Son. Drunk, naked, and stupid are no way to go through life.
Deputies: Intoxicated teen found sleeping naked after breaking into home, ignoring warning shots
by Vernon Freeman Jr. and Melissa Hipolit
STAFFORD COUNTY, Va. – A teenage boy has been arrested after deputies say he was found sleeping naked on a couch after breaking into a Stafford County home early Thursday morning.
A Stafford County deputy responded to a burglary in progress at a residence on Pierce Court.
Upon arrival, deputies safely the homeowners and their baby from the home.
Deputies then located a 16-year-old suspect who was naked and wrapped in a blanket while sleeping on the living room couch. The teen, whose name has not been released, was removed from the home.
An investigation revealed that the homeowners were asleep when they heard a knock on the door and a male subject repeatedly yelling for them to let him in.
Deputies say the teen ignores warnings to leave the property and began kicking the door and nearby window. This prompted one of the homeowners to grab his firearm and fire a shot into the ground as a warning to persuade the suspect to leave.
According to the homeowner, the suspect didn’t even seem to notice the gunfire, and eventually broke a window and entered the home through the basement.

It sounds like in story #2 the 16-year-old kid was too drunk to have any malicious “intent” to commit a crime and almost got his dumb ass shot for his stupidity.
“Police said the 75-year-old man is OK”
Of course he is. He did not live to 75 by being a victim. Good for him.
The assailant was a woman. I mean, even at 75, if I ever need a gun to defend myself from a woman, then clearly I’m a giant fucking pussy and deserve scorn from my male peers.
May you live well, prosper and have the opportunity to experience life as a senior citizen.
Rhodes, you are a giant pussy and you are an endomorph.
Fine some place else to voice your vitriol.
Guns were made for women to protect themselves from men, not the other way around. We were born with superior physical attributes and your decision to use a tool to even out the odds against a significantly inferior opponent is pathetic at best. You should literally be able to repel most female attacks by simply telling them there’s a shoe sale at JC Penny.
Nothing I read said whether or not she was armed. If she was, then she certainly deserved to be shot. If a woman points a gun at you, go ahead and try to be manly. Personally, I’m just going to shoot her.
Too young and stupid to understand Arthritis, or recovery from Cancer, or any other of the many, many disabilities of the greatly aged.
But, you felt threatened enough by it to engage in chest-thumping.
-that- makes -you- the pussy.
I bet some 75ish year old participants on this blog could whip your pussy ass here and now while you are still young.
Unless you’re a woman, this threat really doesn’t apply here. Also, you just proved my point by implying that there are 75 year old men out there who do indeed still possess the ability to defend themselves without a gun.
And you just proved my point. That you are a chest thumping pussy.
🙂
By the way.
How many women have you had to fight LCpl Rhodes? I’ve fought more than a few and some of them held their own.
I’d wait until you are 75 to boast. Youth is a gift wasted on the young.
FrankieCee comes to mind.
Now that’s funny!
LCpl;
If you were a true Rhodes Scholar, you wouldn’t try and diss a person because of her/his age for being involved in certain physical /confortations. You would be smarter than that.
May we assume that you are not yet 75? But, you have already earned the scorn of your male peers.
Interesting.
Two.Can we give the Lance a chance?
Maybe logic escapes the poor kid and exposure therapy is in order.
I don’t get it. If annoying comments were the standard for dismissal, who wouldn’t be barred?

Cav, RD, & Tw,
I’ll retract the ‘two’ since he did add something to the conversation here and on another post. ‘Till now he’s made nothing but one line snide remarks, which pisses me off.
It’s pretty simple. Don’t piss me off and waste my time on my posts.
99% of the annoying comments here are at least entertaining, and expected.
Like yours.
*grin*
Probably. As the old axiom goes, you don’t know what you don’t know, until you find out. After the preliminary excoriation he’s received this morning he may find a newed meaning to respect his elders.
Hell, he might even learn something, Ron White not withstanding 🙂
When I met Omar Bradley he was 82 years old, I was about 25. He was in a wheelchair, I saw a giant of a man.
Just wondering if I had of been that stupid and disrespectful as a dumbass young’un, would I have lived to become a crotchety old man?
F with me and I will shoot you…graveyard dead. Not gonna run and don’t want to risk breaking my knuckles/hand beating up on your hard head. Broken knuckles/hand may hinder my ability to hold an adult beverage container or cigar.
Old and frail, bones decalcifying, tendons shot, and all the cartilage worn away.
Throw one good punch at advanced age and cripple your hand, probably permanently. -any- wound or injury is likely permanent. Just hit the ground hard and become an invalid.
Yeah, no. Gramps gets a pass.
AW1Ed
How did you cross out the word Two. I can’t seem to cross out any words that I type in.
It’s access to the WordPress Dashboard, Jeff. We Mods can do edits and the like, but unfortunately you commentators cannot. Nature of the beast, sorry but there it is.
The biggest complaint here is the inability to correct typos- same thing. No access, no edit. I help where I can, but I can’t be the blog spell-checker and actually have a life beyond TAH.
Hope this answered your question, as unsatisfying as it was.
Just did a time hack- happy new year’s eve, y’all, and good night.
T̶w̶o̶
There are ways for us mere mortals. ;P

