That article is a wild ride!

Naked guy with shotgun targeted Tesla? Nope, just one of many that day:

The man, later identified as 35-year-old Ed Teece, was reportedly “running down the street smashing windows” before he made his way into the Tesla location.

So some drugged/mentally ill person right? Nope:

Teece is a Yale University grad, where he was a member of the 2009-2010 lightweight rowing team.

...and...

Later in 2025, Teece’ began’s profile says he began an MBA program at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, which he has yet to finish.

So this naked guy was just running around with a shotgun. At least I'm glad he didn't fire it. Nope:

Police then raided Teece’s nearby warehouse, uncovering “evidence that the suspect had discharged the shotgun” a few times.

Is the logic that a Yale grad/Wharton student couldn’t possibly be mentally ill or on drugs? If so, I present the last two republican presidents as counter-evidence.

Hell, the Unabomber was a Harvard grad and had a phd from U Mich.

"Couldn't" no. Less likely? Yes.

If so, I present the last two republican presidents as counter-evidence.

The Republican presidents have been a disaster for the USA (and the world for that matter), but you're proving my point that (so far) we haven't had one literally running down the street naked with a shotgun.

He was a white man, why he was not shot after running towards the police with a gun. Fucking hell.

You answered your own question because he was white

I was dying in laughter over the style of your comment in describing the craziness of the situation. Thank you for the hearty laugh!

Police officers responding to calls at the service center were able to tackle the alleged perpetrator, who reportedly sprinted at them with his weapon in hand.

Yeah, it's Berkeley, but I'm still surprised he wasn't shot.

I guess no cop wants to have "shooting the naked shotgun man" on their record for the rest of their career.
