Nice Photo.
Not so nice comment by Spike Lee:
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1999-05-28-9905290188-story.html
Phuque Spike Lee…”the problem is guns.” Like to sell tickets to the event where that sissy punk tries to take out Charley Heston. When these modern Hollywierd types gonna realize that “playing a part” in an action movie or directing same, does not make them a true Billie Boy Badazz.
Update on Huntington Story shows Mama changed her story. Guy was NOT abducting the little girl and he has been released by the popo. Mama may be charged.
As for the rest of the score, I’m with WW on that. 4/0/0 is how it shoulda read. Also wid ‘Beans on the Whiz Wheel score. May be a bonus payoff to the FGS Winnings.
The article says Spike Lee says “Shoot him with a 44 Bulldog”. I just finished a book on the assassination of President James Garfield in which he was shot by a 44 British Bulldog. Thought it was interesting that he thought of the 44 Bulldog and not some other more common weapon.
Son of Sam gun…..Charter Arms Bulldog in .44
PROBABLY why he said that, jus’ sayin’….
AWI, the last story said the two in the wind were captured? I think the box score needs an adjustment? More range time people, more range time!
They were caught and released to the wild. Thanks for the comment, but since they are no longer inconvenienced, they count as “In the wind.”
Sorry, they should have been hung by their nuts until dead!
“Jerry Murassaint, 16, and Lamartine Malbranche, 15”
Southwest Florida/ Haiti?
Claw?
Those two are not real high but if Claw has enough score board he ought to try Mohamed Fathy Hussein Zayan. 24 letters might as well as call him alphabet.
“grabbed the child by the hair and attempted to pull her away,”
Same thing was in the news about a year ago maybe two. Mom beat the crap out of the guy
until some one intervened.
Scary shit. Glad she was armed.
The article said it was a “cultural misunderstanding”. Pedophilla is a big part of certain cultures. Just ask Charles Martland.
1/2/2, little weak but still getting some more out of the swamp. Mom changed story about an Egyptian with most likely a doo rag they wear, wonder how much she was paid to do it. Shot several times and recovering, some one better give up his gun or get better trained as to use, center mass is target and either critical or DRT is objective. One dirt nap and 2 others not harmed, what, only single shot gun, only own 1 bullet, upgrade and get one with at least 7 in mag capacity and shoot more than once and at only one. Some of these vic’s need some serious help. Have coin purse in pocket 5th as looks like light job at window today. Oh yeah, am not going to question results score, am already in lowest cellar and don’t need AW and the rest in the penthouse adding on a new sub floor here. Oh crap, late for KP here, am gone.
Forgot to mention, one got dirt nap (?) in Denver last night, investigation ongoing.
Sister Mary Grace took a moment away from contemplating the grass now growing on the front lawn in order to note the following: “Murassaint also faces a charge for Tampering or Destroying of Evidence.”
If ‘destroying of evidence’ is how the local po-po word it, it is not correct. If that is how the reporter (and SMG uses that term loosely, as always) phrased it, well: BAD reporter! BAD BAD BAD reporter.
The correct terminology is “tampering with and/or Destruction of Evidence”.
Sister Mary Grace offers two thumps with the No. 15 yellow pencil and returns to watching the grass grow.
You got grass? Any Robins yet?
I heard the robins about two weeks ago, so yes, they are here, along with starlings and grackles and blackbirds.
