James Deon Korfhage calls

| September 4, 2014

So here’s the call I got a few minutes ago from James Deon Korfhage who is apparently on his way to kill me and torture my whole family. So if you don’t hear from me in the morning, you’ll know why;

What a nut!

Flagwaver

Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill ’em right back.

Kinda old ET1

Try not. Do or do not, there is no try.

So he’s in Georgia? I’ll just leave this here:

§ 16-11-37 – Terroristic threats and acts; penalties…(a) A person commits the offense of a terroristic threat when he or she threatens to commit any crime of violence…(c) A person convicted of the offense of a terroristic threat shall be punished by a fine of not more than $1,000.00 or by imprisonment for not less than one nor more than five years, or both. A person convicted of the offense of a terroristic act shall be punished by a fine of not more than $5,000.00 or by imprisonment for not less than one nor more than ten years, or both; provided, however, that if any person suffers a serious physical injury as a direct result of an act giving rise to a conviction under this Code section, the person so convicted shall be punished by a fine of not more than $250,000.00 or imprisonment for not less than five nor more than 40 years, or both.

Dumbass!

I heard two people on the receiving end so the would be at least two counts as well. Recorded,good night Irene as the saying goes.

billo

These laws are there for a reason. This is like stalking, domestic violence, and the other behaviors that indicate obsessive tendencies or poor impulse control.

Most of the time these threats are nothing. In a significant number of cases, however, they are followed by action. In some of the deaths I’ve investigated, the action doesn’t even have to be overt attempts at homicide, but instead actions taken simply to harm that go awry.

Take if from someone who investigates the bad outcomes from this kind of thing. Call the cops. Bring charges. Don’t wait for it to escalate into activities that cause serious physical, emotional, or financial harm.

Ex-PH2

My, such a limited vocabulary kornflake has!

Let me know if he ever does show up.

Jonn Lilyea

You’ll read about it first.

Green Thumb

Welcome to my world.

Wesley Wilson AKA Enigma4you

I believe that Deon’s mouth just wrote a check his ass cant cash

HS Junior

I’m afraid to ask, but just how many calls like this do you get?

Jonn Lilyea

Since I added the part in the “contact us” page that I record all calls, I get fewer.

rb325th

Hey Kornhole… your parents have any children who lived?

Jon The Mechanic

I once had a drill sgt who gave basically the same speech. However, I am fairly sure that the DS had the ability to do it.

This neckbeard sounded like he was winded just talking to you over the phone.

Can you videotape him wetting himself if he manages to get out of his mommy’s basement and actually gets to your house?

10thMountainMan

Be careful, SFC. This guy was in the Army for a little while.

Old Trooper

Well, now, he DID say, in the recording, that he’s gonna show Jonn what a real Ranger does. Funny; I don’t recall a real Ranger talking shit so much, just doing and letting the results speak for themselves (and I know/knew a shitload of real Rangers).

HS Junior

So, he’s going to launch a one-man assault on a combat-experienced US Army paratrooper weapons enthusiast with 22 years in the army? I really can’t understand why he couldn’t hack army bootcamp. I really don’t.

deep throat

You should have asked him to pick up Paul K. Wickre so you can get a twofer.

It wouldn’t be hard to miss them…look out for the shot bus

Wesley Wilson AKA Enigma4you

Remember Jonn he has 21 days of Intensive Army training from 15 years ago.

Plus an all night drive, will prob have to stop a few times for redbull and to beg for gas money.

rb325th

He won’t be begging, just pimping himself out at the truck stops.
Did he actually tell Jonn he would show him a “real Ranger”? Rump ranger maybe…

Wesley Wilson AKA Enigma4you

He said he was going to show Jonn what a Real Ranger could do. I guess he is going to try to find one on his way to West BY God Virgina

A Proud Infidel®™

21 days of Army Training? I wonder if he was on KP to the point where he can sling a serving spoon like Giduck does a shovel? Now that it’s recorded, I’m sure that alerting LEO’s and getting a BOLO or APB on him will be no problem.

Ex-PH2

It’s been a while since the fireplug known as PN Fenstermacher yelled at me, and I survived. But I think I could take him. Did I tell you guys I also cook?

Kinda old ET1

Why yes… Yes you have.

That Guy

Can you send him my way? I’m bored.

nbcguy54

Hey Kornfuck! While you’re out getting diapers, drop by my place in Texas too.
S a n A n t o n i o T e x a s.
I’m easy to find – just follow the sound of my laughter.

