Houston police kill naked assailant

[seamusTX]

The driver of a car smashed into two locked gates at a police station in the 8300 block of Ley Road on the northeast side of Houston about 3 a.m. today. When he failed to get through the gates, the naked driver got out of the car and pointed a handgun at police officers. Six officers shot at him, with fatal results.

The driver's motive was not immediately known.

Well, my mom always urged me to have on clean underwear in case I was ever in an accident. I'm not sure that applies here.

My Mom used to say the same thing. However, I never quite figured it out. If I am in that serious an accident, they probably won't be clean.

Sounds like this guy had a death wish and was looking for 'suicide by cop'.

I heard a radio interview with an ER doc once. He said when they were cutting off clothes, they tended not to notice -- except that a surprising number of men were found to be wearing women's underwear.

First you say it, then you do it!!

I'm going out on a limb here and guessing narcotics may have been involved.

Be polite, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet - even if you didn't plan to meet them, because you never know when some naked loony is going to crash your gate and try to shoot you.

I think Mark Twain said it best. "Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society."
