catdog,

I have observed your posts about these standoffs and shootings and anything that has to do with Govt or Police. It is clear you are quite clearly insane or should be on your own island. if you live in Walworth Co., please move. Move to China, North Korea or Iran if it's that bad there, then you will get a picture of how oppressive your Police State is. I look forward to your posts about Chinese, Iranian or North Korean cops shooting people. In reality, we probably wouldn't see those post because after you so spoke out and spew your rhetoric like you do here, no one would ever find you. The fact of the matter as people want to continue to sit around their house, drink, get into fights and have domestics, then make the wise choice of bringing guns into the mix, they run the risk of bringing harm to themselves. It strikes me that in all these standoffs we read about, just how many end peacefully with no one getting hurt. How many hours have some of these standoffs lasted and suspects still shot at the Police. Have there been exceptions, yeah of course, but that path was chosen by the suspects, by shooting at the Police. In only 1 case in the last few months was fire returned and the suspect hit and the threat stopped. It strikes me as funny that you expect an Officer to get seriously hurt or killed when a guy comes out of his house shooting at them..why is that ok with you? instead, you spew "conspiracy theories" and insist there is a cover up of some sorts. Maybe instead of armchair quarterbacking on here, you could "ruck up" put on the Kevlar Vest and gun to go to work everyday and put your rear end on the line and face some of the crap your Police Officers, that you treat with such disdain on here, go through. Maybe someone can take some shots at you. Your perspective would soon change. I doubt you would do that though. Blowhards like you don't understand words like "Honor" "sacrifice" and "service" You ought to thank your lucky stars you have Police as well trained and professional where you live. Shake their hand and say: "Thank you" so stop thinking there is some cover up around every corner, follow the rest of the Lemmings to Fantasy Island. I'm sure you will be happy with your like minded ilk and oxygen thieves, but please just move and go away if you don't like it.

copland - I had a visual in my head from your last post. (Like a mini-movie!) It had better be a damn big tree or catdog will be gone sooner than later.

yeah...even if he's behind a tree. do you know how big the tree was? you go stand behind a tree and let me come at you shooting. would like someone to end that threat or just let me keep shooting and eventually I'll get to that tree and get you. maybe you can get on the new Jesse Ventura show about conpiracy theories.

kid, it was probably water intoxication (also known as hyper-hydration or water poisoning) :)

I agree with emac. These crimes and a slew more are going to happen as the economy gets worse than it already is! JMO

Even if the cop was "behind a tree"?

catdog...I'm sure if he would have pointed his gun and shot it at the police then they would have shot him like they did in Walworth County. That's what happens.

I like reading these blogs yet get frustrated when people attack one another for their beliefs and opinions. This is another example of the hard times were in. Some people react differently. But for the grace of GOD there go I.

Why didn't they just shoot him like they do in Macon--oops Walworth County??

To clarify, I'm not saying that is a valid excuse for stupid behavior. But, it may well be the root cause.

SarahB1- I would think the local economy factors in somewhere in most or all of the recent stand-off's. You still have these kind of things when the economy is stable, I bet this trend keeps spiralling upward.

Ok Boob... I mean Bobb...Your comments are dumb. Only someone dumb would see the humor in a SWAT call. Maybe you should think before you speak and think about the entire situation because if your "SGT" friend told you the entire story, I bet he would have told you how serious and NOT FUNNY it was and HOW COLD it had to be standing outside.

And Beeferer - thanks for the heads up about boob...

Seems like there have been a lot of these standoffs lately. What's up with that?

Good thing nobody got hurt.

there is a glaring hole in this story. it says he was intoxicated...but it doesnt say what he was intoxicated on. i wonder what it was??

*oops- I meant bobb1951

cutebutnameless- That's just the way boob1951 is. Just ignore him.

bobb - was that suppose to be funny? I failed to find the humor in that. People could have been seriously injured. I'm glad you think you can crack jokes.
