=======================================
Dearest John,

JH> Get stuffed.  

Shame on you, John Hull.  Shame on you!

JH> It was a good story, 

It was a lot of fabrication.

JH> I didn't post the original, I only forwarded it from a local echo.

Yet, you made no mention of your source in your original post.
Nor did you distinguish your comments from what you were forwarding.
So let's review, John!

Hull: This attempted robbery happened in 2005.

Snopes:  It happened in 1990.  It's a matter of record.


Hull: The would-be robber used a .22 target pistol.

Snopes:  His weapon was  a .38-caliber semiautomatic pistol. 
         It wasn't a .22 target pistol.  Who should we believe?


Hull: The subsequent autopsy revealed 23 gunshot wounds. 
 
Snopes:  He was shot three times in the chest and once in the arm. 


Hull: The clerk returned fire with a .50 Desert Eagle

Snopes:  The clerk fired a 10mm semiautomatic pistol. 
         Not a .50 Desert Eagle.


Hull: Several customers also drew their guns and fired.

Snopes:  Renton police Capt. Don Persson said several customers 
         had guns and pulled them, but they didn't shoot.  The
         only ones involved in the exchange of lead were the
         would-be robber, the clerk and the police officer.


Hull: Paramedics pronounced him dead on the scene.

Snopes: He died in the hospital about four hours after the shooting


Hull: www.snopes.com isn't a credible source.

Hull's report exhibits at least six errors.  Who lacks credibility??
Hull's source is "a local chat echo."
Snopes cites these sources and names names.

 Duncan, Don and Christy Scattarella.   
 "Man Killed in Robbery Attempt."
   The Seattle Times.   4 February 1990   (p. A1).

 Scattarella, Christy.   "Inquest: Officer Didn't Fire Fatal Shot."
   The Seattle Times.   10 May 1990   (p. C4).

 Shatzkin, Kate.   "Officer in Store Shootout Identified."
   The Seattle Times.   5 February 1990   (p. B1).

JH> This story needs no explanation.

It's painfully obvious that you were wrong, several times over.


JH> the piece of crap perp got exactly what he deserved.  

Perhaps, John.  But did you know that the "piece of crap perp" 
suffered from a mental disorder?  That was reported in the 
original accounts of the event.

> His family said he suffered from a mental disorder
> that caused him to be irrational at times.
