        @BoingBoing @neilhimself There was no shooting in the theater. Hatchet and pepper spray. Shot by police upon exit from theater.

        @MaherFMA @neilhimself @BoingBoing but...is that necessary force? Or maybe is that a little extreme for having a hatchet and pepper spray?

        @furburn @MaherFMA @neilhimself @BoingBoing Do you expect police to meet a hatchet wielder with a nightstick and a takedown hold?

        @neilhimself Since you've been to more countries than I have, allow me to ask, how does that usually turn out? I'll take your word for it.

        @mrburkemath really well. Fewer dead cops and fewer people killed by police.

        @neilhimself I said I'd take ur word for it, but hard to believe fewer dead cops in these incidents. How about serious injuries to cops?

        @mrburkemath Police in other countries are trained to, eg, deal with mentally ill: http://www.businessinsider.com/why-do-us-police-kill-so-many-people-2014-8 …

        @BoingBoing When will the press stop profiling the killers and spreading the stories that inspire these copycats? Snuff porn has a price!
