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.

Becoming Grand Nagus changed you, Rom. :( I'd rather see the nutters get therapy and the corrupt cops get fired.

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

Apparently they can be good for getting through safety glass that would stop bullets? Idk

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