He’s one of them, Boo-Boo.................
Didn't need to look...
Yes, Boo Boo.
I wonder what other rights I will have to give up because of this.

It’s a good thing the boy isn’t processing oxygen anymore. America is a better place with this clown pushin’ up daisies.
Pass more laws now! Maybe adding more laws to our already huge law database of over 150,000 laws nationwide will eventually stop so,eone hell-bent on murdering others! More laws, more laws!
/extreme sarcasm!
“If only we had gun control”. Another shining example of Gun Control failing.
All those police officers and they didn’t shoot this scum
It’s always one of them!
Yesterday - in the fog as this story was breaking - many FReepers sided with this guy and against the SWAT team sent in with a tank to blast through his house.
Then the facts became clearer. The police actions were entirely and completely justified.
Looks like he had gone the path of radical Islam!
Make it illegal to kill the police. Make it illegal to prosecute LEOs if a perp happens to die while being arrested.
It’s them again, Yogi.
You’re probably right.
It’s a good thing we have these gun laws banning people who shouldn’t have them. /sarc
Obviously their Tactics and Intel left something to be desired.
He did put 8 guys out of action.
Plus now when interviewing, on a job application,you can’t ask if they committed a felon. So this guy could be your child’s pre school teacher.
If the cops did the reasonable and prudent thing in the first place - they’d be alive today.
Problem is the reasonable thing is racist, discriminatory and reeks of jack booted police brutality.
Or say they say.
A lot went wrong and a lot of mistakes had to have been made for that POS to take out 4 LEOs.
