Becoming a cop killer in a death penalty state is a whole 'nother level of stupid. Stupid is just not a good enough description of the suicidal fucking stupidity this idiotic dumb fuck has displayed.
This guy sounds stoopit.
“Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from the stairhead, bearing a bowl of lather on which a mirror and a razor lay crossed. A yellow dressinggown, ungirdled, was sustained gently behind him on the mild morning air. He held the bowl aloft and intoned: ‘WHAR’S MAH FUCKIN’ SAMMICH?’”
Suicide by cop?
No, that involves looking threatening so they shoot you. This guy panicked and shot the cop.
Conversation on Friday:
Transcriptionist: “How do I format the transcript for this job?”
Me: “Please use formatting style A. It’s our default style.”
Transcriptionist: “But I was told to use style B in this email.”
Me: “Yes, you use style B for customer XYZ, as explained in that email. The job will tell you if it’s for XYZ. This particular job says nothing about XYZ, so use style A.”
Today I get the transcript. It’s using style B.
Me: “As I said, please use style A, not style B.”
Transcriptionist: “BUT THAT’S WHAT YOU TOLD ME TO DO FOR THIS ONE! :(”
Me: tic
Fool, you cannot make a left turn from the right lane in a busy intersection. I still don’t know how no one had a collision there - the person in front of me was being blocked from making their right turn in the right lane, I managed to not rear-end them, then I was being blocked from going straight through on the green light in the left lane, oncoming traffic was waiting to make their left turns, there were various pedestrians crossing in various crosswalks - yikes.
ETA: I should say, this was a residential street opening out from one lane into two, and the right turner should have been able to clear away from in front of me easily; I don’t normally almost rear-end people in the other lane. 
Which presumably would make the cop shoot back. Not saying that was the reason; just throwing it out as a possibility.
He was a passenger in a car on a routine traffic stop. AFAIK, he gunned them down before they could even react.
More info. The car was pulled over because it didn’t have a license plate. They checked the ID on both of them, a woman was driving. There was an outstanding warrant on the guy for check fraud. They went back to arrest him and he pulled the gun before they could frisk him. Check fraud. He killed two police officers for check fraud.
Same thing happened down here in Mesa not too long ago. Cop made a routine stop on a truck, ran the driver’s license. Smelled something fishy, went to talk to the passenger who, knowing he had a warrant out for his arrest, panicked and shot the officer.
Unfortunately for him, the officer still had the driver’s license in his hand as he died and the truck peeled out.
I’d love to know exactly what the low bid was when my office building was built, because the fucking HVAC system has never worked correctly. On the hottest day last week, the AC was going in and out, and never quite got fixed properly. Thank Og I have a little fan, else me and my office-mate, Jen, would have both melted.
Could be the death penalty doesn’t really work as a deterrent. I doubt that it was even going through his mind.
This is why I try to have as many discussions as possible via email. You can send people the chain when they fuck up.
If you’re trying to get a cop or a bunch of cops to shoot you to death, killing them is generally a pretty stupid way of going about getting them to shoot you. Little bit hard for them to pull the trigger at that point.
I really want to apply a comma after the penultimate word in that second sentence.
All this talk of sammiches reminded me of this:
… That’s pure genius, Tom. Thanks for sharing it.
I should have clarified: that conversation was in email. I did send her the past emails in the conversation. She sent me the very emails she was insisting said something they did not. That’s a special kind of dumb right there.
Were you able to ask her to point out where in the emails it said what she thought it said? I’m wondering if she just thinks differently than other people, or if she truly can’t understand an English sentence.
I dearly hope it’s not the latter, because she’s supposed to be an English transcriptionist. My best guess is she gets frustrated easily and her reading comprehension goes out the window. This particular person has a habit of sending us off-kilter questions that make both me and my boss stare at the computer screen with our heads tilted like confused dogs. It’s not so much that the questions themselves are odd, but the assumptions and thought processes that had to lead to the questions being asked in the first place are nearly incomprehensible. I have to think at a 90 degree angle to reality to make sense of them.