Ya see, I knew it had to be an issue with his name…

That Guy

His name is hilariously lame. ‘Korfhage’? You fuckin kiddin me?

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

Not funny … I had a Korfhage on the back of my neck, it really hurt, ugly it was and I had it surgically removed … Then we killed it in a lab with science!

Growths like the Korfhage decribed above must be removed and …

Green Thumb

At least it was not on your ballsack.

Ask Palmer (of the Ballasck).

A Proud Infidel®™

Hmmm, possibly a Wickre/whatshisname disciple in the Supreme Temple of teh stoopid? Since he made that threat across State lines, does that qualify him for Federal Charges as well?

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

Two words:

Parole Officer

Or

District Attorney

Or

Bad Mistake

Editorial Note:

I have been to Jonn’s house and let me say this … Dat ain’t a lamp on his night stand! Next to the coffee pot … In the garage … Atop the shitter in the head (latrine) … Every where you look …

Ta Ta!

PS: Give that joker my number and let me ‘spain something to him!

A Proud Infidel®™

If he’s on probation or parole, that phone call ought to make him the “Property” of Bubba & Thor very quickly, just what he said ought to bring charges, and with him already having a criminal record…

Wesley Wilson AKA Enigma4you

Having spent an afternoon at the world HQ of TAH myself I can say it is well well secured building that is easily defended.

That aint no bb gun on the table

68W58

I kind of see Jonn sitting there talking to himself like this: It’s been two whole weeks since I killed me a man. And already I’m startin’ to get the itch. Problem is I got nothin’ to scratch. Hungry for action, hungry for blood. Hell, I’m just plain ol’ hungry. Feel like I’m gettin’ weaker, while phonies gettin’ stronger on the internet.

Derek

OMG! Thank you for referencing Major Benson Winifred Payne!! You made my day and won the internets!

Old Trooper

One of the best all time comedy movies. “Gotta be someone needs some killin’? “Nope, you’ve killed them all”.

TacticalTrunkMonkey

“You want me to tell you about the little engine that could, again?”

When I come back, I’ll tell you what Bubba used as a penis!

Derek

You hold your liquid in public you little turd!

What are you looking at AssEyes?!

Ex-PH2

If you need something transcribed, I’ll do my best, although I will say that kornholeflake was so incoherent at times, it was difficult to understand his garbled speech.

Still, I’ll try.

clamsgotlegs

Did he say he was “shitting in his car”? Cornholio needs TP for his bunghole.

A Proud Infidel®™

Almost as incoherent as Psulmer on a Boone’s Farm & T-bird binge, ain’t he? That joker sure bumped The High Priest of the Temple of Teh Stoopid back for a few, but hey, that’s a pretty big salvo of teh stoopid, I’m sure he’ll be caught before he even reaches West By-God!

Flagwaver

I had a former Marine 1SG and I used to have to transcribe some of his more incoherent ramblings for the Commander. If you need help with a word, let me know. Otherwise, it’s easier to hear if you wear earplugs and turn it up really loud.

(I’m actually not joking about that. For some reason it makes it easier to understand people who talk like that)

Ex-PH2

I do have two sets of earmuffs I could employ for this purpose.

Just an Old Dog

Oh boy. James Deon Korfhage ( google hit) you have doubled down on the stupid. You could have just been a fart wafting in the underwear of Stolen Valor gradually fading into oblivion. Now with that one idiotic phone call you have blossomed into a full blown shit-stain from bunghole to waistband. In the words of the Great President Abe Lincoln “Now you fucked up”…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-ah5xJz6ZU&hd=1

He’s making a late play for a higher seed in the tourney. He might just upend the donut slayer. Say it ain’t so!

I am here Cornhole.

And I am easy to find.

He sounded a little winded toward the end of the conversation there, he might need some water and a nap before he kills you and torturers your family.

Wesley Wilson AKA Enigma4you

It’s easy to be amused by this ass-hat’s call. Chances are he has worked himself into a good rage that will burn out someplace around the SC/GA border.

But it may not. He may be that one in a million that all reason is lost and he makes it to WV. (If he does he will prob have to call John again for directions to his house)

I hope he cools off and realizes his foolishness.

