Charges dismissed in deadly Damascus shooting involving father, son
Charges were dismissed in the case of a deadly Damascus shooting involving a father and son.
William Paul Fuller, 69, of Damascus, shot his son, Jason Fuller, 35, on Sept. 1 during a confrontation near Southeast Eastmont Drive and Southeast Shady Lane, according to the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office.
“We don’t understand how anybody could murder anyone, but especially your own son. That’s your blood. It just doesn’t make any sense,” said neighbor Erica Wiley.
Deputies, Oregon State Police, and Sandy police officers responded to William Fuller’s home just after 10 p.m. and attempted first-aid and CPR on Jason Fuller, but their efforts were not successful, according to the sheriff’s office.
“He was really nice,” Wiley said of Jason Fuller. “He loved his animals. He had some dogs – just a really sweet guy.”
William Fuller was detained after the incident and several firearms were seized.

A grand jury did not issue an indictment in the case. The district attorney’s office filed a motion to dismiss the charges and a judge signed off on the dismissal.

Starting the workweek, Delta Whiskies and Whiskettes, with a score of two, one and none, for two family slayings, a lucky hunter, and none in the wind; at least for today.
After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville

The operation was a success but the patient failed to rally.
Not sure where I heard that but it sorta applies here.

Apparently a psychic. Sounds awfully familiar.
I feel for the guy who had to shoot his brother. That’s gotta be hellacious to go through.
Got to be more the story on the father shooting his son, as well, if they no-billed him.
Two true “Family Affairs.” Pity. Happens more often than one would like. A number of similar cases here locally of late.
My sympathies to the orphaned bear cubs. Their Mama was just doing what came natural.
Nice little hideaway hand howitzer you got there Mister. Would you sell it?
History and poli science lessons today?
Why yes it is; at least there’s no math.
For sale? Nope. Some have a security blanket. I have a deep cover BUG. My Manhood is good with that.
At least it wasn’t Bullwinkle who got shot up in Alaska.
Since the Feel Goods seem a bit light today, here’s an item to add some extra shazam:
Captain America Arrested
Police in Mississippi said Friday they have filed burglary charges against a man who was caught breaking into a homeowner’s garden shed at 3 A.M. one night last week while dressed as Captain America.
The homeowner, an unidentified former Marine, heard the break-in and held the suspect, identified as 36-year-old David Hobbs, at gunpoint until police arrived to take the fake super hero into custody. Bond has been set at $25,000. At the time of his arrest, Hobbs was on probation for a prior grand larceny conviction.
