— Chief Robert Boyce (@NYPDDetectives) July 3, 2014 Courtesy of New York Daily News: A man who was armed with two AR-15 assault rifles and carried a suicide note that said he wanted to “die in combat” was arrested in the West Village on Wednesday morning, police said.
Victor Greer, 46, of Reading, Pa., was pulled over about 1:15 a.m. while driving the wrong way down a one-way street — he was headed north on Seventh Ave. near Grove St., police said.
Inside his vehicle, cops found a .9-mm pistol, a pump-action shotgun and a box of ammo in addition to the AR-15 rifles — a high-powered killing machine that has been used in some of America's recent mass killings.
His suicide note read: “I want to die in combat, so I can go to heaven and meet God,” according to police.
Of course there was NO way to predict that this kind of thing could happen while living in a society which glorifies religion, gun ownership, and military combat in equal portions. Right?
Yeah I'm sure it can all be blamed on mental illness, and if not that, video games.
Why look to the obvious reasons, with their even more obvious solutions.
