A brother goes to "war" with the government.KIRKWOOD, Missouri - A gunman killed five people and wounded two Thursday night at a police station and City Council meeting in suburban St. Louis before officers shot and killed him, police said.
Charles Lee Thornton, here in an undated photo, was identified by witnesses as the gunman who opened fire. Two police officers were among the dead, said Tracy Panus, spokeswoman for the St. Louis County police.
Witnesses identified the gunman as Charles Lee "Cookie" Thornton, a man who they said regularly disrupted meetings to make complaints, though he didn't make it clear what his concerns were. Police have not identified the suspect. No one has made an official statement on Thornton's behalf, but his brother said Thornton "went to war tonight with the people that were of the government."

History will one day view this man a hero. He had the #### to stand up for his freedom, his Constitution, his country, while you cowards shrivel in fear of the sacrifices necessary to keep you free from tyranny. Yes, innocents were lost but the price of freedom is never cheap. If it gives just one corrupt judge or politician pause, the blood spilled will have served its glorious purpose.

Interesting! I want to read more on this case.
This man was crazy. But not as crazy as the individual who wrote those comments on the main page.
I echo the sentiment of RJ. I just pray that Sycore or his loved ones are catch a bad one at the post office and remain as defiant and resilient as he is now.
