#1 A shame the cops gave him a chance to drop the gun. Sounds like there was a brief, golden, opportunity for "defensive" shots against an armed offender. Could'a saved the public the cost of a trial and delivered true justice.

#5 There was a story out of Britian some yeas ago.

A man returning home saw several thieves in his garage, he called the cops who said,"No officers are available"

He thought about it a minute or so, re-called and said"Don't bother, I've shot them all"

Four cars hit his street, a helicopter, and an armed response unit, quickly aprehending the crooks, then the head cop said "I thought you said you'd shot them all?"
Homeowner replied, "I thought you said there were no officers available?"

#7 Another unfortunate lesson in this story: women who date four-time losers usually don't do well. Take note.

#8 Make sure all the his new prison-mates know how he bravely, and deliberately shot an innocent little girl six times... I'm sure that'll make him real welcome and a popular man - at least behind the laundry machines...

And why did the 911 operator hang up the first time? Where were the police? I think a lot of answers are needed here.
