2 February 2023

On the same day Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters released body camera video of the city's first police shooting of 2023, officers shot and killed another suspect.

It began about 11:15 a.m. Thursday with a call about a man threatening to harm himself and would shoot at any police who came onto his property at a home in the 5300 block of Lannie Road on the Northside. Chief Mark Romano said after several minutes of police trying to talk him out, they heard a gunshot from inside. They also had learned that potentially his girlfriend was inside, so SWAT responded and communicated with the suspect for over an hour.

He eventually came out of the front door, go on his hands and knees and put the gun down, Romano said. Then he picked it up and fired at the officers who immediately shot him multiple times. Six officers were involved and none injured.

It turned out the girlfriend was not inside but at another location safe. The chief said he did not know the mental history of the suspect or whether this was a suicide by cop. He was later identified as 60-year-old Thomas Edwin Gray.

Of course you can! Just wear a button that says "I'm a ginger, not a racist!" and maybe a cute etsy

anthropomorphized stick of gum that says "Big Red", you definitely need a rainbow button, because rainbows (duh)! And maybe hand out business cards that read "Roses are red, Italians say grazie, just because I wear red suspenders, doesn't mean I'm a nazi!" And I don't know if you're male or female (it really doesn't matter) where you wear your red scrunchie, as long as you as the one holding it! Ala . Winona Ryder in Heathers! Remember kids, Teenage suicide, don't do It!

Look in all of those random thoughts above, I'm trying to say don't let those fuckers take anything from you! Unless your thing is white sheets, swastikas, oh and the most important part, that you're also a complete and total vile stain on humanity, you're probably going to be okay!

Buck up little camper!
