Milwaukee mom fatally shoots intruder, claims self-defense

By Olivia Land
A Milwaukee woman claims she was defending her children when she fatally shot an intruder who entered her home.

The mother of two, who asked to remain anonymous, said she was showering before work Monday morning when she heard her 12- and 14-year-old screaming from the living room, news station TMJ4 reported.

She immediately ran to her room, grabbed her gun, and confronted the intruder, who was undeterred by the family’s two pit bulls. She then shot him multiple times.

“It all happened so fast — an adrenaline rush,” she told the outlet.

Milwaukee police have not identified the man, who she said was in his 30s and acting erratically. The mother was arrested on the scene, but was released several hours later after questioning.

The case is being referred to the district attorney’s office.

Shoot to stop the threat. Shoot a lot- they’ll make more bullets.

Papa John’s worker attacked over missing pepperoncinis stabs customer, MD cops say

BY MOIRA RITTER
A Papa John’s worker stabbed a customer in self-defense after the customer started a fight about missing pizza toppings, Maryland cops say.

It happened late Aug. 17 when Herbert Harris, 40, returned to the restaurant with a pizza he had recently purchased to complain about missing pepperoncinis and garlic sauce, according to a statement from the Harford County Sheriff’s Office.

Harris’ complaint led to an argument with a store employee. As the argument escalated, Harris stepped behind the front counter and shoved the employee before chasing him around the store and attacking him with a metal pizza paddle, the statement says.

After being chased, the employee grabbed a pizza spear and stabbed Harris in the stomach in an act of self-defense, investigators say.

Hey, the man wanted his pepperoncinis. Now WTF is a pizza spear?

Those who beat their swords into plowshares usually end up plowing for those who kept their swords.

Should have put some pepperoncini and some Thorazine on that pizza.

It does piss you off when you have expectations for something pretty ordinary only to find that it is other than ordinary. Learn to cope, ask for a refund, free pizza, credit on another pizza and be glad for what you have.

A pizza spear is long stick with a sharp hook on the end. It is used to pop cheese bubbles that appear on top of the pizza during baking.

Ours was more like a 4 ft long spear with a big sharp two pronged fork on the end, definitely do some damage to the meaty bits.

Some dumbasses and another Mama Bear scoring a DRT. Life is good. Papa John is not Burger King. You can’t have it your way. I have never had an order messed up that wasn’t made right when I asked politely. Manners, just like intelligence, are in short supply.

The Zulu Nation used their spears to great effect, making sure they had plenty of people to do their plowing…and the plowing for others.

Meeting today Girls and Boys. Y’all play nicely till I get back.
