A trifecta of WRT AND the FGS dropped on time. Life is good. Leave it up to the Woman that knows what’s going on v the Man in Charge.
The FIRST Linky is well worth checking out just to catch the glance of TV Reporter Alexa. Long legs and short skirts always make me feel good.
Number 2, winner, winner, chicken dinner. A face not even his Mother could love. Think that is why he broke into her house. Just looking for love in all the wrong places.
Number 3; Surprised this one hasn’t made the national news as a school shooting, after all, it happened “near a school.”
Number 2 needs the Whiz Wheel!
Whiz Wheel®™ results are:
Xavier Tyler Slayton (WRT) 33 x 2 = 66
Bonus points are awarded to the “Staff” writer of WDBJ7 for calling Slayton a “victim” while trying to rob his mother’s house while free on bond from a previous arrest in June for violating probation./s
In case you were wondering, in Story number one, the gun used by the store employee was licensed. That fact seems to be a big deal since the newsbabe repeated it twice.
My takeaway: In the Bronx, you don’t need a license to rob a grocery store with a gun;however, you do need a license in order to defend yourself with a gun. Good job New York.
While stationed in NJ I illegally smuggled a weapon from CT, thru NYC and stored it recklessly (ie NJ has storage law) at my apartment.
If someone was stupid enough to come thru my door I probably would have gone to jail, alive tho.
When I moved from Long Beach LI NY to Florida back in Dec of 2007, I had my firearms in my car and traveled by way of the New Jersey Tpke. The whole trip, my hands were white knuckled on the wheel until I crossed the Delaware Memorial Bridge. Federal law says that it is legal to transport firearms through state lines in a move from one state to another, but those ANTI 2A new jersey state troopers don’t recognize what the federal law says. Fordham in the Bronx was a nice place to live back in the day. The bodega store owner most likely got his carry permit on the basis of having to transport money to deposit in his bank.
