A true trifecta today.
One in the morgue.
One in the hospital (staph be upon him!)
One in the wind (just follow the brown trail)
What a pleasant way to start the day. TY AW1Ed.
The shooting stats of Baltimore and ShitCongo seems almost ready made for a betting pool.
Which city will rack up the most shootings for a weekend? A month? Over the year?
Place yer bets, ladies and gents!
I’ll place my bets on Chicago – it’s a much larger metro area.
Unless you’re talking on a per capita basis. Then I’ll take Baltimore.
See what I mean?
Place yer bets!
Per capita, while fair, would also expand the betting base.
Win-win. I think.

Here’s more about the Stand Your Ground case in Florida. It reads like a “how not to do road rage” primer.

Plenty of stupid to go around there. I’m sure no alcohol was involved.
Riiiight.
This is -way- off topic, other than one line that is most definitely my “feel good” moment for the day:

Money quote:
But Mike Berry, chief of staff to First Liberty Institute, told Fox News Weinstein’s “constitutional arguments are almost worse than the Star Wars prequels.”
Just -awesome- burn!
Clips! an assault rifle with Clips!
Testify Gnrl Patton. Wasn’t that long back that the Garands were a dime a dozen. Now, everybody wants one and it is a seller’s market.
Macon Georgia (Maconga) has exceeded Shitcongo’s per capita tally.
Good to see Fayettenam is still the sh^thole that we all remember. You can have your perps your way.
I get rage every time I have to be around a bunch of no driving, cell phone talking, get out of the hammer lane, box headed idiots. Not mad enough to where I would shoot them, but it would be nice to have a set of quad .50s mounted on the roof; or maybe a surplus GAU-8. You know, just to encourage the others.
Here’s some Sage advice…if you wood quit smoking Winstons or Salems and get out to the range more the perp would be slabbed and tagged, not in the wind.
My “gunz” are smart and stay safe without a lock on them. I taught the chil’ren how to act when they were around.
Hey, they could be Marlboro people. (Find that one on a map! I’ve been there—well, the one nearby, not the palace.)
Fayette-‘Nam! Only place with a SuperWalmart (the one on Skibo) that closes Midnight to 0600 because of riff-riff…
The Merc road was always fun also.
Hey, isn’t it the Skibo parking lot that SFC Coombs (the Phony WalMartian) hangs out in that windowless white van? Yeah, I thought so. I’ve heard that if you ask him the right questions, SFC Coombs will tell you that Week 4 of the Basic Airborne Course is the toughest week./s
Yup, he’s the dude there who keeps upgrading his “pants from the service” from BDU to ACU to MultiCam to keep his panhandling current.
AWEd;
I and my former M-1 THUMB thank you for that nice pic. Had a chance to get a free Garand from a guy I worked with. He rebuilt Garands and offered a free one to me but at the time, I wasn’t into rifle shooting. I should have taken him up on his offer and just put it cosmoline and stored it.
We’ve all passed up on and let go things we come to regret.
Oh, yeah. .30-’06 mojo!!
