Shootout in McKinney

Authorities said the incident began about 9 a.m., when 29-year-old Patrick Gray Sharp pulled his truck, which was hauling a trailer, in front of the Department of Public Safety building in McKinney, about 30 miles north of Dallas.
Sharp set the truck on fire, igniting ammunition inside the vehicle in what police believe was a tactic to draw people out of the building, Kowalski said. Sharp also attempted to set fire to the truck's trailer, which was carrying wood chips, road flares, gasoline and ammonium nitrate fertilizer, but it failed to ignite, Kowalski said.

Hmmm, Patrick Gray Sharp doesn't sound like an illegal alien, or a Muslim, so I guess he was just another Texas wacko. They speculate the truck fire was to draw the cops outside where he could shoot them, or they would get blown up by his trailer bomb that didn't work.
When the cops didn't come out he took some shots at the college security office across the street, then likely killed himself.

Here's the 18 minutes of news conference.

Ugh, this kind of stuff hits home. I've already eyed the "panic button" here at work, a very angry person who wasn't planning to understand no matter how I tried to explain it. The Ohio wackos are wacko wacko wacko.

You guys need the Subway security team.

Shawnee123 · 08-18-2010, 08:37 AM

Like, the sandwich shop?

We do have our own police force. I feel much better when they're out and about in our area.

It pisses me off. It's like the asshats driving like maniacs down the highway. Listen, if you don't value your life that's just fine, but have one freaking ounce of character and don't take me down with your dumbass. There are a few people who would actually MISS me.

I guess this guy proved something with his little show. I don't know what, but I hope his last thoughts were about what a loser he is...was.

Humans can be the suxxors.

Ohhhh!

I had one of our guy counselors come to talk to the guy. He still didn't tell the guy what he wanted to hear (who's a goo' boy. Him is. Yes him is!) but he didn't seem ready to come across the desk and punch him, either.

Dude, I did not drop over 25% of your classes. That's all on you.

A pretty dramatic account:

A bloodbath is averted as shooter tries to lure people out of McKinney police HQ, sprays building with gunfire

Wow, they really did their research...they checked his myspace!

Quote:

Sharp had a MySpace page that showed him holding a number of firearms. One caption read, "I love guns more than toothpaste."

Another photo showed a bullet-riddled steel plate. The caption read, "What if that was your face?" A third image showed a target with a photo of Osama bin Laden.

The page was last updated July 8. It described the owner as "fermented," one of the angriest of the options. It was made private Tuesday afternoon, and later removed entirely.

speaks volumes.

We had drive by shooting in lil old Adelaide a few weeks back. Some yobs let fly at a bus that was picking up from a bus stop, gave it a good spraying.

Luckily, the driver had his window closed because it was winter and the nails from the automatic nail gun bounced off.

In the same week, someone put some rivets through a shop window, and someone else was playing silly buggers with a slingshot to similar effect.

Seriously, though, the Hells Angels and a rival (probably splinter) gang, the New Boys, have been shooting up each other's front doors lately, no one hurt yet but sooner or later... we'll be down by a few dodgy individuals. I'll send flowers.

And everything's bigger, so it stands to reason you'd have bigger wackos. (disclaimer: wackos are world-wide. World-wide wackos. In Ohio we call them "average citizens.")

classicman · 08-19-2010, 10:25 AM

lol - When did you become a wacko, mtp? I missed the email.

Truthfully, 80% of all wackos are Texans.
