She told police he threatened to shoot anyone who “messed with the air conditioning” and then shoot himself. The relative said the Self was on pain killers that made him “very angry.” She fled the house with another relative and their dog to call 9-1-1. She said Self had previously threatened suicide.

The Kenosha Police surrounded the home and demanded that Self exit the home with his hands up over a loudspeaker. Eventually, Self exited the rear of the residence but didn’t listen to police’s commands. He then went back into the house, against the directions from police. Later, Self exited the front of the home and was taken into custody at gunpoint.

  1. From the story:

    “The Kenosha Police surrounded the home and demanded that Self exit the home with his hands up over a loudspeaker. Eventually, Self exited the rear of the residence but didn’t listen to police’s commands. He then went back into the house, against the directions from police.

    This guy should thank his lucky stars that he is a white guy. Had he been black, the police would have shot him to end the threat

        1. The Repubs are pretty fragile snowflakes… whining, crying, complaining… all because people think they are creepy and weird.

  4. Big pharma execs love us when we’re addicted.
    Drug-dealing street thugs love us when we’re addicted.
    The only difference between those two groups of people is the side of town they live on.

    1. And yet I know many people who have been prescribed opiates/benzos/etc and manage to not become a pile of shit. It’s amazing what some willpower and self control can do to prevent people from ending up like this loser when they run out of dope and the covers come off showing their true colors. If these guys weren’t so self centered and trying to hide their habits they could catch it before it turns into them buying smack from everyone and selling off their kids shit while helping them look for it later that night. Huh that’s weird son, you must have misplaced your PS5 again, I’m sure it will turn up!

  5. “ Later, Self exited the front of the home and was taken into custody at gunpoint. “

    After he shoved the last of his fentanyl up his ass for the night of being a whiny bitch in jail complaining about that A/C too
