The article on the juvenile shooter caught my eye. I’m a Juvenile Detention Officer with 18 years on the job. Seen it many times before.

Outcast

0/3/0, not the best trifecta but will pay out unless it is rolled over with the odds for a three in a row trifecta, standing by. Under age teen trying to pursue a career in the foot steps of probably one of his seniors, bang welcome to real life kid. A hammer, oh well now have time to contemplate your error and lady next door gets range time. Maybe next time she will do a better job if you try again. Another old man hasn’t learned anything yet, control yourself and make the neighbor come confront you, end result is better. Wonder if this is something to do with story about neighbors and the driveway dispute from last year. Got to love these neighborhood disputes as seem to be a rising trend. Another shiny pistol, the only shine I want to see is the shine at the exit end when pull trigger.

Outcast, that’s the FIRST I thought about a bonus payout of a 3 fer poor man’s trifecta. If it happens, the payout or the 3 fer, not sure if it would be the FIRST time it happened. Only the Claw knows. And he will be the FIRST to let us know. Speaking of which, wonder if the guy named his hammer Claude?

Another 0/3/0 that shoulda, coulda, had oughta been 3/0/0. Still, a 3 of a kind, and who knows, maybe the 3 fer poor man’s trifecta will be a bonus round.

The shiney gunz are to give the Bond, James Bond types, a little added bling.

There’s a difference between ‘stainless’ and ‘shiny’.

Outcast

Both still reflect light at night, you know that might be an idea here, what if a law was passed that the perpetrators were required to only use shiny weapons at night so the cops could better protect themselves in the dark. Might mean we would see more 3/0/0.

5th/77th;
“Claude”? Groan!!!!!!

It’s 5th/77th, you were looking for something else, he’s not a misleading clueless type like Lars

That juvenile who tried robbing the gas station could have learned a lesson from listening to Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers hitting the notes to “I’m not a Juvenile Deliquent” on Gee (1956). I guess the failed attempt on the gas station was not a gas at all. I met Frankies Brother Louie Lyman (Teenchords) a few times at Ronnie Italiano’S United In Group Harmony shows (UGHA) in Schutzen Park, N. Bergen NJ.
