The next town over from the town where I go to college got shot up last night

Sunday, May 20th, 2007

Someone holed up in a church tower and shot at police officers at a nearby courthouse. Google is all the fuck over it, but the first word I got was from frequent commenter Laurel, who prepared to return fire last night, and is probably mighty disappointed she didn’t get to.

Well, who do you think it was? A disgruntled college student trying to emulate Cho? A crazed white supremacist making a political statement? A mentally disturbed Iraq veteran who had one flashback too many? A distraught minister who decided to turn to violence after the death of Jerry Falwell? A charismatic cocaine dealer on the run from the law, making his last stand? The Pullman, Washington panty thief who stole $2000 worth of women’s underwear? All these people, and more, have a high probability of being in Moscow, Idaho, so I’m not entirely surprised this happened. Leave your theories in the comments?
