i thought this is why stun guns exist.

No mention on the race of the victim?

None that I can find.

A knife is a lethal weapon. According to the Use Of Force model, you match force with force. Not every officer carries a stun gun, either. It’s a sad outcome, but not unexpected.

If someone’s charging you with a knife, don’t trust the stun gun.

If someone was coming at me with a knife I wouldn’t trust anything that didn’t apply a physical force against their motion. A stun gun can stop a persons control but it doesn’t do anything about their momentum.

Nah. Typical HWY 99 shenanigans.

To be fair, knife guy probably wasn’t on PCP. PCP is a hell of a drug.

Typical Highway 99!

That’s why I said can and not will.

Sadly, yes. My wife works not too far from there and there’s some unsavory folks around there but ISIS sympathizers they are not. Just methy things.

Luckily I live pretty far from 99, but as of right now, I’m only a couple of blocks from the crime scene.

Knowing the area, he was probably on meth.

Yeah it’s goofing up traffic by Mrs. SB’s office. She gets “odd” folks in her building all the time asking to use the bathroom or a phone. They steal coffee creamers and sugar from her lobby.

It’s a shit day. Every year at our school we have a suicide or homicide.

I’m reading about it on The Seattle Times. They’re reporting that a couple of minutes before the shooting, he was in a Western Carpet Center asking to use the bathroom, then started making comments about the Middle East.

I really wish people would stop referring to Missouri as the Middle East.

Is Missouri both “east” and “middle?”

Spaceball-Two > TheHondaBro 01/30/2017 at 17:18

It’s more like 3/4 East and upper middle.

Damn.

“Upper Middle-3/4 East” doesn’t quite roll off the tongue as well though.

No it doesn’t

The school had the god damn nerve to state its student size and demographics during a email for the student’s funeral. Last year a student was shot in his frat house for a failed robbery. Two years ago a student committed suicide off the parking deck’s 8th floor. We rank at the #3 most depressed school in the us.

That’s really fucking sad.

I can’t wait to leave and tell the alumni association to go fuck itself for having such a depressing shithole. The sad part I’m only happy when I leave campus in my joop.

Impossible to be sad in a Joop.

It’s a glimmer of hope in a sea of shit.
