“seven gunshot wounds to his chest”

Good shooting. Remind me to stay on your good side.

“Shoot until the threat is nullified.” in practice, it appears.

And that, Ladies, is how it is done. You do not have to be a victim, or become a statistic.

Homeboy in Colorado Springs showed a lot of heads up and restraint. I’d prolly just went ahead and shot the SOB, several times.

I emphasize that to MRS D, “center mass, repeat until the threat is stopped”.

Any info on group size?

Who cares? Seven shots, to the chest/torso, good enough.

Very nice, tight pattern I’m sure.

If this doesn’t make you feel good all over, you have a heart of stone.

A Woman Shoots Her Husband For Stepping On The Clean Floor…

A police officer jumps into his squad car and calls the station.
“I have an interesting case here,” he says. “A woman shot her husband for stepping on the floor she just mopped.”

“Have you arrested her?” asks the sergeant.

“No, not yet. The floor’s still wet.”

What happened to the concept of a speedy trial? Hunter shooting happened in January 2015, and she’s just now getting a verdict?

Graybeard

For current US jurisprudence, that is as “speedy” as it gets.

Between court dockets, lawyers’ schedules, the process of discovery, the time it takes to get reports from labs and LEO agencies, it drags out. Unfortunately.

The story out of Foristell, Mo. – “…a jury found her not guilty of shooting her husband…” Well, that is some kind of jury that finds a woman not guilty of something she said she did – “…she told dispatchers that she shot her husband…” Another reporter who cannot read a police report nor write accurately. Why is it we don’t trust organized news?

Very little follow up on the 3 Houston home invaders shot Saturday morning. Still no names or pictures. A Brit paper today said the homeowner was 20, knew some of them and thinks they were after jewelry. But 4 days to release info seems excessive
