.......suicide by cop. I am glad to see that the officer who took him out was given the gold shield of a detective yesterday. Being able to make that shot in that environment (pandemonium) says a lot about that officer's ability. They'd better make his story required reading in the academy.
