'No country for old men': 107-year-old suspect killed by SWAT squad in Arkansas - Polidicks

Local authorities say the centenarian was killed after he refused to surrender. According to reports, police officers responded to a domestic disturbance involving an aggravated assault against two people at a residence in Pine Bluff, where suspect, Monroe Isadore, was on Saturday evening. The victims allegedly said Isadore had pointed a gun at them. They were quickly led out of the house by police, arkansasmatters.com reported. When the officers approached the bedroom where he was hiding, Isadore shot through the door. No one was hit, however. Police retreated and called for additional help, namely SWAT officers who then engaged in negotiations with the 107-year-old suspect. They placed a camera into the room where Isadore had taken refuge to verify that he was indeed armed with a handgun. Having failed to reach an agreement with the old man, officers fed gas into his room through a bedroom window, assuming Isadore would be left with no choice but to surrender. The die-hard old-timer began firing rounds at the SWAT officers instead. The officers broke down the door to the bedroom and threw in a distraction device. Despite this, Isadore shot at the entry team, whereupon officers returned fire, shooting him dead. [/QUOTE]

Well, if you're taking shots at a SWAT team I don't know what else you're expecting.

If I lived to be 100 a shootout would be the coolest way to go

[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;42118968]If I lived to be 100 a shootout would be the coolest way to go[/QUOTE] With SWAT no less.

Isn't that picture from the Boston Bomber manhunt?

Damn, 107 years old too, that's pretty fucking crazy. It sounded like he had went a little crazy by the end of his days. Waving his gun at his neighbors or something? Anyway, I hope he had a nice, fulfilling life to end it in such fashion.

why didn't they just shoot him into the walking cane

[QUOTE=krail9;42119060]too many vital arteries[/QUOTE] Like the [I]vena cane-a [/I]

Kinda ironic, old man, in Arkansas, shooting at people. Kinda like this guy from fallout, old man, named Arkansas, shoots at anyone he sees. [IMG]http://cdn.staticneo.com/w/fallout/thumb/c/c6/Arkansas.jpg/250px-Arkansas.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;42118968]If I lived to be 100 a shootout would be the coolest way to go[/QUOTE] Yeah killing or maiming people in my last moments would be the coolest thing ever.

I don't blame the old man for wanting to go out like that. I rather die in some sort of crazy way than on my death bed.

[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;42119020]why didn't they just shoot him into the walking cane[/QUOTE] wtf you savage, shooting the cane would only put his life in danger, they should have tased it instead

[QUOTE=Gatsby;42119763]I don't blame the old man for wanting to go out like that. I rather die in some sort of crazy way than on my death bed.[/QUOTE] Haha yeah man! Potentially killing other people because you want to die is a sound plan!

eh from the article, it seems like they really tried to avoid shooting him in every possible way we have but in the end it came down to a deranged man with a gun, and swat officers trying to stop him

[IMG]http://cdn.staticneo.com/w/fallout/thumb/c/c6/Arkansas.jpg/250px-Arkansas.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] Is the old mans house surrounded by landmines?

if he had any family left though, they probably should have taken the ammo from that guy years ago, especially if the guy had any sort of mental conditions that may have prompted this [editline]8th September 2013[/editline] also link the source in OP

Would have been easier to just switch off the ps2 and set the clock forward 2 weeks.

[QUOTE=Sgt-NiallR;42118942]Hardcore old man.[/QUOTE]But if he is a teen that means he is a punk, so this must be better?

[quote]The officers broke down the door to the bedroom and threw in a distraction device.[/quote] i'll assume this is a flashbang or something similar? it sounds like they threw a shiny piece of paper into the room

why is this getting so many friendlies?

[QUOTE=Chief Martini;42119058]tl;dr people are morons[/QUOTE] tl;dr People only read headlines/thread titles Definitely sounds like that man was a tad senile. Hope he lived a fulfilling life.

[quote]More officers were called, including a SWAT team that inserted a camera into the room and confirmed Isadore had a handgun. Police say SWAT officers released gas into the room when negotiations didn't work. They say Isadore shot at officers and they fired back, killing him.[/quote] Meh.

i fought the law and the law won

Justice served.
