LINK This is a very tragic story. But one thing caught my eye, and I've always thought it's good to find humor in things:

Quote:
...minutes after the deputies were shot late Monday, Dumstorf posted a message on his MySpace page saying: "I just killed two cops. Goodbye
Who kills people, and makes sure to blog about it on myspace before offing themselves?

Classic rock, along with some honors, a tad of my space, and a few gun shots are capable volatile endings!

Shot in the back? Police body armor is designed to protect their front!

A Texas crowd beat a man to death after his friend hit a small girl with his car, police said today.
-
The incident came just days after six people were killed after an out-of-control drag car ploughed into a crowd of spectators at a children's charity event in Tennessee.
-
Police in Texas have still not determined how many people ganged up on David Morales, 40, who was killed after he tried to help the friend who was driving the car.
-
"Mr Morales could have been assaulted by two to 20 folks," said Harold Piatt, commander of the homicide unit with the Austin, Texas police.
-
"It's that same crowd mindset of being one face in a thousand. Things get out of hand pretty quickly and people don't have the good sense to stop."
-
The three- or four-year-old girl was struck at 9.30pm on Tuesday in a crowded apartment complex parking lot across the street from a park night where about two or three thousand people were attending a festival.
-
The driver of the car got out to check on the girl - who was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries - and quickly got into a fight with several men in the crowd. He managed to escape relatively unharmed by driving away, but Morales was beaten to death, Piatt said.
This really a shame. Only helping a friend and it looked like an accident because the man did get out of his car to check on the girl.

I don't understand how a person could get so messed up and confused that they would take another person's life in cold blood. I almost hate the kid and feel sorry for him at the same time, I hope the officer's family will be alright through this. Two lives the little punk took, hopefully someone slipped him some mind altering drug so he wouldn't be accountable for his actions (at least in the eyes of God, or whoever you chose to believe in or not believe).


And Texas!!!!! I feel embarrassed that the crazies who live there, (and that number must be a large percentage of Texas' population) are my countrymen, and who knows, maybe they feel the same about me. It was a terrible accident, but thats what it was, an accident, and the little girl wasn't in mortal danger from her injuries. But the great irony was that some poor guy who was just trying to protect a friend was killed.

I seriously don't get it, those incedents are just ridiculous. It just doesn't make any f*ckin sense.

What's really a shame, IMO, about that story Harkoliar, is that there are a lot of facts left out of that story.

It happened during a festival called "Juneteenth" which is a celebration of the Emancipation Proclamation. It's quite obvious that there are a lot of racial issues with that story, but they're never once mentioned. Too politically correct.
