Just read this. (via Waxy) :

A Taylor police dispatcher took the call at precisely 12:44 p.m. on Oct. 18.

A 49-year-old man said he’d just blasted a man with a revolver and a shotgun because the man said he didn’t believe in God.

The dispatcher said the alleged shooter told him he’d just shot “the devil himself” and was still armed and standing over the body of the 62-year-old victim “in case he moved.”

“I want to make sure he’s gone,” the alleged shooter told the dispatcher.

The dispatcher asked the suspect how many times he shot the victim.

“Hopefully enough,” was the suspect’s chilling reply, according to the dispatcher.

When police arrived in the 15600 block of McGuire, they could see the victim seated on a living room couch with major trauma to his head, officers said.

They said they were certain he was dead. He was.

Lying on a hallway floor was a black 12-gauge shotgun. Two spent shotgun shells lay on the floor nearby.

Later, police found a revolver with five spent cartridge casings.

On the way to the police station, the suspect told police “he did not want to deal with anyone that did not believe in God,” according to the report.

The report also indicated that the suspect and the victim knew each other, although their relationship was unclear.

The suspect said he was an Eagle Scout, the report said.

The suspect said the victim had told him there was nothing he could say that would convince the 62-year-old to believe in God.

Following this discussion, the suspect said, he went into another room and removed his shirt. Then he shaved his face.

He tried once more to convince the victim to believe in God, but this time, he had the shotgun.

“How long would it take you to believe in God?” the suspect said he asked the victim.

“Not until I hear Gabriel blow his horn,” the victim allegedly replied, while tipping his hat.

That’s when the suspect shot him.

“I did it because he is evil; he was not a believer,” the suspect told police.

The suspect said the victim “has been locked up most of his life.”

Michigan Department of Corrections records indicate the victim was on probation for a drug conviction.

At the police station, the suspect commented that he believed there is a God.

Then, looking at the floor, he seemed to have second thoughts: “Maybe there’s not,” he said.

It’s funny how sometimes you can be so certain about things that you just end up fooling yourself. Then again, maybe the next four years will reveal us all to be fools in one way or another.
