Amazing tale of a desperate WWII pilot’s encounter with a German flying ace

 

[krsmith16]

It's not everyday that a former officer gets put to the needle:

But that's not the most bizarre. Here's a quote from his attorney:

"I'm not admitting that he did any of that, but let's say he did," said Guralnick. "He was a victim of the time. The people he was dealing with were trash."

The fuck did he say? This guy represents people whose lives are at stake? Scary shit.

That attorney is a dick.


I was about 10 years old in Miami/Ft Lauderdale when he was killing people. I don't remember this.

I suppose most have heard already, but 26 killed at an elementary school by a lone gunman.

Sickening.

That's one of the more fucked up stories when it comes to school shootings. So sad.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Not even shocking anymore. World is fucked. Mass murder of young people will happen like twice a year until we die.

Shooter's parent has been found dead in CT home.

This dude probably wasn't even connected to social networking.

Stay classy, Twitter.

Tweets like this are being retweeted more than anything else:

I doubt that bastard was thinking, "hopefully I trend on Twitter". The guy snapped mentally. Drove from NJ after killing his dad, killed his mom, and then opened fire and killed 20 kids at an elementary school.

 

[JohaadDBC]

Shooter's brother dead.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

My experiences with Twitter have taught me that people are overwhelmingly stupid.



A murder-suicide is what made you believe the death penalty would deter crime?

 

[ChibCU]

It's the brother?!?! wtf is going on

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Mother was kindergarten teacher, and most of the dead children were her students. He probably made his mom watch as he executed her students before executing her. Father and one brother have been found dead elsewhere. Girlfriend and another friend are missing.

I think putting this kind of stuff on twitter is over the top. Hashtags and @'s for something like this, coming from The Speaker, just seem silly to me.
