Now, WAIT A MINUTE... I'm BOTH a deranged trucker, AND a deranged vet. And, I do not go around killing anyone. Don't go giving the rest of us a bad name just because he's simply deranged and being a trucker or being a vet has absolutely nothing to do with it. :wink:

You're absolutely right! He was also a deranged GUN NUT! :lol:

Couldn't go hunting with a standard pump shotgun..... had to have a "semi-automatic!" :wink:

But, in all honesty, give the other folks a whole lot of credit. Some nut comes in and starts blowing people away, and they're willing to MOB him and disarm him. A lot of the other shootings I've heard of, the people began to scatter. This time, they went for him and stopped him in his tracks. How much do you want to bet, some of them were also vets that had seen action along the front lines. You think about the courage it takes to face up to someone with a weapon and take it away from him. I have little doubt that if they had not done so, more of them would have been wounded or dead. Give those folks a round of applause, a cheer, a dozen "atta-boys", a cigar... But give them a whole lot of credit for what they did.

I definitely agree with you windwalker, I give these people 4 thumbs up (not that I have 4 thumbs) but what they did was definitely heroic.

I also see where others are coming from about the job. My only question now is if he was so frustrated with not being able to get a job why take it out on the church regardless of hating the whole liberal thing. Why not go to a trucking company that fired him or refused to hire him and do his rampage? I'm thinking that either they are using him to smear the trucking industry or his ex has a lot more to do with this than they are saying. Or maybe I'm just reading more into this than what it really is.
