Your eyes do not deceive you. This is essentially a human-powered Conestoga wagon going down the stairs of a historic building.

CNN.com - Craigslist killing suspect seemed 'all-American'

Today I'm just ranting. No picture. I'm putting aside momentarily the evil that is murder and looking at this headline objectively. Two thoughts come to mind.
[1] Just once, can sources describe a killer as follows: "Oh, I totally knew that guy was a killer just waiting to happen!" "No shock. Absolutely no shock. Doesn't surprise me one bit."
[2] With all the firearms in our Hollywood exports* and the gun lobby's efforts, maybe this guy really is "all-American."
*True story: my brother-in-law, Matt, served in the Peace Corps in Benin. The people there wondered where his gun was.
