Man Killed in Shooting Spree!

Truck Toilet Patent Dispute Ends in Murder!
Joe Jackson fatally shot three people in a law firm’s office before he was finally killed by police. Jackson apparently felt cheated over an invention, a “crapper” for use in trucks.
He took a guard at gun-point with him to the 38th floor offices of Wood, Phillips, Katz, Clark & Mortimer, a law firm that handles intellectual property and patents. He was strapped like Rambo with a revolver, knife and hammer in a large manila envelope. He also chained the office doors shut, according to the police.
The disgruntled inventor – Jackson, age 59, told witnesses that he had been cheated over a toilet he’d invented for use in trucks, according to police authorities.
Well, Jackson apparently tossed his life into “the toilet” – as local SWAT officers gunned him down after he had shot several people. Talk about your day turning into s***! The man was obviously deranged or he would have done what 99.9% of the population would have done – hire a better attorney!
A truck toilet would be an amazing accessory, saving lost man hours and always being ready for that next unexpected, internal explosion. Mr. Jackson waited a little too long – and took things a little too far down “Crazy Avenue” to expect to walk out alive. What a pitiful, meaningless, loss of human life, and all over a mobile crapper no less. This world never fails to amaze me.
I suppose he was so enraged because he felt his mobile crapper would be his retirement “nest egg”. Oddly enough this became a reality for him as the police sharp-shooters “retired him” in short order. My advice is never do something that’s borderline crazy until you’ve had a long night’s sleep and a couple of cups of coffee. This guy seemed to have just simmered and hated until he erupted into a murderous killer. I wish more people would forget the dollars and find a life. Geesh!??
