Thank god he didn't shoot any of the patrons in the Panera store.
I'm sure that based on your comment, others will be along to say it's a mental health problem, and leave the gun out of it.

(3,194 posts)I wonder if his skin color gave him the benefit of the doubt, and before the cops knew it, he was shooting them dead.
Did they first ask him to drop his weapon, or were they ready to fire their weapons?

This is how the vast majority of police officers handle situations. Black or white cop. Black or white perp. 99% of the time it ends without incident. Here, it did not because of another criminal with easy access to a gun.

Why should he, when he had his trusty little Penis envy weapon at disposal. I'm sure he would be proud to know that he managed to kill both cops before he went.
