(8,175 posts)He demanded money first and then when they said they had no money, he told them to start walking away and shot them in the back.
Mendoza later told FBI agents he shot the victims because he was getting tired of waiting around, and because the daughter laughed at him, the criminal complaint says.
Too much evil in this country today. Way too much evil.

(2,807 posts)We need to get that gun back into circulation as quickly as possible. We MUST keep it out of the hands of the government or it might be destroyed. We cannot lose a single gun. We must keep every single gun out there to be used by good guys.
Did he fire all of his ammunition like a good guy should? Was there any ammunition that got confiscated? That would be a travesty of jusssice. We must get that ammunition in the hands of a good guy straight away.
