Saturday morning feel good story
This morning’s story comes from Mississippi and it takes two articles to tell the story because English is a lost language among journalists down there, I guess. First from WREG;
Bernice Watson was having a cookout when she said she heard what she believed to be a Hummer pulling into her driveway, and then saw two men walked up with a gun.
She stumbled as someone shoved her inside to safety.
“Yeah, I heard the pops. I head the gun when it popped. It said boom,” she described.
When she came out, two men were dead on her lawn.
Next from MyFOXMemphis;
District Attorney John Champion said he’s not releasing the victims’ names but family and friends identified them as Wayland Bownes and Recco Leland. They were shot at a Shiloh Road home in Courtland, Mississippi, during a cookout.
Champion told FOX13 the shootout stemmed from a fight over the weekend involving a boy who lives at the Shiloh home and a group of other guys.
The two victims showed up at the home Wednesday night, pulled out a gun and the boy who lives at the home shot and killed them. Because of the “Castle Doctrine”, there will be no charges in this case.
See, you needed two articles to squeeze the details out of that one, didn’t you?

The two aren’t “victims”, they’re DMFs.
Damned right they are not victims, they are perpetrators and instigators…..and they were rewarded as such!!
“It said Boom.”
Classic quote.
The two dead wankers showed up bringing a gun and they are ‘victims’? Of what? Their own stupidity?
Bernice, guns don’t talk. They only make loud noises when fired.
You have to live down here to understand honestly. Sometimes I have to go over what is said in my head before I reply.
Goes to show, if you’re gonna show up at a barbeque, at least bring a bag of chips or something for the outing. If you just bring your gun, your appetite and a bad attitude, it might be your last barbeque,
WTF? What’s sad is that I’m sure that the reporters and editors all have some kind of college degree. Yup, we be edjucated.
Shows what the embeciles learn in college doesn’t it?
Point of order: The less, um, erudite expressions are in quotes. Journalist in Mississippi haven’t developed the habit, it appears, of paraphrasing when first-hand accounts are not in perfect English.
Then what did the gun say? And did the other gun say something first that was offensive? Maybe it’s really just a first amendment thing.
Would the dead guys be victims if they had set the lawn on fire instead of brandishing a scary old gun?
Would the outcome have been different if they were driving what sounded like a Buick?
Ok, you win the internet for today. 🙂
What does the gun say? *BANG!*
What does the doofus reporter say? *babble* *babble* – *DUUUUUHHHH!*
