Situation: A road-rage incident escalates into a deadly pursuit.

Lesson: Keep communications as handy as your gun. Bad guys fear resolutely armed people, not weapons. Remember that full auto can stop a fight–but start an indictment.

It’s amazing how often a criminal will say something unbelievably stupid just before he forces a decent citizen to kill him. For many years I’ve been piecing together a book subtitled “Famous Last Words of Scumbags.” The working title will come from the most memorable such incident: “F*** You and Your Automatic Rifle!”

The shooter was Gary Fadden. The incident took place some 20 years ago. Only now is Gary comfortable speaking of it, in hopes that others may learn from lessons that cost him very deeply.

The Incident

Sunday, February 24, 1984, approximately 2 PM. Gary Fadden, 26, and his lovely 22 year old fiancee are driving from a birthday party in Martinsburg, WV, into Virginia to look at some property for what they hope will be their starter home after their marriage. It’s a bitterly cold day, and with the winter coats in the back of a new ’84 Ford F-250 supercab 4WD diesel pickup, the Pendleton-clad Fadden looks from a distance like a harmless Yuppie. That means he and the pretty brunette look like prey to another kind of person.

AP is running a story with the headline “Hamas leader: Won’t be ‘blackmailed’ into submission” or something and the body of the story goes something like this:

JERUSALEM (AP) – A top Hamas leader says his organization won’t be “blackmailed” by international threats to cut off aid to the Palestinians.

He says the group is searching for alternative sources of funding.

Osama Hamdan also says Hamas will not accept conditions from the West that Hamas renounce violence. At the same time, he says Hamas is ready for dialogue.

Hamdan is a member of the group’s exiled leadership. He made the remarks in a telephone interview from Lebanon.

Yesterday, “road map” peace plan sponsors said aid could be in jeopardy unless Hamas renounces violence, recognizes Israel and accepts existing agreements Israel has with the Palestinians.

the story is accompanied by the picture you see here. what’s funny is that that gun says “cate pistol” on the side of it. cate pistol are airsoft guns, and you might also notice the little holes for the screws that hold it together, which real guns don’t have. what’s even better is that they’re not even good airsoft guns, they’re the $2 bargain bin specials. please don’t hurt me mr. hamas, i’m not armed, i swear…
