OT: Michigan grad tech bro goes on shooting and spray painting rampage in Oakland
So I get an email from my daughters preschool this morning notifing us that they are in lockdown mode due to an active shooter in the area. Apparently some guy was running around the neighborhood shooting at cars, homes, helicopters, and police, and spray paiting dicks and boobs on houses and cars. Everyone was ok except the shooter, who was shot by police and is in the hospital, but turns the guys is a Michigan Law School grad and cofounder of some tech company here in Oakland. Full story here:
This is the most bizzare Michigan related news story to come out of Oakland since former U of M baskeball player Domminic Ingersol swam naked across Lake Merritt after stealing somebody's purse.

Alrighty then.
February 17th, 2017 at 7:02 PM ^
I'll guess some sort of upper and hallucinagenic mix....
Molly + Acid ?
February 17th, 2017 at 7:03 PM ^
or whatever stuff the face eating guy in Miami was on.
February 17th, 2017 at 7:10 PM ^
Bath salts haha
February 17th, 2017 at 8:18 PM ^
that's a real knee slapper. guy is clearly in a bad place, not sure how anyone can find any humor in this.
February 17th, 2017 at 10:11 PM ^
Finding humor in tragedies is a pretty common reaction\coping mechanism. Stop telling people what is ok for them to find humorous. They aren't telling you what to like.
February 18th, 2017 at 1:08 PM ^
Ok, the guy has died from the police gunshot wounds - now can you contain yourself from laughing at it?
Also, the person who filed the restraining order against him while at Michigan Law claimed he had said he had a gun and wanted to perpetrate a mass killing.
Y'know, some things just aren't funny, nor appropriate to joke about. And you can call people who tell you that sjw or whatever makes you happy. But that don't make it not true...

Anything involving boobs and/or cockpics and I'm sold.
February 18th, 2017 at 6:07 AM ^
Thoughts and prayers to all the walls and cars with boobs on them.
February 18th, 2017 at 10:40 AM ^
Boobs & penis = chortle (with option to gufaw)
Googlyeyes & penis = lol
February 17th, 2017 at 7:15 PM ^
As much as I love Michigan and will defend fellow alumni, this guy was investigated at Michigan for criminal stalking. He even filed, and lost, a defamation suit against the university in 2011. Filed one against campus police for unlawful seizure.
He was clearly off his rocker, not drugs. Something like schizophrenia sounds more like it.
February 17th, 2017 at 7:35 PM ^
You gotta get help. The problem with the world today, denial. Too much denial.
February 18th, 2017 at 10:48 AM ^
Nuh-uh....
February 18th, 2017 at 8:51 AM ^
On behalf of UM, we do not claim this person as our own
February 18th, 2017 at 9:15 AM ^
What do you know about schizophrenia. I'm guessing close to nothing, so don't throw around your bs diagnosis when you see someone acting badly.
February 17th, 2017 at 7:39 PM ^
Molly and acid don't make you shoot people. Even when taken together
February 17th, 2017 at 10:56 PM ^
Ahhhh the ol hippy flip.
February 17th, 2017 at 7:03 PM ^
I assumed he just snapped
February 17th, 2017 at 7:07 PM ^
Somehow this thread will get locked because the mods sure do love deleting/locking threads.
February 17th, 2017 at 7:07 PM ^
Probably shouldn't try to dig too deep to understand the dick, boobs, shooting spree....yep, I'm going to think about this all night.
February 17th, 2017 at 7:08 PM ^
I thought this had the state of Florida written all over it.... It finally wasn't us.
February 17th, 2017 at 7:09 PM ^
should have killed him.
February 18th, 2017 at 2:16 PM ^
They did.
February 17th, 2017 at 7:11 PM ^
Suspect this is some type of mental health thing. The suspect is lucky to be alive. It sounds from the reports like the police exercised some restraint here. EDIT: wow, so this is the incident that closed down the 580 earlier today.
February 17th, 2017 at 7:18 PM ^
the Unabomber...
Michigan Grad....
February 17th, 2017 at 9:24 PM ^
H.H. Holmes, operator of the "Murder Hotel" at the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago, is also a Michigan alum. He's also an alum of the University of Vermont: I'm also a graduate of both. So...yeah.
February 17th, 2017 at 11:10 PM ^
Richard Loeb and Francois Duvalier spent some time in Ann Arbor as well, so you definitely never know, eh?
Actually, didn't Nathan Leopold at least spend a few minutes at Michigan as well? I could be wrong about that one.
February 17th, 2017 at 7:21 PM ^
Boobs could use some work.
February 17th, 2017 at 9:18 PM ^
like bags of sand.
February 18th, 2017 at 7:07 AM ^
Those were not boobs, they were Pete Finebaum's eyes and his glasses.
February 17th, 2017 at 7:21 PM ^
kinda like how the Kony guy went nuts and started jacking it in the middle of the road
February 17th, 2017 at 7:54 PM ^
Nobody will be jacking it to those boobs.
February 17th, 2017 at 7:22 PM ^
Very unfortunate. I hope this man gets the help he needs.
February 17th, 2017 at 7:23 PM ^
Can't wait to see this on a future Farmers Insurance commercial. "Had a dick painted on his hood.. and we covered it."
February 17th, 2017 at 7:34 PM ^
Love this. Wish I could upvote from phone.
February 17th, 2017 at 7:43 PM ^
But maybe they WOULDNT cover it?
February 17th, 2017 at 7:49 PM ^
Stiffy Rampage- February 2017
February 17th, 2017 at 8:16 PM ^
Ok this comment made me laugh
February 17th, 2017 at 7:25 PM ^
It wasn't dicks wearing glasses with a PF insignia underneath. It would have been worth getting shot.
February 17th, 2017 at 7:28 PM ^
I give the penis a 4/5 and the boobs a 1/5. Can't blame him though, probably more familiar with the former than the latter
February 17th, 2017 at 7:38 PM ^
Just looked him up - UCLA undergrad, Michigan JD, Georgia Tech Masters in CS.
February 17th, 2017 at 7:47 PM ^
Too much school?
February 18th, 2017 at 10:43 AM ^
is the devil.
February 17th, 2017 at 7:57 PM ^
Career student. Obviously smart. Debt up to eyeballs or mom/dad are pissed and cuts it. Now can't cope.
February 17th, 2017 at 10:19 PM ^
Solid opinion, detective...
February 17th, 2017 at 10:41 PM ^
but when I do, it's because he's being logical. For once.
February 17th, 2017 at 7:44 PM ^
Hope he gets appropriate treatment.
February 17th, 2017 at 7:45 PM ^
"Boobs" look like my eyes after my 6th cup of coffee.
February 17th, 2017 at 7:53 PM ^
Also like Cartman's eyes
