Free range melt-down in a LA metro station, surprise. Hopes for a swift recovery for the guards. Over a citation? For the record, I never held any animosity towards the Po-Po when they issued me a well-deserved Speed Award.

Poor victim selection skills, and they called it “Cinderella Liberty” for a reason.
Mom Walks into Horror Scene at Ind. Hotel — and Shoots Man Allegedly Trying to Rape Her 12-Year-Old: Reports
Story by Sean Neumann
A mother pulled out a gun and shot a man who she found attempting to rape her 12-year-old daughter in an Indianapolis area hotel room earlier this week, according to police.Bruce Pierce, 39, was critically injured in the shooting and later charged with attempted rape, attempted child molestation, unlawful possession of a firearm, and confinement, according to Fox 59 and WTHR, which cite court documents.
Pierce has been registered on Indiana’s Sex Offender registry since September 2019, according to state records reviewed by PEOPLE. A warrant is currently issued for Pierce’s arrest in connection with the latest incident, records show.
The 39-year-old waste management worker was previously convicted twice on child molestation charges in 2016 and is currently classified as a “sexually violent predator,” state records show. He was sentenced to eight years in prison for the previous charges.
On Saturday, May 24, a mother allegedly walked into a hotel room to find Pierce pinning down her 12-year-old daughter with a gun in his hand, according to Fox 59 and WTHR, citing court documents. The woman’s daughter allegedly had part of her shirt ripped and said that Pierce was attempting to rip her clothes off while holding her arms down against the bed, the outlets reported, citing court records.

According to WTHR, the 12-year-old girl and her sister woke up their grandmother on the night of May 24 after realizing their mother hadn’t come home. The grandmother and the two children drove to a local Baymont Inn where they discovered the mother with Pierce in the hotel lobby, the outlet reported, citing court docs.The mother and her other daughter were taking items to the family’s car when the 12-year-old girl was left alone with Pierce in his hotel room, WTHR reported. According to the outlet, when the mother returned, court documents allege she heard her 12-year-old daughter saying, “No, no, no,” while Pierce was allegedly on top of her and holding her down.
The mother then fired multiple shots at Pierce using her own weapon, WTHR reported, citing court documents.
Fox 59 and WTHR report the family was able to get away from Pierce and drove from the scene, while Pierce was later taken to Eskenazi Hospital and treated for his injuries.
Pierce was last seen at a local Regal 8 Inn on West Washington St. in Indianapolis, according to WTHR, but has been missing since Tuesday morning.

Lots of personal responsibility questions here, and why didn’t thr Indy Po-Po get to speak with the perforated Mr. Pierce at the ER? Thanks to Gun Bunny and Old Tanker for the links.

Early one morning
In the middle of the night
Two dead boys got up to fight
Back to back they faced each other
Drew their swords and shot each other.
The deaf policeman heard the noise
And came and arrested those two dead boys…..
I forgot about that one.
Here’s one my uncle used to use;
“How many ants does it take to kick in the side of a battleship? Two ducks because one leg is both the same.”
My uncle was very strange both before and after he went to Viet of The Nam.
The folks running the ER can tend to be rather liberal and refuse entry to Police in treatment areas at times. Sometimes they do change their mind. I had an aggressive drunk who lost his fight at the bar in the ER prior to going to the jail. The doc refused to treat him unless I removed the cuffs. The doc was advised that was not a good idea but he insisted. After the drunk nearly took the docs head off with a roundhouse swing the ol’ doc decided he did not need said drunks hands free to stitch up a scalp wound.
So a liberal was hit upside the head by reality and became more conservative?
What a novel event. (Do I really need the “/s” tag?)
Nutjobs gonna nutjob…until they are shown the error of their ways.
Cinderella Liberty, indeed. A real pumpkin head move on the part of the perp. As for the vic?…nothing good happens after midnight.
Mama Bear should’ve managed to lay waste to that waste of oxygen. A real waste of her time to be around his trashy ass to begin with. Makes one go….hmmmm. Now there’s going to be a waste of taxpayer $ to keep his ass locked up.
Prepare…
Plink plinking away is all fun and games until someone picks up something that makes an Earth Shattering…KA-BOOOM!
Why is a mother of teen aged girls hanging out with any guy who looks like that?
Face tattoos should scream; “I’M DANGEROUS TO CHILDREN AND OTHER LIVING THINGS”.
In another feel good story..,
It looks like Xi JinPing has lost his attempt to consolidate power and his effort to reestablish Maoism has failed.
China is about to enter a period of political turmoil.
Xi losing is great news since he was an extremely malignant narcissistic sociopath like Mao. Very dangerous traits in a leader.
Also, I think Putin is finally cooked too. He probably has less than 24 months.
What, no job security in the PRC?

Thanks!
I’d say this is also a feel good story of sorts.
