  1. This will become an epidemic in some portions of the nation.

  2. Now, police departments will use this an excuse to further deprive minority neighborhoods from 911 responses. You can hear it now from Hannity and Rush: “Police are being killed in these bad areas of town, so the thing to do is not show up when calls come in from certain zip codes”. This will be the new thing to demonize all minorities and even give more excuses to cops to kill people in their homes:

    Cop: I showed up to a house that reported a burglar and I had to shoot the home owner 'cause he may have wanted to shoot me first. Oh, yeah, and I thought he had a gun. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

  3. Why did he bother to call the police? He was going to kill anything that moved. That would have taken care of any burglar as well as half of the neighborhood.

  4. Maybe because–oh I don’t know–he wanted to shoot a cop?

  5. I’m from the south and read the “in some portions of the nation,” as “where ammosexuals congregate.” Of course, I don’t have a chip on my shoulder.
