He last updated FB about four hours ago.

That's about the last time anyone has heard from him here, right?

[Edwardo Piet]

They're at his address but there have been no further updates. They just know the police are at his address. They told me it is probably a good sign that there are no further updates on the situation besides the police being at his address. They said to call back again in half an hour earliest, hour latest.

So, let me see if I understand this. In Britain, when the police go to check on someone who is suicidal they don't just shoot them? What a remarkably novel concept.

We should try that here.

The basic police officers don't even have guns here.

Thank you so much for stepping in for your shift on the watch, Hammy.

It seems amazingly civilized in comparison.

And by that I mean compared to this......

Curly Spry was refusing to go to his appointment. He was suicidal, off his medication and had a gun, his wife said.
Call 911, the doctor’s staff instructed her.
Less than an hour later, Curly Spry was dead. He had been shot 11 times by troopers with the West Virginia State Police, according to a lawsuit filed by Donna Spry last month in Kanawha County Circuit Court.

Some things really don't need to be politicized, bud. C'mon now, you've already got your own threads for this.

No, seriously, this ain't the time nor place. Beat your hobby-horse somewhere else, for fuck's sake.

Still here. Still waiting. Not giving up on you, Steve.

I am just sorry I didn't see Losty's messages sooner and the browser tab I was looking at wasn't AF so I didn't see Jenny's PM until after Losty had called me to get my attention. Thank the FSM for Losty's voice.
