To grab a gun and kill someone. All for shock and awe.

But the dead person will be dead regardless.

The police in Houston are already overwhelmed because of legitimate crime calls. Any person or any group who pulls a stunt like this which will force the police to take their concentration off the REAL issues and will force the police to have to babysit some stunt puller, is irresponsible and selfish.
