I completely agree this POS needed to be neutralized, but it is a little concerning that LE have turned to bombs to do so. It is setting a scary precedent in my opinion.
Well, the government executed retired US Army Captain Brian Babb in Eugene last year, after he had served two combat tours in Afghanistan, and twice suffered brain injuries from IED explosions that hit the vehicle he was in. The sniper killed last night was also a veteran of the Afghanistan war.
In Babb's case, they did it with a bullet to his brain. Does that make the end result for the veteran any better? Babb harmed no one, had been suffering from severe PTSD for some time, and had been talking about suicide to his therapist, who then called 911.
