Is it just me, but if McWilliams was hispanic or black, would people actually be arguing whether he tried to hurt other people or was it suicide by cop? Hmm..

Austin is a 24-hour city and there's no guarantee that a particular building will be completely empty at any hour. I'd say committing arson and "vandalism with a gun" ought to be BIG local news.

As far as I can tell it has gotten more coverage than the guy throwing rocks off an overpass at cars which poses a signficantly larger risk of actually hurtig someone than shooting at closed buildings in the middle of the night.
