 MT> Dearest John,

 JH>> Get stuffed.  

 MT> Shame on you, John Hull.  Shame on you!

 JH>> It was a good story, 

 MT> It was a lot of fabrication.

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

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

No, you review, you obviously get such a thrill from it, we wouldn't want to
deprive you of any pleasure.  

 MT> Hull: This attempted robbery happened in 2005.

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

So what?

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

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

What difference does it make?  And for the record, what cartridge would a .38
caliber semiauto be?  You're so goddamn smart, do tell us what Snopes had to
say.  I'll tell you what the answer should be:  there are no .38 caliber
semiautos commonly available in the US except for one - the Colt .38 Super. 
That's a very uncommon pistol, such that it would have been noted in any news
article.  What is more likely is that it was a .38 caliber revolver.


 MT> Hull: The subsequent autopsy revealed 23 gunshot wounds. 

 MT> Snopes:  He was shot three times in the chest and once in the arm. 

Got shot more than once though, which is the point.

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

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

Not important.

 MT> Hull: Several customers also drew their guns and fired.

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

Again, so what?  

 MT> Hull: Paramedics pronounced him dead on the scene.

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

Who cares?  The only good perp is a dead perp.

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

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

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

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

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


 MT> You wrote:

 JH>> This story needs no explanation.

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

It doesn't.  What is painfully obvious is that you are too goddamn stupid to
get what the point of the post was in the first place.

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

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

So what?  Doesn't excuse his actions one bit.

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

Then his family should be sanctioned as well for not keeping him under control.
