With all the changes at Hostess, not only aren’t the HoHo’s lasting 3 weeks, they taste different, and not in a good way. I haven’t bought any for months after my last experience on leaving them on the shelf too long.

Texas style I guess. And it will stay fixed, that is for sure. We have all replace the entire run of CAT5 rather than waste time troubleshooting it. Perhaps there was another way, but probably not a quick obvious solution. Tear gas could have flushed him and caused more shooting, ditto pepper spray. He could have dialed a phone number and blew up more people at any time. Perhaps they could have put a tranquilizer rifle on the robot. This is a case where the walking robots under control of an oculus rift virtual control may have been useful, but imagine a future with walking humanoid robots packing heat. Put a bunch of armor on them, remote control Ironman. Ken, some of are old enough that we will probably not have to worry about Judge Dredd becoming reality...

In addition, there is no chance the Police Department even has it and the intelligence/military community aren’t going give it to them for a lone gunman. More than likely they determined by then that he was the lone shooter and there was no way they were going to put more police lives in danger to take him alive. They may also have made the determination that he was psychotic and did know that he had meth in his apartment and was probably still on it. In addition, they thought he had another explosive device and since the found the materials at his apartment, nobody was going to get close to him and they couldn’t risk it going off. There were no other options.

That is the default. Maybe not the right decision but I think folks down here prefer action over inaction. Talking past a few hours is likely to be considered inaction.
