I saw the newscast footage of it when it happened. It was bizarre and so were some of the circumstances.
Pennsylvania had had 2 oh its highest ranking politicians convicted of bribery.etc. Herb Fineman and another state speaker of the house were part of a long line of political crooks preceeding DeWeese,Mellow,Perzel,Veon,etc There was a lot of anger over the fact that polical crooks kept their cushy pensions and bennies despite being convicted criminals. The state finally passed a law forfeiting the pensions of future convicted dirtbags. Dwyer was going to lose his pension and benefits. I don't remember if it was part of the reason but Dwyer's family ended up keeping his pension because he killed himself.
Sad for his family that he made a spectacle of killing himself, but no pension was deserved.Political crooks are worse than everyday criminals and Dwyer was a greedy thief.

Oh I agree. I shoot many different guns up at the in laws, and it's amazing what damage can occur. It was just crazy to see it in real life.

I remember when I was little my dad had me shoot a .22 at a watermelon just to show me how much damage a small gun can do. I was shocked such a small bullet could do so much damage.Spoiler:
