study the monster. Then throw away the key. He was in somebody's back yard.

That guy giving the statement from the RCMP was so shaken earlier today about the deaths and injuries.

(135,425 posts)They've been covering it on TV, certainly, they just aren't going into great detail about his "personality." It's more like reports on local television of a rabid muskrat in the vicinity, or something like that.

(9,688 posts)Perhaps I'm just a reactionary asshole for saying it, but I have no interest in "studies" of the monster.
I'm just glad that justice will be done.

(8,646 posts)I think everyone was really worried b/c the guy was a gun nut with a cop hate-on.
Thank god they got him.
On a sad note, one of the RCMPs killed had a 19 month old and a baby on the way. I cried when I heard that. I hope his wife has a lot of support. That's a cop's spouse's worst nightmare (my brother is a cop spouse but thankfully his wife isn't on patrol anymore, she was promoted).
