A wonderful guy, if you can overlook the wife-beating and the monthly arrests. It's all Sam Colts fault.
Seven Dead in Chicago Warehouse Shooting
CHICAGO (Aug. 27) - A fired worker hunted down and shot to death six employees of an auto parts supply warehouse on Wednesday, then refused to surrender and was killed by police, authorities said.
"From the scene, it appears he went throughout the supply warehouse shooting them," acting Chicago Police Superintendent Philip Cline said. "They all suffered fatal gunshot wounds."
The gunman, identified by authorities as 36-year-old Salvador Tapia, had been fired six months ago for poor performance at Windy City Core Supply Inc., and recently made threatening telephone calls to one of the owners.
"According to management, he was fired six months ago for being a poor employee -- late, not showing up at work, causing trouble at work," Cline said. The phone calls were not reported to police.
When officers arrived Wednesday morning in answer to a call of shots fired, an employee with his hands tied behind his back, who had escaped, told them Tapia was inside and had shot several employees. Another worker who was caught in rush hour traffic also escaped the carnage.
Tapia may have arrived before some employees, then fired at arriving officers in two separate confrontations outside.
A team of heavily armed officers then stormed the warehouse -- which Cline described as a thicket of barrels, containers and auto engines -- and found Tapia hiding. He refused to put down his weapon, a Walther PP .380 pistol, and was killed by an officer, Cline said.
Police searched the warehouse for hours afterward, looking for any additional victims amid the maze of auto parts.
**Tapia had been arrested a dozen times in the past 14 years on various charges, including illegal possession of a weapon, domestic battery and assault. He was convicted in 1989 of illegal possession of a gun and received a year's probation.
"The problem here is easy access to a firearm," Cline said. "I mean here's someone who never should have had a gun, that had a gun, and it's tragic results from it."**
Chicago, which has one of the nation's highest murder rates, has been in the forefront of U.S. cities suing gun manufacturers, distributors and retailers. Mayor Richard Daley frequently rails against the influx of weapons into the city that bans their sale inside its borders.
Last week in Ohio, an automotive supply plant worker killed one co-worker and wounded two others before killing himself.
Other workplace shootings in recent years include the July 1999 slayings of nine people at two Atlanta brokerage offices by a stock trader, who earlier killed his wife and two children. In December, a copier repairman shot to death seven people at a Xerox Corp. facility in Honolulu.
In February 2001, a former worker at a suburban Chicago Navistar factory who was about to start a prison term returned to the plant and opened fire, killing four and then himself.

"The problem here is easy access to a firearm," Cline said. "I mean here's someone who never should have had a gun, that had a gun, and it's tragic results from it."
As Bugs Bunny would say, "What a maroon!" That's even with giving Cline a pass on his piss-poor grammar.
Nope, the problem is:
a) Multi-culti diversity that encourages non-judgemental understanding of even the worst sorts of scum, so long as they're non-White.
B) A revolving door justice system that places more emphasis on hounding people with no history of violence like Chester Doles (yes, I know Doles had a misdemeanor conviction from a fight), Artie Wheeler (dangerous 62-year-old grampa that he is) and legal gunowners than keeping habitual-felon scumbags like Tapia behind bars, where, the idiot Cline might note, he would have a lot harder time getting "easy access to a firearm."
c) A political machine, i.e. Daley, that keeps honest, decent people helpless by law, while allowing thugs to terrorize people by default because they don't give a sh*t about gun control anyway.
d) "It's always someone else's fault" culture, i.e. Chicago's slimy legal harassment of gun makers because they're too spineless to crack down on the hard-core minority criminal underclass.
The only rational response to the Tapias of the world is armed employees utilizing the Mozambique Drill: a double tap to the chest and one in the head, but I would turn blue if I held my breath waiting for the city that elects a Daley, over and over, to become rational.

I just looked at some pictures of the victims on the Chicago Tribune site and none of them look like me. Tapia was a Mexican. Two of the victims were black, the others a Latino and the Jewish bosses. I wonder what the odds were that a White guy would get hired there.

I was reading a history of my mother's birthplace earlier this week and the author said that "Chicago" came from a Chippewa indian word that means "place of skunks." :D [url=http://www.rootsweb.com/~mnwinbio/ch1.htm]http://www.rootsweb.com/~mnwinbio/ch1.htm[/url]

We were talking about not seeing this Latino's handsome merde-hued mug or even hearing its name on the One-Eyed Jew for the last 2 days. "That's a dead giveaway that it's a nigra or a beaner. Mark my words"
I love being right.... ;)
As for this probable chew Cline: these camel-faced scum have chutzpah to burn, that's for sure. First they open the floodgates to this subhuman filth, then in the ensuing (eagerly anticipated by jews) chaos, they scream about the urgent need for gun control. It's all about disarming then destroying Whitey, and that's all it's ever been about.
I pray that Cline will meet his very own Tapia, and soon.

That's been my standard for playing "Guess the Felon's Ethnicity" for the past few years as well, and you know what?
So far I'm batting 1.000 :th:

Yep...
I always hear about the JPFO (Jews for the Preservation of Firearm Ownership, for those that can stifle laughter) being proof that Jews really don't want gun control, followed by goy control. I got sick of that, so I now reply that, even if they're not a front group designed to deflect criticism from Jews (and it's certainly worked on a lot of gunnies I know), then how much power do these guys have compared to the Boxers, Schumers, Feinsteins, Lautenbergs, Metzenbaums and various Cohens stalking the halls of Congress? Could just be a scheme of playing both sides against the middle and making money off both. Naaaah...
That usually shuts them up, though some of them bring up insane Gentile elites like Kennedy, McCarthy (Carolyn, not Joe) and Sarah Brady, but of course those people had, shall we say, bad experiences with guns and in their mentally crippled state, blamed the object instead of the perp.
"Latino".......
Yeah, but you only get the full effect when a newscaster pronounces it, "LatEEEnO." :drool:

I wonder what the odds are, if the killer had been white, that the media would be insinuating a "hate crime" motive.

I always enjoy a satisfying smirk when a cucaracha blowdry instantly switches from bland, unaccented TV English to salsa-breathed Spanglish at the drop of a sombrero:
"MAH-ria HEE-no-HO-sa reporting from Podunk, Idaho. Back to you, Wolf...."
