How many more?

The after-the-fact sniper? That guy?

It's not unexpected that some loose cannon would respond to a constant drumbeat of unprovoked attacks in an equally violent manner. Obviously, too many homicidal cranks have access to lethal weapons.

Realize that we have millions of citizens with the ability to easily execute far more deadly attacks, without the use of firearms.

And I'm wondering what the outcome of this approach by the police to terminate their negotiations will be:

They sent in a robot, a drone, with a bomb, and blew the fellow up.

Given the low cost of such technologies today, and the large number of trained people who know how to create improvised explosive and chemical weapons, I'm sort of worried we've crossed the bridge.

(I just had a 4 hour class/drill in dealing such things last night, by purest coincidence. It was sort of cold and wet and dismal.)
