No word on the victim’s condition, or what the object of desire was. Thanks, Gun Bunny.
No law ever written has stopped any robber, rapist or killer, like cold blue steel in the hands of their last intended victim.

Presumably the Chi Town shooter was educated in the Four Esses, the 4th one being “Shut Up”. And the best way to shut up is to not be there when the po-po eventually come around asking questions.
Well done, Chi Town shooter, well done.
With a name like “Shaneque”, let me take a SWAG at the melanin content of her skin. Hmmmmm..
And speaking of names, where’s Claw? Hope he’s ok, and has the Whiz Wheel in good order, need him to take a spin at the two miscreants in the Jackson story.
Yeah, selling stuff through any of the social media sites can be iffy. Why couldn’t the buyers have come to the seller’s house?
