The only reason this was covered so well was we have never had anything like that happen here..(like it never happened anywhere else) Watching the news I got the story as to why the man did what he did...a custody hearing,not paying child support and he was afraid he was gonna go to jail. So he decides to buy a bullet proof vest, a gun similar to an ak-47 and he kills his ex wife, several officers and kills a man who became a hero by stopping him from shooting his son. Insanity. The really dumb thing is his cousin got on the news and said I think he thought this is the only way to go because thats the way Hispanic people think. Uh Hello...I think not. So Tyler Texas has nut jobs too! Looking for Earth Prime.

There's often a lot of desperation in Family Court situations - add guns and watch out. Some comment from the cousin - keep an eye on him! So, what's the good news from Tyler? Holy Cats of Egypt!

That's horrible. :-( Unfortunately, that's not so surprising. That's one of the unfortunate side-effects of being able to buy guns freely in the USA. :-( Ze Frainch Legion fan

And all the more scary for having happened practically down the street from you. Grife.

What I didn't notice was that it took place in TYLER, Texas! You be careful, 'Gazer! Visit the FULL FRONTAL FANDANGO & laugh along with Lash at http://lashlaugh.wordpress.com/

Ironically, we were in the midst of a similar incident in recent weeks - a teen started shooting people at a mall, and police later found videotapes of him and his friends making pipe bombs. Again, in a place where that sort of thing "doesn't happen." The childhood friend Exnihil never had.

Have faith that there are still more people looking to do positive things in the world (and maybe there'd be even more if people read more comics...)
