Throwing rocks?

Author: Ian Smay
ONNER COUNTY, Idaho — The Bonner County Prosecuting Attorney has determined that the shooting death of 39-year-old Joshua Matthew Cole on Oct. 12, 2018, was a “justifiable homicide” carried out in self-defense.Cole died after being shot by 41-year-old Jimila Hall in the Clagstone area outside of Spirit Lake, according to a letter from Louis E. Marshall, Bonner County Prosecuting Attorney.
Hall shot Cole in her driveway after he approached her and her 70-year-old mother Theresa. Robert Johnson, a man who Cole had allegedly began chasing after as Johnson drove away, said Cole then approached Hall and her mother, according to the letter.
Cole ran shirtless toward the two with his fists clenched and Hall armed herself with a baseball bat and handgun. Marshall said in his letter that the fact Hall grabbed a bat and not only a gun showed that she did not intend to kill Cole.
Despite Hall telling the man to stop, he continuing running at them, at which point Theresa threw rocks at Cole in an effort to stop him. As he got closer, Cole told the pair “I’m going to get you,” according to the letter.
Hall fired a shot at Cole when he got within approximately five feet of her, striking him in the chest and killing him, according to the letter. Hall began life-saving measures but Cole later passed away as a result of the gunshot.

Because pointing a gun at security always ends well.

Two security guards had been hired by the motorcycle club and instructed to pat down everyone who entered. Certain members were allowed to bring weapons inside.
Happy birthday, Steve. Read the rest here: The News Tribune
Let’s see, looks like 3 / 0 / 0 or three mort, zero hospitalized or otherwise inconvenienced, and none looking for opportunities to excel.
A TAH trifecta.
Knew it was just a matter of time. Now get to the range and practice. Ya think these targets will shoot themselves?
Bunch’a slackers…

Picking up a baseball bat before you shoot someone in self defense seems like a brilliant idea. I think I’ll duct tape my H&R Handy Gun.410 to my Louisville Slugger right now.
Awkward, be better to inbed it inside the bat, barrel inside barrel of bat and pistol grip end inside bat handle.
Bayonet lug mounted with wood scews.
Early to bed, early to rise. Nothing good is likely to happen after leaving a bar at 03:30.
Alrighty dickweeds and weedesses, belly up to the bar, the drinks are on my tab. You may recall from Monday’s FGS I was at the window, continuing to bet that the trifecta was coming. Well we hit big, The Triple Crown at the FGS Window. Win, place, and show, you can’t go wrong playing a Possum Jones song, be it at the track or in the bedroom. “She’s as smooth as Tennessee Whiskey……”
No, not a good idea to f’ with the old man. At our age a life prison sentence isn’t that long.
Del Ray: Do your betting at the track boys. Unlike the nfl, the ponies don’t get together in July and plot out who is gonna be playing in January.
Idaho; When screaming, waving a bat, and throwing rocks just won’t work, a well placed round at center mass will.
Steve’s swan song…”It’s my party and I’ll die if want to, die if I want to,… you’d die too if happened to you….”
Tennessee Whiskey and Pepsi here, day is even better as neither Ms P or her wannabe 1/100,000,000 Native American were on the news this morning.
I’ll have an extra extra dry martini? That would be gin in a glass with olives wave the bottle of vermouth over the glass and set it down (no need to break the seal)!
I always said it was just a matter of seeking out the stories…not a matter of if they happened each day.
Thanks FA, I’ll take a nice glass of Parrot Bay!
Oh how I love a FGS Trifecta in the morning!
Wood, Wood, Wood, Morning Wood!!
Someone called me?
I’m just wondering how long the Idaho incident was going on: She had time grab a bat and gun (each hand?), yell at him, throw rocks (did she put the bat or the gun down?), and then finally shoot him (one shot to the chest) dead!
Is she like a baseball pitcher throwing rocks at over 30 feet?
You must be describing those big city girls, go out to the country some time and watch some of those girls and they will surprise you with their strength and abilities outside your bedroom thoughts.
Thirty feet is half the distance between bases on a softball field.
Eight year olds throw rocks that far.
yes, I use the 30 feet representation as a reference to the Tueller Drill. Not how good she was at throwing rocks.
Another City of Delray Beach shooting. I’m in the unincorporated Village of West Delray Beach. The shooting was around 5 miles from my residence.
Not to worry Jeff, I don’t think they could hit you from that distance. Even a Barrett won’t shoot five miles.
Security Guards were there to pat patrons down for weapons, but some patrons were allowed to bring in weapons? WTF, over? Must be like everyone has to go through TSA screening at the airport, unless you are a Congress member, because we all know that when it comes to integrity and obeying the law, you can always count on your Congressional Representative.
Lol no yo club hires private security? That’s a first and the security is competent?! hahaha they lucked out.
Fans of the Pro-2A meme should consider the works of Oleg Volk, a photographer of some note, especially with gun-folk.
Some of his work is NSFW. Not vulgar, but occasionally showing ladies with less clothing than workplace dress codes tend to require.
On further review, (I hadn’t visited his sight in quite a while) he has become somewhat less restrained in some of his work. Definitely NSFW. Sorry about that.
