With all due respect, there's really nothing funny about this. The ex-cop at the center of this has already killed three -- one cop, the daughter of another, and the daughter's fiancee. And he has published a manifesto in which he threatens to kill 50, and states that he doesn't expect to survive. Whatever you think of gun control laws, this is a serious threat to large numbers of innocent people, made by someone who has already demonstrated that he has the motivation and means to make good on his threats. He has covered a lot of ground (literally), so the search is a large one. And until he's been caught or killed, a lot of people are in grave danger. Think of how you would feel if you were a potential target.

Hilarious, Backwoodsman? You have a strange sense of humor.