A Proud Infidel®™

All it ought to take is a call to LE and playing the recording to them while Jonn files the report and he should have either a BOLO or an APB on him in no time, that’s some turbocharged stoopid coming from Kornflake!!

Just came up with an idea:

1. Send him money for Grey Hound bus ticket to TAH Corp Worldwide HQ (cab fare probably needed as well).

2. Muster all REAL RANGERS (active, reserve, retired and former) within 75 mile radious at TAH HQ.

3. Film event for ABC’s “America’s Funniest Home Videos”.

4. Save the ammo for another day!

Wesley Wilson AKA Enigma4you

No need for Rangers, A Den of Cub Scouts would be just as effective

A Proud Infidel®™

Sounds like some very lazy LEO’s to me. Prior felony, violated parole, and now he’s made a death threat, but they’re telling you to shut TAH down, WTF has this world come to?

Shawn

I hope you recorded that phone conversation as well. SMH

Green Thumb

Just stay prepared for the variable.

This clown is loose stool.

Be safe.

Well, I’m sure they’ll show up with the coroner to clear off the front yard.

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

Jonn,

Brew a pot of joe, turn on TCM channell and start shining your bullets!

Or go to sleep. He will probably drive off the side of the road and into that canal or off the side of one of those VW cliffs …

I have been there … NO ONE should be driving at night in those there parts!

Just an Old Dog

“Their advice was that I should shut down the blog.”

YGBSM…
My respect for the people who make decisions for LE agencies dwindles more every day.
There are always pleading with people to curtail their god given right to free speech or actions so they won’t have to fill out paperwork or actually have to do their fucking job and protect people.
What would they tell a farmer who keeps getting his watermelon stolen? “Stop growing watermelons”

WV State Police, thats some weak ass sauce…

Ex-PH2

Try to understand the mental state of LEOs nowadays.

They are afraid of their own shadows and think you should be that way, too. Hence, the increasing number of lawsuits against police departments and people wondering why the cops take so long to show up.

OldSoldier54

That is pathetic.

ConcernedCitizen

That’s some awful advice.

Cornholio

“Their advice was that I should shut down the blog.”

Sounds familiar – “Well, if she doesn’t want to be raped she shouldn’t wear a short skirt.”

Just an Old FA Sgt

Just sayin…if anyone wanted to inform the local Police Dept…I’m sure they would be interested in this.

http://www.lawrencevillepd.com/tips.htm

A Proud Infidel®™

I second that if you already haven’t done so, Jonn. I think that if they’re even the least bit more competent than the WVSP, they’d at least put a BOLO or APB out and relay it to other States he’d be passing through to get there, and they might have a Prosecutor willing to do his job there, I sure hope so!

Sarge

isn’t Korfhage latin for fruitcake?

clamsgotlegs

from Ancestry.com

Korfhage Name Meaning German: probably an occupational name for a peddler who carried his wares in a basket, from Low German Korf ‘basket’ + Hake ‘huckster’

Hondo

So, clams – you’re saying this fool is a basket case? (smile)

clamsgotlegs

if the name fits…

AW1 Tim

I’m thinking that the best thing for Jonn to do is to give the local Georgia cops a call, and maybe also the Georgia State Police.

At least have the info on file with them so that if anything goes down, they can’t tap dance and say they weren’t informed.

Currahee John

There is no such thing as the Georgia State Police in these parts, and the Georgia State Patrol would have minimal, if any, interest in this. The county sheriffs do tend to pay attention to such matters, but if he is in Lawrenceville, that is Gwinnett County, which is infested with a serious and growing problem with some of the more active and violent hispanic gangs. I doubt they will pay much attention, either.

Sounds like one of those clowns that spends long afternoons at Discount Army-Navy or Hodge’s Army & Navy Store bragging about his own awesomeness, while trying to find the XXXXXL ACU’s.

Green Thumb

And in the prior post he appears to be around a child.

That’s a problem.

Turd.

Scary.

GDContractor

Is he on the FirsTech Inc. of Bethesda, MD payroll? I wonder if he really thinks tomorrow is payday.

Green Thumb

This turd is a big frog in a small pond and he probably just got “squashed” by his fiends or people he knows.

He has no other option.

Probably beats his women as well to compensate considering his words and emotions.

Just a general, all around loser that could not cut it. Dirtbag.

Weak sauce.

I hope he does not have kids.

