    Reminds me of the guy who tried to break into a secure building with a gun , became frustrated by the bullet proof glass, and then hid in a field in the middle of his shoot-out with the cops to post some updates about his shoot-out.

    This kind of guy is just going to become a thing in American culture now, I guess.

      Honestly if there wasn't going to be innocent people caught in the crossfire, I'd be all for right-wing nutters starting shootouts with cops to be a thing. Hearing about a dead frothingfash or an officer-down on the news wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

      Not even a gun. It was a fucking nail gun. Half-assed approach to domestic terrorism these days.

      Except that these are completely different. In this case the guys home was broken into by a bunch of uniformed gangsters
