I assume you are once again referring to Bernhard Goetz when you say idiots
running around shooting people etc. etc.  At least that type of person does
not inflict bodily harm for kicks.  Why can't you screaming bleeding heart
liberals realize that Goetz did what he thought he had to do not what you
wanted him to do.  So what if people think he's a hero (I personally do not)
in this day and age all people need heroes no matter how shallow.  Don't you
remember playing Jesse James when you were younger?  Or did you always play
Dudley Do Right? :-)  Jesse James was a far cry from a true hero but kids 
still admired him.

Here's something that will really have you bleeding heart liberals screaming.
On the way to work this morning I heard a news report that an unidentified man
shot a knife wielding teenager who was trying to rob him.  That's all the 
details they gave.
