    Strange... sounds like the BG just snapped.

    Wow, sounds like a horrifying incident but good that the BG was able to be taken out with no major injuries to the innocents.

    Crazy people. The dead guy was probably either on drugs or very sick, but the use of force appears
    more than appropriate. 1) Trying to grab the kid; 2) choking out the dad; 3)refusing to stop the choke

    This does not sound like a BG, he sounds like a mentally imbalanced person that snapped... These are the ones that are dangerous... They don't know what they do!

    places left where it still is a nice, quiet area:

    cemetary's....but just for those that have perfected remaining very, very still
    ISS...though there was one undock umented fistacuffs which occured over 17 countries
    ...and lasted from sunup to sundown. half a day aint as long as it use to be.
    parts of Montana--37,000 acres where im raising my lonely dental floss
    as i've noticed about others--that they do not always do as i think they will nor often as they say they will.
    this not only makes life interesting, it makes it dangerous too.

    Bad situation but good self-defense shoot.

    People are nuts and getting worse.

    Most likely the dead guy was on some kind of drug, maybe meth or crack cocaine.

    It seems like this stuff is reaching epidemic proportions everywhere. Drugs, and the crime associated with them.

    Have to agree with you. Shame lethal force was needed to stop him.

    The paper needs to hire a journalist that actually knows how to properly construct a news story.

    AMEN, I can hardly make out the story from the way it was written.
    Lord Help us if that's the best story the Journalist can do. Something tells me he's bound to either be Unemployed or President some day.
    And where is his Editor? Did he actually read this before they went to print/ post this story?
    Shameful!
    What have you done to prepare for the end of civilization as we know it?

    I think that they are using unpaid interns who seem to have texting down and not true writing skills. I notice this more and more over more and more websites.
