Gun Battle - Police Versus 107 Year-Old

[Rain Man]

I blame video games. Dude probably spent all of his free time playing some World I first-person shooter running through the Argonne and Belleau Wood.

I would also think that if you managed to keep yourself out of trouble for 107 years, you'd be a pretty safe bet to not get into a gun battle with police. But I guess everyone eventually has a limit before they snap.

(CNN) -- A man who police said was 107 years old was killed in a confrontation with SWAT officers Saturday night.
Police were called to a home in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, where suspect Monroe Isadore was.

"When they arrived, they were able to determine that an aggravated assault had occurred against two people at the residence," Lt. David E. Price, a Pine Bluff police spokesman, said in a statement.

The two victims were led out of the house.

It was not clear what role the suspect had in the aggravated assaults or what they were.

When officers approached a bedroom where Isadore was hiding, he fired through the door, authorities said.

None of the police officers was hit by the gunfire. They retreated to a safer area and called for additional help, including SWAT officers who started negotiations with the suspect.

SWAT officers slipped a camera into the room where Isadore was holed up and saw he was armed with a handgun, Price said.

After unsuccessful negotiations, officers slipped gas into the room through a window, he said, and Isadore fired rounds at them.

The officers broke the bedroom door and hurled in a distraction device, and Isadore fired at them again, according to the spokesman's statement.
Officers returned fire, killing him.

It's unclear what distraction device was used. No more information was immediately available. CNN called the police department, but could not reach anyone.

In 2010, there were about 53,000 people over age 100 in the United States, according to the latest Census numbers. Only 8% of them were older than 104.

You really want to stick with that story? Really?

If he's this mentally incompetent should he really have possession of a firearm?

That's like you possessing a computer with internet access.

Oh, wait...

If you can name one 107+ white person shot and killed by the police, I'll stop posting for a month. 50 did not give a single solitary **** whether he had the physical and mental capacities to respond appropriately to their use of force.

Nah...we'll just set the maximum capacity for age at 30 years old. When they hit 30 we won't call it 'death' we'll call it renewal!

Jeez, just sit there and wait for nap time. No need to kill the old coot. Seriously, surround the ****in' house and wait. Dude ain't gonna run anywhere...

I have no clue if the guy just went nuts or what. I just know there was a day and age when your local sheriff could find a way to disarm the crazy 107 year old in town without terrifying the guy into retreating into a room where he feels the need to shoot through a closed door at an unknown target beyond.

The guy sees a large group of ninjas in his living room, retreats, and hears a cacophony of noise on the other side of his door.

How about standing down an hour or two and seeing if the old coot can be talked to.

Nope. Not in the modern jackbooted Nazi police state we have today. S.W.A.T captain Adolph is in tactical mode and he really needs to deliver some rounds down range, so lets gas the old coot than all of them bust through his bedroom door.

WTF did they think would happen when they busted down his bedroom door?

I am really ashamed of my government today. The militarization of the modern police state is just repulsive to me. Even my stinking dog catchers, who now go by the ominous title "Animal Control Officer", even they dress like Army Rangers today.

Were just ****ed. Welcome to the police state Hans. Achtung! Halt! Papers please or be gunned down by the nazi jackbooted thugs.

**** me.

Rain Man: Here's the kind of feedback you would have gotten if you would have posted this story in the CP DC section:

"WHAT IS YOUR INTENT IN POSTING AN ARTICLE LIKE THAT? That 107 year old man has every right to arm himself in his own home. And he should have the right to commit SWAT suicide if he wants. He probably told the SWAT team they'd have to pry that gun from his cold dead fingers, which of course, they did. How dare you post an article that discusses law enforcement and gun rights? Commie! Socialist! Islamo-Fascist! Socialist Islamo-Fascist Commie! What are you? Some kind of PHONY PRICK?"

So it's a good thing this isn't posted the DC section.....

Interestingly, he would have been too old to be drafted during WWII unless they got him in the month or so after Pearl Harbor.

If I had posted it in the fantasy/casino section, my feedback would have been:

"Dammit, I'm going to have to drop him now. Anyone got an extra 107 year-old that they want to trade?"

Oh Rain Man: Forgot to add: LIBERAL MEDIA!!!

And if youd have posted it, your thread title would have been something like "Bloodthirsty cops send swat team to kick in sweet innocent elderly man's door, execute him"
