Byron Williams (Attempted to do a killing spree of liberals) was previously convicted of hit and run

[ck4829]

If a writer crafted a character like Byron Williams -- the 45-year-old felon in serious condition after exchanging gunfire with state troopers on I-580 in a scene right out of Robocop -- he'd have been accused of creating a nightmarish cartoon.

He was a twice-convicted felon driving on a suspended license with an arrest history including assault, property destruction, a DUI, hit and run, and theft. And, yes, he was allegedly driving drunk prior to yesterday's shootout -- which only occurred because Highway Patrol officers pulled him over en route to whatever grand plans he was intent on carrying out.

Williams was apparently prone to maniacal rants about about left-wing politicians taking away his rights and lived with his mother in backwoods Groveland in Tuolmne County. She had a locker full of guns, as she believed that armed resistance against our government was inevitable -- but Williams allegedly made off with the stash because he felt that time was now. (He purportedly skipped out on a dinner date with mom; they were going to make a salsa together). In addition to a large cache of weapons, Williams was clothed in body armor, which enabled him to absorb numerous shots and survive.

Get ready for a rant.

You've heard of the Perfect Storm, right? Well, every 100 years, a hypocrite comes around who is so hypocritical, that this person can be called the Perfect Hypocrite. This is Byron Williams. I can tell you what kind of person Williams is. He probably spends all day thinking about those "welfare queens" and all those people who need some "personal responsibility." Bet you 10 bucks. But Byron boy over here almost killed a person with his car and didn't even have the courtesy to stop. That's the ultimate lack of personal responsibility right there.

I bet this guy was probably going to shoot up a homeless shelter or something, coward.

NO WAY THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE!!

OOPS = they may be 10% responsible!!

OOPS (again) = they may be 20% responsible!!

etc etc = they are 99% responsible!!

3. I'm pretty sure it was the fault of the guy who pulled the trigger

Something else I didn't include in the OP, I was the victim of a hit and run several years back, anyone who does a hit and run is a monster, and they don't need any support from anyone in order to be a monster then.

"I could have killed that person right there, but let me keep on driving anyway."

5. Before they became "politically aware", these guys used to stalk and kill women

I wonder why the shift?
