A Dixie Carpetbagger

On Mother’s Day, I treated my mother to a good meal, some good conversation and an afternoon of picking blueberries* that ended with me being able to display my pistolcraft.  You see, I felled one of her mortal enemies– a cottontail rabbit– from 20 yards with a single shot.  Draw, aim, front sight, press… and the raider of the garden was dead.

Meanwhile, the Defenders of the People’s Republic of Kalifornia can’t put down a deer at 5 paces without emptying a mag:

Oh, and the animal control officers there “were not trained to use the specialized [tranquilizer] guns.”  Man, good thing we train our public servants, right?  Imagine if we let mere mortals have these tools!  [/ Sarcasm off]

I feel sad for the deer–  not a single critical hit, and it couldn’t even lay down and die in peace.

*Elliott’s and Scrub Blueberries, not the Rabbiteye type.  Rabbiteye berries are the most tasteless rip-offs I’ve ever seen.

Craig Lancaster wanted to prove that Chicago Police officers are treated the same as others when they break the law, Cook County prosecutors said.  So in a drunken argument with a friend last summer, prosecutors said, the 41-year-old veteran officer shot a gun in the air outside an Ashburn bowling alley where he also worked security — and waited.

Hmm, this sounds familiar…

Ah, now I remember.  But, this guy did get arrested… only to be acquitted at trial.  Glad to know Lady Justice works so well without a blindfold…

“They pull a badge, you pull a gun!”  Not that bright, a move, actually.  The cops, however, did better– one jammed the hammer, and the other fired a single shot, killing the suspect.  Good job by the NYPD.

My only real observation here is that the guy’s name was Michael Romero… is he any relation to Ric Romero?

Pulling a gun on a police officer might be hazardous to your health.  Update at 11.

Cop pulls over stripper. Cop gets… “happy.” Cop shoots the love gun on stripper. DNA proves that the pearl necklace was a gift from the cop. Cop goes to trial. Slam dunk case, right?

Wrong.

Here’s a quote from his defense attorney: “She got what she wanted, she’s an overtly sexual person.” What’s worse is that this attorney’s name is Stokke. He’s the father of Allison Stokke, the pole vaulter now Internet famous. Mr. Stokke doesn’t like the attention his daughter has been getting. Mr. Stokke, I don’t think that the lady you called a “overtly sexual person” liked the attention she got, either.
