"GASSVILLE, Ark. - A teenager suspected of a hatchet-and-gun attack in a Massachusetts gay bar shot and killed a small-town police officer and the teen's passenger before he was critically wounded in a gun battle with police Saturday, authorities said.

Jacob D. Robida, 18, was shot twice in the head, and "it doesn't look good right now," said Massachusetts prosecutor Paul Walsh Jr.

Walsh said the teen shot Officer Jim Sell, 56, twice during a traffic stop in this northern Arkansas town.

About 25 miles away, Robida sped over spike strips set out by state troopers but continued to drive with two punctured tires into downtown Norfork. Robida's car then careened into several parked vehicles to avoid a police barricade.

.... SNIP"

1. I wonder if George Bush will call for sanity? Or will Phelps get down

on his knees and pray to god for forgiveness.

2. That's one seriously messed up cat. n/t

3. Whose family might think he was just beiing a kid when he expressed

hatred of gays and a love of weapons and guns. Because it is acceptable.

They should have known he was seriously deranged.

In fact the President, Mr. Moral Values, should stand up and say: "to join a neo-natzi group that hates gays, to build up a weapon collection and hang swastikas on your wall - this is not acceptable. This is sickness".

What will the President say? NOTHING.

4. I'm not even sure if I want to call it sickness.

I think calling it a sickness somehow mitigates criminal responsibility, which I don't find very appealing from an emotional standpoint.

6. Sick puppy, sicko - I should have used those. And no - it doesn't

mitigate. I usually use the term freak. But since this was a child (oh no - another mitigating thing) I said sickness. And I was referring to before he comitted the crimes.

Neo-nazism is a sickness no? Why doesn't Bush get into that?

go dark.

8. Really good point.

I hate to see all these prison rape fantasies come up everytime an uncivilized criminal is caught. i notice they are especially likely to be bandied about when the criminal is a teen. This is a seriously messed up kid, he will be punished sufficiently without such barbaric wishes.

9. Oh I'm a bad person for saying this but....

Jacob D. Robida, 18, was shot twice in the head, and "it doesn't look good right now
Nazi psycho kid attacks innocent people out of hatred, then gets shot twice in the head when he attacks a cop?
Looks pretty good to me :)

10. Too much hate in the world.

They hate us, we hate them, and we got a President who thinks a fetus is more important than a disabled person. See for all the antichoice rhetoric it's de-evolving humanity. People now think that embryos are more fracking important than a living breathing human. God I miss Presidents Carter and Clinton. I miss humanity as a whole.

11. Well if the fucker manages to survive...

hopefully he will enjoy his prison stay as a crippled tard.

13. Well I heard that he died...

good thing that someone with a gun was able to stop him.

12. Does Arkansas have the death penalty? n/t
