You read and interpreted the article the same as I did.
The guy had his own mini revolution. While I do not agree with his tactics he certainly may wake up some city councils to the fact they should pay attention to the taxpayers and residents of there respective communities.

The Kirkwood shooting incident is an example of frustration manifested into action. It will be repeated more and more in the future because of the ever increasing pressure of governmental restrictions placed on us, and the continual erosion of our basic freedoms. I''ve participated in hundreds of local and state government meetings over the years, both as an official and as a citizen participant, and I''ve seen a trend lately where basically good citizens are pushed to the limit by corrupt and/or inept government officials that are supposed to be responsible for enacting ordinances and making decisions for us. And Kirkwood is just one example of people being pushed to the limit. We will not know where that limit is for each person or what it will take to make an ordinary person go over the edge. But, the more our freedoms are taken away or removed, and the more we allow our government to control even simple things in our lives, the more you will see Kirkwood repeated time and again. Politicians from large metro areas, as well as small townships, better start thinking more carefully before they act and start to REALLY listen to the people they are serving, or Kirkwood will be repeated again and again, and there will be little we can do to stop it.

The article points out between the lines that this guy was being deprived of his rights. The patriot act does the same to the rest of us. Someday I see it repealed through legal means, but there are more folks out there who want to change thing themselves. Stay tuned.

I happen to support and defend our president. Wht did you bring up nafta? Do you know what your talking about?

according to the Demonboobs, nothing took place in the history books before 7 years ago. This is About what we should expect from them.

[xlib]

Would one of you idiots explain to me what the Patriot Act has to do with this?? I''ve read the article twice and it seems to me that this guy just had a grudge against the city officials.
Somehow some of you have managed to turn this into being Bush''s fault. That is just plain crazy. Then again, being liberals.......

[xlib]

hey walt-whatever-nafta was passed by bubba, not Bush 1. As usual, you and your party want to rewrite history. Tell us, who was in office when Columbine occured?? Who? How very STUPID to blame this on the President, how very, very stupid. Then again, I guess you are a democrat. Enough said.

Here there is strict gun control and very little gun crime.

Posted by erasmus6

If gun control is so strict, why is there any gun crime at all? You say "very little" who defines very little?

My point obviously is, even using you own words, you admit, gun control does not work!!!

[thgdriver]

This is just the beginning, the patriot act is robing us all of our rights. This guy had his own mini revolution, there are more to come. Stay tuned.

With all the violence appearing lately, I am reminded of the early 1990''s when sadly enough, another Bush, the Great Emperor Bush I was sitting on the throne in the Oval Office.

Back then, unemployment was "officially" approaching 9% (unofficially it was close to 17%), inflation was in double digits, and the Great Emperor Bush I was pushing hard for Congress to ratify NAFTA, officially saying it would make imports cheaper to Americans, but unofficially he was eager to export millions of US jobs overseas.

People with 20, 30, 40 years senority were losing their jobs because their employer suddenly considered them an "expense" rather than an asset, and the Bushies then, just as now, weren''t doing a thing to stop it. So hurt, angry, and devasted, these old-time now ex-employees went home, got their guns, and went back to their former employer and "blew away" anybody who got in their way, including the boss who fired them, then blew themselves away because they had nothing left to live for!

History is repeating itself except that everyone knows who the culprit is in this (the Great Emperor Bush II an all his fellow "Bushies"). Because these people are "unapproachable" except to select few neocon Fascist Republicans and "staged" appearances with stupidly-loyal neocons, angry people are lashing out at whoever is reachable and that is US!

SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!!

I look at it this way: Every idiot in America can own a gun, the mentally disturbed and immature children. Your gun crime is out of control and getting worse every day.

Here there is strict gun control and very little gun crime.

[facts6]

""In Great Britain strict gun laws are uniformly enforced throughout the country.We need to do that in America."" You mean like in NYC where John Lennon was shot down in cold-blood murder? Perhaps you could just move there instead of GB. Get the hang of the subway system, ride it late at night.

Stuff your bible where the sun don''t shine!

[berniepeders]

This is getting nuts.Does this happen every few weeks in England ?No. In Great Britain strict gun laws are uniformly enforced throughout the country.We need to do that in America. Posted by Iceman_1960 at 10:46 PM : Feb 07, 2008

Hey, if GBs such a great place, what are you doin'' here? Go live there if you don''t like it here, p u s s y.

[facts6]

This isn''t about guns. There was no voice of reason in his family. Federal lawsuits based on race have proved hugely profitable and attention getting in a few cases. Like waiting on that one kid to make it to the pros. When we are outraged and there is a Greek chorus validating our cause ... This was about the big score.

"But Cookie said it was a matter of principle with him and that he wanted to sue the city for millions of dollars."

It would seem it wasn''t a fight about freedom so much as a fight about greed. It was the money that sent him over the edge, not the limitations on his right to rant at council meetings.

Have you seen film of this guy ranting at the meetings? It''s amazing that they didn''t figure out he had mental issues long before he picked up the gun.
