Tragedy in Washington State

And finally, Goober’s posting orgy comes to an end, with one post about a massive sadness that has landed on all of us citizens of the Evergreen State. You’ve all heard about the 4 officers that were gunned down earlier this week, and by now, I’m sure you’ve heard that the bastard that did it is just now working his way through the fifth level of hell on his way to his eternal place of residence. I wanted to comment that his death doesn’t make it right, but it certainly brings an awesome sense of closure to the situation. There are people on the west side of the mountains (we call it the LEFT side for a reason, BTW) who are calling for the cop who shot him to be arrested for murder. You see, the bastard didn’t shoot back, all he did was try to run away. Normally, if a cop shot a guy trying to run away, I would be pissed off, too – but in this case, common sense tells me to make an exception. It isn’t as if the guy had made it abundantly clear that he was a serious danger. I would have capped him, too. So, I hereby call for this cop to get a medal, a commendation, and two weeks paid vacation. Who’s with me?