Open Channel D

Hmmmm, not a lawyer, but seems to me using the telephone to communicate a terroristic threat across state lines is a federal beef. I’d see if Homeland Security wants to open a case file on Korfhage.

Old Trooper

Not only that, but the second he crosses state lines, it becomes a federal case as well.

Well, I’m sure the WVSP will have plenty of paperwork to do when they have to clean what’s left of him off Jonn’s porch. Then they will have to show up and do their job.

Old Trooper

Also; I’ve witnessed Jonn shooting and that boy ain’t got a prayer.

Melanie Korfhage

If you need us please let us know. He is threatening us as well. I’m sorry to have brought this on to you and your family, as well. Please, if you do decide to contact the police let us know because we will be here to help your case. It’s myself, my husband and our two young daughters. We have no idea where he is located so we aren’t even sure who to call, but this solidifies our need to be worried. My email is melanie.korfhage@gmail.com if you would like to get in contact with me

Just an Old Dog

I’m guessing some chick he was trying to put the moves on through that dating site googled his name and cancelled their date.
He had probably stolen a pair of clean undies and socks out of the local laundromat, knocked the dog shit off hit boots and dumped half a bottle of Old Spice on himself. On the way to her house he snatched some flowers out of a graveyard and had prepared himself for some courtin’ and sparkin’.
She probabally called him and tld him his shit was in the wind.
Now he has a case of raging blue balls and has to settle for a date with his 300 pound cross-eyed cousin at the waffle house to get loved up on.

Flagwaver

Hey, now. Don’t be insultin’ the Waffle House. The three I went to in and around Beaufort were not too bad.

Hack Stone

I think that he has a legitimate claim against Jonn for felony cockblocking.

MrBill

Fuckin’! Fuckin’! Fuckin’! Fuckin’! Fuckin’!

MrBill

James Deon Korfhage – phony – terroristic threat maker – shitbag.

Andy

lulz. he went from zero to full retard in less than 5 seconds. Most posers usually take the long route, Korfhage went straight to the final stage of grief.

Andy

Also, I love how he claims in the call that he “tortured” “ragheads” overseas.

clamsgotlegs

I think the correct phrase is “he done went full Wickre”. 😉

Wesley Wilson AKA Enigma4you

He has also made threats against his brother and sister in law. His brother is Active Duty Navy.

This could be real bad.

A Proud Infidel®™

If he’s done that as well, they ought to have a nice fat file on him, thus I’m all for letting LE Agencies in his area know about this. Odds are that since he’s a quitter, (his service time proves that) he’ll probably just give up and quit his pursuit very soon. Another possibility is that if he keeps driving like he says he will, he’ll fall asleep behind the wheel, and bye-bye dumbshit!

AverageNCO

Notice how JDK is getting so irate, yet Jonn stays so cool & calm. I’m sure some would attribute it to the military bearing of a seasoned platton sergeant. I think it’s simply due to the fact Jonn knows he has more ammunition and a superior firing position.

FatCircles0311

Stay safe. Too many scumfucks out there these days. Maybe if you tell the police you’re a transgendered minority that is being a victim of Internet bullying they’ll show up. Ask for Eric Holder by name and that the NAACP told you to call the police because your civil rights are being violated by racist Tea Party white people. MRAP will show up with swat.

Lurker

Here is another profile where he claims to be a “retired army ranger”

http://www.pof.com/viewprofile.aspx?profile_id=80584078

nbcguy54

“deonk914: I don’t dance”

I reckon he had better learn to dance. I hear it’s all the rage….

MedicSMFH

It looks as though he’s taken the “big bad ranger” info off of his dating profile. Now it has a nice little “im not a rapist” tag line. … he really knows how to get those women! !!

Wesley Wilson AKA Enigma4you

I just had a long conversation with one of the other parties involved.

Here is the basic story. This guy has been rocking the lie for a long time. He lied to family and stole from them when they were trying to help him.

His ex girlfriend caught on to his lies and dumped him. He has tried to convince everyone that all of this was made up to hurt him.

No one believes him so tonight he lost his shit and started threatening everyone he could think of.

His family has confirmed that he got set back in basic then let go for failure to conform. That works out to the time frame of 21 Days just about right.

No one knows where he is. He has been kicked out of every place he has lived and all anyone really thinks is the truth is that he works for a trucking company.

