OT: Another shoot 'em up in WI while I'm on air

[Ed Becker]

Perhaps youse heard about the dick-hole that shot up the spa in Brookfield, WI. JSonline.com is your friend for details. I, however, got a call in the early afternoon from a fellow jock. She had voicetracked (pre-recorded) the Noon to 4pm shift on Friday. I was scheduled to start at 4pm. Obviously, she had no idea that some fuckstain would go and shoot up a local business when she did her deal.

So anyways, I get a call from her while I'm waking up, listening to the Packers game on the air on WTMJ (the Packers flagship, not one of our stations.) She's over an hour away, I'm 15 minutes away. I put on pants, wash my face and get to the station. We go totally local when shit like this happens. It happened when the kid got killed a few years ago outside of Summerfest and then in August for the Sikh Temple shooting. Holy Christ... A classic rock radio station covering news live.

What I did was I monitored local news, including WISN-12 which was linked at the mainland. That TV station is also a partner with us. My cop friends texted me stuff which was mostly confirmed by TV. I went and gathered news and reported what was confirmed. Fuck. I go in early, do hard news. Oh shit... I should put something on the station FB page. Or maybe not so much. Stupid dead people that I don't want to report on. I should be talking about Led Zeppelin's "Black Dog" and how you can't dance to it. (Go ahead and try) That or poop jokes.

I put on serious voice. Didn't see or hear shit on the Packers. Or the rest of the games. Another WI WIN has Matt Kenseth winning in Kansas. No, I was tracking the story of the asshole shooter and reporting the story and what roads were blocked off.

I'm sick over the shit that happened. Yay! Milwaukee! You'll die! Yay! Fuck that. I can't even get properly drunk and I have the keys to the bar.

Maybe I'm old. I never want to report on deaths. That sucks all forms of ass. I was so happy to go outside and smoke. And then think about who got shot up.

There's been a lot going on with the story. Apparently, the couple had been rather not peaceful. Lotsa clashes, wife's belongings thrown into the yard by gunman husband, a tire slashing at her job (the spa) and a spot with the Brown Deer Police Department where they couldn't figure out if he had a gun or was pointing a broomstick out a window at the coppers. Nothing was done. WI does have a law that someone has to get taken into custody in a domestic violence case but it didn't happen. BDPD has been under fire from the media.

Wife (deceased) filed a restraining order on husband (gunman) on Thursday. RO said he had to turn in his firearms. He bought the gun online on Saturday, which in WI is like buying a firearm at a gun show... no background check.

Kinda reminds me of the Dahmer case where the young Laotian boy was seen wandering naked in the street bleeding from the head and the anus and the Milwaukee cops sent him back to Dahmer. Where he then resumed being a fuck-toy and dinner. The coppers were told to be more sensitive to the gay community from the then chief.

Seems like you're fucked either way as a cop. Or as a civilian in this case.

Smiths:
I learned from years on Fark that all cops are bad all the time.

What about attention whore strippers with pancake tits? They are awesome girls. Fark is the final frontier of the internet, so it must be true. Too lazy to switch to Comic Sans.

CSB time: Some kid I worked with in 1997 in radio became a Milwaukee cop. One of my best friends. Approx. 7 years younger than me. He's not a meat-head. Good guy doing his job who loves almost every minute of it. As are most coppers I know.

Yeah, I know. I'm drizunk. I'm gonna poop on the floor of the men's room to make sure the cocksucker that cleans does his job.
