Take the following story for example:
When Paul Kuzan stood naked in the doorway of his Northeast Philadelphia home after allegedly shooting his new wife to death with a high-velocity crossbow Sunday night, it was not the first time he'd exposed himself to the neighborhood lately, according to police and residents.
About a week earlier, Kuzan, 41, walked naked to the business plaza across the street from his house on the 3100 block of Willits Road and caused a disturbance inside a mixed martial arts gym, neighbors said. He then walked next door to Anointed Hands Child Development Center and tried to get in there too, said the day care center's owner, Christina Humphrey.
"He said he was going to kill everyone and not even the kids would be safe," Humphrey said. "I was horrified."
Kuzan's newlywed, Pamela Nightlinger, got him back into their house before police arrived, Humphrey said, but that did not ebb her fears.
"When that happened, I thought, 'If they don't get this guy, something will happen,' " Humphrey said.
On Sunday night, something did.
According to police, around 9:20 p.m., following an argument between Kuzan and Nightlinger at their home, Kuzan retrieved a crossbow and shot his wife - whom he had married nine days earlier, on June 17 - once in the chest.
"She was sitting in a chair, the [arrow] actually went through her body, through the chair, and got stuck into the wall," Homicide Capt. James Clark said. "It was a very high-velocity bow."
Following the shooting, Nightlinger, 42, stumbled next door to the house of her neighbor, Margie Maldonado.
Maldonado's 24-year-old son was in the kitchen eating chicken wings when he heard Nightlinger pounding at the kitchen door. Maldonado was upstairs in bed and went rushing down just in time to see her son open the door and Nightlinger collapse into his arms.
"She was gasping for air," Maldonado said. "It was terrible because there was this blood pool all over the place."
When Maldonado looked outside, she said, she saw Nightlinger's husband standing naked in his own doorway. [More]
As my twitter fam, @jeff_deeney (a white guy), stated: "Can't even get arrested if you're a naked white guy trying to break into a daycare threatening to kill all the kids!"
So true. A black guy in a similar situation would be singing in that big Baptist church in the sky right about now.
911.
What is the emergency?
There is a naked black guy in front a day- care threatening to kill the children.
Tell everyone to stay calm, a SWAT team is on the way.
