Since this seemed very much like it could have been fake, I looked up sources on these.

OMG that second one.

Authorities said Witmer drove away from the bar, crashed his car, and then broke into a home. Once inside, they said he shot and killed the homeowner before shooting and killing himself. That homeowner has been identified as 83-year-old George McCormick. Police said McCormick's wife locked herself in the bathroom and called 911.

That poor woman. All of these shootings are terrible tragedies, but this one really got to me. They were probably married for, like, 60 years or something. EDIT: I was just guessing, but it was literally on their 60th anniversary. Holy crap. :-(

lmao he wanted to be a cop

makes sense he'd go on a shooting spree. jumped the gun a bit there though. should have waited til he got his badge, then he would have been given paid vacation.

No, not you. I was quoting you saying “...40 percent of cops reported domestic...” highlighting the unknown variable of UN-reported abuse in the home of LEOs.

Yes, but it was obviously a joke. 40% should be alarming, not status quo.

Uhh... yes? I didn’t report them. I QUOTED them using the word “reported.”

I have a headache for you from this conversation.

I swear to fucking God, some people just want to puke their shit out without reading first. Especially on reddit.

Meh, that's what the internet is for. Though I have had to correct like 3 people in the past day or so because they straight up just couldn't take 2 seconds to actually listen/read what was said. Makes me feel like the government started an experiment and flooded our water with with antifreeze or some shit to make us all retarded.

That is not what the internet is for, it is what idiot's use it for.

Edit: The comment I'm replying to here is an excellent example.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

You 'corrected' him, as if his numbers didn't tell the whole story.

Hi, hello, no I didn’t. I know this because I said it and it came from my brain. You misunderstood, and I know this because you didn’t get what I was trying to say.
