| #8 Nut jobs and drug addicts, often a combination. I like the way a lot of states do it. You can't plead an insanity defense if you show any signs of remorse or evidence of that you knew what you were doing was wrong. Here locally we've had a couple that tried insanity but the made the mistake of calling the cops after they did it. They are now serving very long sentences. Barely missed execution. |

| #5 After he refused, SARP officers fired at the man, striking him in the upper chest. I suspect a visit from DoJ is in the offing. [Witnesses] described the man as a white male Oh, never mind. |

| #4 Update: Andrew Joseph Todd, 20, of Mount Bethel, armed with two handguns and a machete was shot and killed inside the East Stroudsburg Walmart on Saturday night, according to state police. Todd entered the Walmart, on Lincoln Avenue, at 10:11 p.m. and began threatening customers and pointing a gun at them, witnesses told state police. Stroud Area Regional Police arrived minutes later and ordered Todd to drop his weapons. After he refused, SARP officers fired at the man, striking him in the upper chest. Police then did first aid on the man until EMS responded and took him to Pocono Medical Center where Monroe County Coroner Robert Allen pronounced him dead. State police said that no officers or customers were injured in the incident. At about 7:30 a.m. (EDT) Sunday, his name was released. [Witnesses] described the man as a white male, about 5 feet 7 inches tall, wearing a black baseball hat, a black bandanna over his face and a black shirt and jeans, and a machete hanging off his belt. |

| #3 "An armed society is a polite society. Except Afghanistan and Somalia also are armed societies, as are the 'hoods of our inner cities. Perhaps it should be modified to something like An armed, sane society is a polite society. |

| #1 As Robert Heinlein wrote: "An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life." It appears that the deceased individual forgot his manners. |
