Today’s double trifecta brought to us courtesy of our own Gun Bunny. Just, damn.
Americans have the right and advantage of being armed – unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers No. 46 at 243-244.

FIRST, and 6 more off the streets, feeding the worms. I am told that the stolen Dodge, in Georgia, could be picked up by two guys and a couple of wheelbarrows.
But you just know that these the family members of these yutes will file a lawsuit against the police department because if they did not pursue these choir boys, there would not have been a collision.
And the deputy would not have pursued those choir boys if they weren’t already going 100+mph at the time. They were an accident waiting to happen. It was inevitable that those choir boys would join the “‘choir invisible”. (see any Norwegian blues?)
Spot on Tox and Hack. “If you or someone you know has been killed during a high speed pursuit, you may be entitled to compensation…1-8WE-SUE-4YOU…CALL NOW!” That stretch of I-75 is well known for having a patrol cruiser parked in the same spot…for DECADES….24/7/365…GSP/Monroe SO/City of Forsyth PD. Sometimes all three (3). DOT built them a nice little turn around/parking spot so they can see and go in either direction.
Two (2) suicide by cop and four (4) by trees. WW is surely grinning.
“…first double stack polymer frame…” *sigh* FTA “…wait with baited breath…” Wonder if Ol’ Boy was snacking on red wigglers, night crawlers, crickets, or minnows?
The 2nd A doesn’t give you the right to bear arms, it prevents the grubermint from taking your arms. Molon Labe, mofos.
To avoid any law suits from the family members, the LEO’s involved should have been using the Fergussen effect by not doing any car stops, pursuits etc and cooped behind a strip mall talking about retirements and wage increases. I wonder if the speeders were playing the song Hot Rod Lincoln on an 8 track as they sped into eternity. Nice night for a roast.
OK, really, am I the only one here?
Going for the low hanging fruit…

Those 4 gents bought the ticket and done rode the ride. My parents always told me ‘you are the company you keep’. Often true as those idiots put my bacon too close to the fire but ultimately I lived and (supposedly) learned. Those kids didn’t. Sucks to suck.
Just got back from the cesspool known as Hartford for a protest on the opening of the ‘legislative’ session. Good showing of about 600 people of various mindsets, united on the notions of Liberty for All. Too much crap on docket and trapped in “leaders'” empty skulls to mention here. Lets just say, if these aliens even if they accomplish a margin of these subversions of our rights, I will be pushed from the land my ancestors fought for and conquered.
Pray for Connecticut, and when she perishes from this earth, remember her as she was.
The first four deaths don’t count toward a trifecta cuz those dumb bastards, or anyway the one driving, killed themselves. I call upon our beloved Claw to issue a ruling, if anyone disputes my assessment.