Lurker
Wesley Wilson AKA Enigma4you

That info is no longer valid. He has not worked there in months

E-6 type, 1 ea

Right on. It what was on his facebook profile, so I sent them both links anyway, just in case. Thanks for the heads up though.

John Robert Mallernee

Shucks, this video has the same problem as Don Shipley’s videos.

I can only understand half the conversation.

Anyway, if he was really sincere about his threat, he wouldn’t have called and made himself a target.

As it is, by making that telephonic threat, he’s already subjected himself to arrest and prosecution, plus civil liability.

I ain’t even a lawyer, but I know that much.

By the way, although I was scheduled for cervical spine surgery yesterday, at the last minute, while lying on the gurney waiting for the anesthesiologist to start the lethal injection, after which the surgeon would cut my throat, I was granted a stay of execution due to a urinary infection.

Gosh, gee whillikers, where did THAT come from?

I did enjoy a hearty last meal, and planned to say as my final words, “100, 99, 98, 97, – – – zzzzzzz”.

But, I had fun, as I told a nurse that I was a heroine addict, because I like girls.

It took her a few seconds to catch on!

After the surgery was cancelled, another nurse said my lunch would be coming up, to which I just HAD to respond with, “If my lunch is coming up, does that I’m sick?”

Heh! Heh! Heh!

Nyuk! Nyuk! Nyuk!

ROFLOL ! ! !

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

John,

Just a thought, maybe you should be blogging over at the “New England Journal of Medicine” site … Just saying!

LOL!

Kinda old ET1

“Bring it” “You done yet?” “You better pack a lunch” “Bye Bye”

You da man Jonn.

MSGRetired

Stupid is as Stupid Does, but I’m willing to bet he doesn’t have the balls. Just like all the rest of the assclowns out there.
I think he plan’s to torture your family by telling stories of his heroic military deeds hahaha

Planet Ord

John I’ll look into this guy. Seems he is from my area. Wouldn’t it be interesting if he was in my jurisdiction? If not, then I’ll forward it to someone I know wherever he is from. I’m betting low resources means he hasn’t left Cobb County since 2006.

The hitch is that under Georgia law wherever the threat is received is where the crime occurred. I. E. West Virginia. It is very difficult in the cell phone age to determine the exact location where a call originated from. It’s lots easier to determine where it was received.

Either way, I think people around here should be aware of this wing nut. It’ll be next week, but I will look into it.

Hondo

Actually, Planet Ord: if you have the time of the call and the originating number, the cell company involved can tell LE what cell tower was used to originate a call. Unless that tower serves multiple states, determining the state in which the call originated then becomes quite easy.

Determining the county of origin may or may not be possible, depending on whether the tower’s coverage area includes multiple counties. But for violations of state law that shouldn’t be much of a consideration.

Planet Ord

Hey Hondo, I’ve done my fair share of cell call origination investigations. The information the cell companies give on a cell site request usually goes something like this: ‘The call originated within 1200 feet from tower X.’ Then they will provide locations for the tower in another document. I’ve had cell site requests get as close as 500 feet, but that’s rare. 1000 feet is a good average. Drawing a circle that big around a tower can yield many residences and apartment complexes. It will also usually include several jurisdictions. Every now and then it will ping off of two or three towers and you can use the areas where the circle overlap to narrow things down, but that doesn’t happen often. You can only get that information with a duces tecum, subpoena, or court order. It’s all moot really, as the crime occurred in West Virginia. No ADA will sign off on any document in Georgia, because no crime occurred within their jurisdiction. Without that document, the cell companies will tell you to piss up a rope. This guy seems like he’s just a blowhard. He’s probably more entertaining than he is dangerous. Jonn’s got him pegged. His rhetoric is disturbing and is a felony, though. It’s worth a cursory look out of an abundance of caution IMO. BTW, I’ve had exactly one success story resulting from cell site data. One. That was a long shot that panned out, amazingly. Most of the time it is a waste of time. BTW, determining the county of origin is easy. That’s not to say that determining jurisdiction is simple. violations of state law are handled by local jurisdictions, not any state agency. The only time the GBI would get involved is if the local jurisdiction asks them for assistance. In many of the metro Atlanta counties the county PD can only work in unincorporated areas of the county. The cities are policed by their own city police forces. The County sheriff’s usually only handle the jails, courts, and specific investigations like fraud and runaways. I say all that to say that… Read more »

Old Trooper

BS. I am forced to watch Law and Order (my wife likes that show and she claims that she has to watch a lot of my bs shows) and they always know where the call originated. And that’s NYC!!!

