[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] Actually, First, I didn't notice that at all. Then again, maybe it's cuz the media hates the Republican Party and wants to dump all Republicans into a big black cauldron and boil them alive, huh? Honestly, except for a quick blurb on the radio this morning, I haven't heard ANYTHING about the topic at all today. I am susprised that he was shot [i]in the knee[/i], however. So much for saying that you've got to "shoot to kill" because shooting an arm or leg is too hard to hit though, huh? I think if people are questioning the shooting, it might be in the vein of, "you talked to him for 15 minutes and THEN shot him?" Now, when the USSS completes its investigation and releases more info, (meaning we've got more knowledge of the situation), we might find out the dude was about to try and run onto the White House grounds, in which case the action would be clearly justified. I think some people now just think the USSS agent just decided "fuck it" and shot the dude. Now, I'm certain that's not what happened, but [i]no one[/i] on this BBoard (unless they're DC Police, Park Police, or Secret Service), knows exactly what happened, so maybe we should not speculate? President Bush, as I understand it, was far away from the suspect. Even if the man had fired, the most that would've happened is a touch up on the W.H. There are (as I understand it), conflicted reports as to whether or not the suspect had opened fire or not. Simply pointing a gun at the W.H. doesn't seem reason enough to shoot him, as First suggests. I don't know what you're talking about, shooting the guy with the knife. If you're referring to the incident at the Lexington Market in Baltimore a few years back, where a police officer shot and killed a suspect waving a knife around, the media [i]did[/i] make a [i]very[/i] big deal of it. The police were sued by the suspect's family, IIRC. On the other hand, in Howard County, the same thing happened and nothing came of it. Drunk came at cop with knife, cop fired one round into chest, drunk died. Cop was cleared, and is back on duty. Except for a blurb in the [i]Columbia Flier[/i] and a quick mention on the news, there was no mention of it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
