[citation][nom]Morgan3rd[/nom]Thankfully the off duty cop stopped any more pointless slaughter.As much as I want to insert a fan-boy comment here, I'll instead send my thoughts to the friends and family of such a senseless death.[/citation]

Uh, the victim didn't actually die... Just the perp.

How's the view from the soapbox?

Why even post unoriginal stuff like that?

If you want to help victims, help them, don't post about how you're going to send thoughts to them. You're trying to use their tragedy to make yourself look better. It's disgusting.

Also, the guy shot isn't dead, at least according to this post. But, nice job grandstanding.

It's probably just easier to work with someone else that's more irritating. That way you have time to escape while they're getting gunned down.

Pretty nutso... I live there - fairly small town/city. I was pissed off that I couldn't get through the roadblocks, then found out why later. My old man's a retired cop and told me that the guy was pretty troublesome back when he was on the force. Good thing the off-duty cop was there!

a new Counterstrike map to consider making..although it may be a quick death because that'd be a pretty small map. i'll use my desert eagle skinned as a .44 magnum :)

Alot of people think this is some joke. Its not. Some guy walked into a store and shot a employee. Where is the joke in that? If this was your friend that got shot, would you be making jokes about him deserving it? Please act like mature adults and don't mock what has happened. The shooter was crazy to behave in this type of manner.

Crazy...maybe. The subtext here is likely that corporations are committing egregious acts that are slowly dragging susceptible people to the edge. Test messages for 15 cents each? They are piggybacked in existing data frames, thus the 140 character limit. They are free for them. Companies have no guarantee to make billions per year, just to try and make a profit. When they start doing it by abusing customers, things like this are brought into the realm of possibility. Sad, but unavoidable with how business is currently conducted.

Unless AT&T employees have been raping and murdering his family, I don't think we need the whole story.

[citation][nom]Gin Fushicho[/nom]Asshole should have used a .44 Magnum. Asshole should also be in a psyche ward.[/citation]

It's harder to hide a .44 Magnum, and it's a bear to fire for someone elderly. I don't care what Clint Eastwood does on film, if he fired one with a single hand, he would have broken his wrist.

Also, even a .44 Magnum isn't lethal if it's not aimed properly. Let's not fault the tool for user error.

you sure do get a thumbs down coryinjapan.. Not because I hate jesus, but because your comment is wildly insane. Crime rates are down and this guy was most likely needed meds...it would of happened in 1870's as well only a tumbleweed and a empty town square would of been involved. Take your judgement somewhere else.

Thank God someone finally put Mr. Dickan out of his misery. Anyone who responds to poor service from a company with a loaded weapon should be shot on sight. It doesn't matter if an AT&T employee laughs in a customer's face. There is absolutely no reason to respond to poor service from a company with physical violence. Maybe Mr. Dickan should have filed a lawsuit if his experience with AT&T was really that bad. If anyone agrees with what Mr. Dickan did then maybe they should have their head examined.
