They're alive and he's dead, who was out gunned?

They must have some pretty awesome training to keep their heads about them under pressure like that, and fire and hit the guy. I think I would just **** myself, cry and then try to run.

I would have just opted for traffic school.

Little coffee out the nose!

Glad that the police were not badly injured when this donkey boy decided to commit suicide.

That's the drill in Ohio too. If the owner of the car has a CCW they often call another car, too (so they say, I have no personal experience with that). What do you suggest would be a better procedure?

"He also had a black ski mask, black leather gloves. He had a number of books and pamphlets in his trunk, instructional videos on gun fighting and some other things," said Flaiz.

The makeshift library of books and videos read like a sickening instruction manual: advanced rifle techniques, the big book of homemade weapons, "Be your own undertaker" and "Acquiring new ID."

Evidently, and luckily, he wasn't a good student of those videos.
