The cops should have put a few rounds into him and cleared the highway.

Van Tassel, an Iraq veteran from Santa Barbara, was taken into custody without incident, said police Sgt. Lorenzo Duarte. The sergeant said Van Tassel had been in the Army but he did not have any details of his Iraq service.
Duarte said Van Tassel was complaining about the treatment of veterans and the war. "The reason appears to be anti-war, but I don't know the specifics," he said.
Police continued to investigate a duffel bag and the man's car at the scene but had "no credible threats or any threats of explosives," police Sgt. Jim Pfleging said.Pfleging said Van Tassel will receive a mental health evaluation. There was no listing for Van Tassel.

A disc jockey at the station said a masked man with a revolver "demanded to be put on the air because he was mad at John McCain and how veterans were treated."

It would be very wise to keep this thread on a sensible level or take it to Oso's.
