Must be that blood in the streets they were talking about

A man steals a rifle from a police car (don’t they lock those things?) and starts shooting at people in a neighborhood:

A stolen squad car and gun rampage has the King County sheriff’s office scrambling for ways to keep their weapons from falling into the hands of crooks.

Folks here are still shaken by the fact the gunman walked through a Kent neighborhood shooting the stolen SWAT rifle. They say it could have easily turned deadly.

Police say it was 33-year-old Edgar Garcia who broke into a sheriff’s patrol car, found an extra set of keys and took off with it.

He got a sniper rifle from the SWAT team out of the trunk and allegedly shot and wounded Mike Dubuc in the right arm.

He then looked for other targets.

It gets better:

“He was shooting to kill,” neighbor Chad Todd said. “And then he pointed it at me and I ran over my fence to get my assault rifle. By the time I got that he was over in the woods, so I came here with my pistol to see if Mike was all right.”

Too bad Chad didn’t get him.

    Wouldn’t that have been the karmic justice to end all karmic justices (re: Assault weapons, that is)?

    A private citizen, with their privately owned assault rifle, stops a criminal using an assault rifle illegally obtained from a police car???

    Of course, if it had happened that way the story would have disappeared into a journalistic black hole…

    If we had only banned police officers this senseless tragedy could have been averted…

    Reckon he was upset with the 65 10 rule?

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
