Dueling Pistols

Police: Man shot, killed after trying to break into his ex’s Gonzales home

GONZALES – A man was shot multiple times while trying to force his way into his ex’s apartment over the weekend, according to police.

The Gonzales Police Department said Tuesday that 35-year-old Joshua Jones of Donaldsonville was initially hospitalized but later died from his gunshot wounds.

Jones reportedly tried to break into the apartment on South Lanoux Avenue late Saturday night, while the victim’s new boyfriend was also inside. Police said Jones was shot as he tried to shatter the bedroom window.

This certainly resolves Mr. Jones’ unhealthy fixation with his ex.

Man fatally shot after driving away with Wisconsin deputy hanging from vehicle, authorities say
It was not immediately clear whether the deputy being dragged was also the deputy who shot a man.

GENOA, Wis — A sheriff’s deputy fatally shot a man in southwestern Wisconsin after he drove away from a traffic stop with a deputy hanging from the man’s vehicle, authorities said.

Friday evening’s fatal shooting occurred after deputies from the Vernon County Sheriff’s Office were sent to a residence in Genoa for a welfare check, the Wisconsin Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation said in a statement.

When deputies arrived, a man was leaving the home. Deputies made a traffic stop but the man began to speed away with a deputy hanging on to the side of the vehicle, authorities said.

A deputy then fired and hit the man, who was pronounced dead at the scene, the department said.

No LEO injuries fortunately but the question remains- now that you’ve caught it, what are you going to do with it? Thanks for the link, Gun Bunny.

I weep for the liberty of my country when I see at this early day of its successful experiment that corruption has been imputed to many members of the House of Representatives, and the rights of the people have been bartered for promises of office.

Interesting link and article on the duels (almost wish the practice would return).
AND…..for KoB, a bunch of Rabbit Hole links at the bottom of the page, to keep him busy, entertained and educated for awhile.

The problem with dueling in general, is that a skilled and brave bully can get away with much personsl mayhem and abuse under the code.

Also, imagine criticisizing some rich Valor fraud, only to be beset by a half dozen paid challengers who take offense at your comments. Sooner or later, one gets lucky.

There is also the requirement that the combatants be approximately social peers. PVT Schmudlapp can’t challenge his CO. Joe six-pack can’t challenge a billionaire.

Dueling has some real downsides, especially under the traditional codes.

Reworkable? Certainly. Not sure it is a net positive outside fiction.

But just in case, I have a set of flintlock .45s. Call me optimist.

Thx for the rebuttal. Always an education here at TAH

That Jackson quote is all the funnier considering he essentially remade his Donk party into a major spoils machine that has only metastasized with time.

That, and telling SCOTUS to go piss up a rope when the Cherokee won their case against forced relocation.

He must have been one hell of a Soy Boy. He couldn’t even break a window. [“Police said Jones was shot as he tried to shatter the bedroom window.”].

Weird that you’re not seeing it on the news or weird that weirdos were doing weird sh^t? I would put on a surprised face, but that shelf is as barren as my field.

2fer DRTs on Thursday beats Tuesday libs of tiktok all to hell. Some good TSS delivery.

Andy and Sam both were power hungry land grabbers. Sorry, not sorry, that’s just the way it is. YMMV. Some things never change. Maybe we should bring back dueling for Kongress Kritters…or better yet…canes.

Matched set of reproduction, percussion cap, in God’s Caliber (.45 for those that haven’t been keeping up), in a glass topped presentation box here at Firebase Magnolia. Picked ’em up at an Estate Sale about 15 or so years back. Almost felt guilty when I paid $20 for both and the box…Almost.

Real good synopsis on dueling til fan boi had to bring up a reference to plasticized abominations at the end. *sigh* 🙄