Bwahahaha!!! I crack myself up! Happy Fiday, peeps!!!

Hondo

Yeah, there is the fact that GA law is rather . . . odd when it comes to who investigates and prosecutes violations of state law. But I’ve seen other states that were similar with respect to forcing counties/cities to prosecute state crimes vice having an effective state LE force.

The fact that GA law deems crimes to have occurred at other than their actual location is IMO more troubling. This appears analogous to saying that if someone stood on one side of a county line, they could escape prosecution for a shot killed someone across the street 25′ away – but in another county – if that other county refused to prosecute (or was not interested in doing so) irrespective of the fact that state law against murder had been violated. That’s the kind of legal technicality that gives the legal system a bad name.

In this particular case (telephone harassment originating in Georgia), what this implies to me is that GA is willing to ignore felony crimes of this nature that originate in-state using a cell phone but which cross state lines. (It also implies that GA could become at least a partial safe haven for those perpetrating such unlawful harassment.) Sounds to me like GA is simply more interested in palming off the trouble of enforcement in such cases to others (e.g., other states, Federal authorities) than in actually enforcing the law.

IMO that GA law needs to be changed to allow the crime to be prosecuted in either jurisdiction of call origin OR jurisdiction of call receipt. A second legal change allowing violations of state law to be prosecuted by the state authorities independently of local authorities in cases such as this (e.g., crimes committed in a mobile environment for which the general location can be determined to be within the state, but for which precise location cannot be determined) is IMO also needed. YMMV.

Commissioner Wretched

Hondo …

Your comment: “The fact that GA law deems crimes to have occurred at other than their actual location is IMO more troubling. This appears analogous to saying that if someone stood on one side of a county line, they could escape prosecution for a shot killed someone across the street 25′ away – but in another county – if that other county refused to prosecute (or was not interested in doing so) irrespective of the fact that state law against murder had been violated. That’s the kind of legal technicality that gives the legal system a bad name.” makes me think of an incident in which such really did happen, back in 1948. If you’ve never read it, find the book “Murder in Coweta County” and see how a man almost got away with murder, and was only prosecuted because the crime took place in a county other than the one he lived in. (It helped that there was a corrupt sheriff in his home county and a very non-corrupt one in the other.)

Hondo

CW: haven’t read that. But it doesn’t surprise me. There are any number of well-known crimes that fall into that category.

“Law” and “justice” are NOT synonyms. They should be – but because laws are written (and enforced) by fallible humans, they most decidedly are not.

Planet Ord

I’ll have to check that out. Sounds interesting. Thankfully, where I live the local sheriff’s would not be involved in that type of decision. The same is not true across the state.

Planet Ord

On the outside looking in it might appear awry. I can tell you that the system does work. I’m not familiar with the Coweta County incident, but I’ll look into it.

In your example of the shooting across a state line; that would be up to the county DA’s to arm wrestle over. It would get prosecuted. At least in Cobb County.

It is also irrelevant to the matter at hand. The matter at hand involves crossing state lines through electronic media. In this case the ‘victim’ lives in West Virginia and the perp in Georgia. I’ve given it some thought and truly believe it’s a federal crime. Good luck getting that investigated.

It is an interesting argument, though. Knowing the prosecutors in Cobb like I do, I imagine they would consider prosecuting it. The state law is designed only for issues within the state. It is designed to establish local jurisdiction. It really makes sense when a guy calls a few block over and does that crap, but a few blocks over is another jurisdiction. The location of the victim determines the location of the crime.

I’m not aware of any state that doesn’t allow local jurisdictions to enforce state law. It’s not as screwed up an idea as you think it is. Many, if not all, states have state agencies with clearly defined missions. Georgia does too. But the locals always enforce the bulk of state laws.

I can also assure you that Georgia isn’t willing to ignore serious crimes. I’ve put people in prison for phone calls like that.

The question is if anyone has officially called the local jurisdiction to report the crime? As soon as you can answer which jurisdiction should be called you can see why the law is written that way. Much easier to do it where the call was received.

Gravel

HOLY SHIT this guy is unhinged.

USMCE8Ret

Couldn’t resist posting the link. I can imagine this would be the result if Kornhole showed up in West Virginia. (The guy in the white shirt would be Kornhole – on the receiving end…)
