Hush your mouth.Horrible situation.
Frankly, I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often, particularly in the eviction context.
For the love of all that's holy, just stop. You're making an issue where none exists. It's nothing more than a curiosity issue and you're acting like people are making wild-ass assumptions on conspiracy theories.So how is it related? He's not the first cop killer to wear armor, and he won't be the last. If he was wearing armor or wasn't wearing armor, would it enter into your decision making on if you'd support the armor ban or not? How about if I showed you confirmed cases of cop killers wearing body armor? Home invaders wearing armor? Armored car hold up men wearing armor? Would that matter?
That's what I'm asking. If it matters, why? If it turns out he wasn't wearing armor, then the cry will be its just demonization by the media, armor played to role. If he was wearing armor, the cry will be its an isolated incident, you can't regulate it, anyone can cut scrap steel, etc. So who cares? We aren't going to see any "militarization of civilians" threads, any threads about how he used armor to violate the property rights of his landlord and then to murder a cop, etc. With the civilian, the conversation here is always "its not about the tools, its about the actions" yet when its about the police, suddenly the tools become the focus for many people.
Do you want to know what my first thought was: Did he break in or did he use a key he still had in his possession, and if the latter, why in the hell did the landlord not swap locks?