Next you’ll give away the secret handshake and the TAH decoder ring.
16 and wrapped in a blanket.At least the story wasn’t covered up because of his age.
Maybe he thought he was working an undercover operation?
Lars has called us racists and he has called us Nazis. He prefers an economic system whose ultimate manifestation is communism. He makes up stuff and asserts that stuff as fact. He riles people here with his inane comments. He sought to hide behind a new screen name but was discovered when he used the term “board,” setting off bells and whistles. And after all of that and more, he still posts comments. Are you saying that all he has to do is be disrespectful and that would have done it?
That’s a fact. I don’t think he or Yef would survive a vote of confidence. Looking at the time of the good LCpl’s posts, alcohol may have been a contributing factor.
Speaking of Yef, where has he been the last month or so?
He’s been around. Mostly calling TOW a communist for some strange and unapologized for reason.
Slow Joe is Yef if you missed the memo.
I try to maintain my own posts; what the other Mods here do is their own business. If you haven’t noticed, TAH is now mostly self-moderating, and no one has been banned since Dave took over.
At least, yet.
Lars is a known factor here- I tolerate him as long as he doesn’t push my buttons, which mainly have to do with direct personal attacks.
Mr. Rhodes introduced himself by making a snide comment and scampering off, only to show up again elsewhere with another snide comment. This annoys me. He’s done better- sort of- so I gave him a pass after a warning. I don’t see what’s unfair or confusing about that.
If I’m missing something I count on you, Cav, and a couple others to speak up, like now.
I’m just a very traditional Conservative who pretty much resists all societal progression, and that turns a lot of people off. I’m a true misogynist, anti-crime, pro-large government, pro-war, classic Republican. Interestingly enough, I had extensive conversations with Jonn before he passed; giving him a hard time over his claimed “Constitutional Libertarian” views because he was anti free-trade and open borders, two of the most basic fundamental principles of the Libertarian Party. We both respected each other, however. R.I.P., Jonn.
OK, LCpl Rhodes. We got off to a rocky start, but that’s in the wake, at least as far as I’m concerned.
Jonn’s loss was a huge blow to us all, and it’s taken time and a lot of effort, most behind the scene, for TAH to recover as far as it has.
So I’m a bit sensitive, especially to unknowns who jump in as you did. I try to be fair, and I know who here can take care of themselves, and who may need a little help. Or a kick in the ass as a last resort.
I’m not one-way. Believe me I get my share of grief, but that goes with the territory. Wouldn’t have it any other way.
So welcome aboard, comments are welcome but be advised. It’s sink or swim here- a thick skin and a sense of humor are the best armor.
” I’m a true misogynist, anti-crime, pro-large government, pro-war, classic Republican.”
Say WHAT?
“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.”
Sounds like Ex had you pegged from the get-go.
Had quite a few “classic Republicans” in my family and they claimed none of those things except being anti-crime.
Somebody is seriously ill informed.
I went to LBJ’s funeral. After Reagan fired the renegade ATC the Republicans got my attention. It wasn’t until McCain that I became a Conservative.
R, D or C, I still respected my elders. Politics is such a small part of life, it is sad to see folks polarize against one another when there are so many other aspects of life to find common ground.
Even the most wicked person gets cold in the winter, tired after a long day, thirsty, hungry and horny… well, we all hope to order our priorities, even IDC! 🙂
Looking back, to the early 60s, I chose AuH20. God bless my parents, they did what they could.
a. “very traditional Conservative”
b. “pro-large government”
Which one of these does not go with the other?
Yeah, looks like we have an asshole in the woodpile.
Always good to know the content of their character, early on. FWIW, I now doubt if he has ever served a day in uniform
Yeah, saw these. I’m a big tent type, and as I said, self moderating and sink or swim.
Understood. The site has so many interesting people with great stories and a vast repertoire of knowledge. Going big tent makes it receptive for those of similar interests, military background and general camaraderie. (even for Air Force ice cream machine service techs! 🙂 )
Misogyny has no place, anywhere, outside of Islam. Jonn would not likely have indulged such a fool, for long, before putting him front and center.
Tw, love you like a brother, but do you seriously think the TAH Lionesses will put up with misogyny?
I can hear Ex filing her claws from here, and she’s smiling.
Self moderating, and the vultures are circling…
LCpl Rhodes
I’m a long-time lurker here, from a country far away, and I can smell your BS from across the Atlantic.
None of what you espouse as your “standards” have anything to do with being conservative.
It also appears at 1st glance that you are misrepresenting yourself as having served.
A tiny bit of interweb research gave me this:
https://marines.togetherweserved.com/usmc/servlet/tws.webapp.WebApp?cmd=ShadowBoxProfile&type=Person&ID=129859
If that is who you have chosen to be your “avatar” then you are truly depraved.
I suggest that you ratchet down your damn ass-holery and start reading before your fingers hit the keyboard and yet again reveal the shallowness of the gene pool that you were birthed from.
You are a ‘true misogynist’? Really? You dislike and/or despise females?
Why is that and why would you even say that to us? That’s immature as hell and also has no place in society. Are you a veteran? I’m kind of doubting that you are. If so, did you serve alongside women? If you did, how were you able to function well with those you despise? You picked the wrong crowd to announce to that you despise women.
You’re off to a bad start here. We’re a big tent but those who are arrogant, hateful fools tend to not do well on this site. Don’t know how you can ever regain respect after having made that statement but I hope you stay around and give it a try, I really do. The more the merrier.
Almost inquired how a “true misogynist” differs from any other type misogynist. How many types are there anyway?
Or “very” traditional conservative.
Even his words are embellishing.
LCpl Rhodes, are you a veteran?
