Friends described a Richard Poplawski far different from the 22-year-old man accused of gunning down three police officers today -- a partier sometimes, a guy in search of an understanding of politics, even a walking comedian.
He was also convinced that the government wanted to take away his guns and his freedom.
He was also convinced that the government wanted to take away his guns and his freedom.
"I've known this kid my entire life and he was a good kid. He never had bad intentions. He never spoke about harming anybody," said Edward Perkovic, a lifelong friend who had known Mr. Poplawski since the two paired up at a daycare.
Mr. Poplawski attended Immaculate Conception elementary school and moved on to North Catholic High School. A spokesman for the high school today said that he was expelled, but declined to state a reason.
Mr. Perkovic said his friend stopped attending classes so he could take get his General Educational Development certificate then join the Marine Corps.
Records indicate that Mr. Poplawski was dishonorably discharged from the corps during basic training. Friends said he wanted out so he could rejoin his girlfriend.
When that relationship failed, Mr. Poplawski moved for two years to Florida where he worked as a glazier, helping to asemble and replace windows. He returned here in 2006 or 2007.
Mr. Poplawski collaborated with Mr. Perkovic on an Internet show that featured clips --- sometimes from local news broadcasts, other times video from around the town --- where they discussed politics.
Mr. Poplawski lived with his mother and grandmother in Stanton Heights. Friends said his parents had split years ago and that his father "was totally out of the picture."

wow, i cant stay away from this asshole. lets get this straight...
1. he was afraid that obama would take away his guns
2. so he shot three cops
i guess in his twisted little mind this makes sense. well heres the scoop. he exactly the kind of guy that should have his guns taken away. he had an ak47. why should anyone in this country be allowed to own an automatic weapon? now i know you fuckin nra guys are going to scream that its your god given right. well guess what...its not. the smart men who wrote the constitution never envisioned automatic weapons. they didnt want a government taking away their hunting rifles so please save your posts (i could write your posts and i could do it better).
this asswipe shouldnt be given a trial. he should be taken out in the woods and someone should put a 22 round in the back of his skull. no burial either...just let the animals take care of him.
and why is there always somone who says he was a good kid. heres a clue...no he wasnt. he was expelled from high school, dishonorably discharged from the marine corp (they clearly saw he was nuts), fired from his job, living at home with his mom......need any more?
i guess the bottom line is that you cant stop these ticking timebombs from going off, just make sure they arent on your porch when they do.
if they have trouble finding someone to stick the needle in his arm call me, i got the time.
i hope he has a special place in hell with charlton heston.

'Own an automatic weapon?'
These are semi-automatic weapons, (unless illegally modified or you have a very high and expensive permits and oversight).
And thanks for deciding my gun rights. I've decided you cannot drive a car...you may run over alot of people if you go nuts.
yeah a semi-automatic is much safer than fully automatic in the hands of a girlfriend beating mama's boy like little dick poplawski. I am digging your rage and appreciate the go fuck yourself sentiments addressed to gun nuts. This wiener should definitely not have had any guns I think that is fairly obvious.
Here are my own similar thoughts on this pathetic subject:
