Stabbing death believed to be ‘justifiable homicide’
A coroner’s inquest jury of six Ozark County residents has found the stabbing death of Robert Christian Chambers of Gainesville on Feb. 12 to be “justifiable homicide.” The decision came Thursday afternoon.
The Ozark County Times is reporting the opinion of the coroner’s inquest jury is only taken as a consideration by the prosecutor. It is not a legally binding verdict. The prosecutor may still file charges.
The jury was charged with determining if criminal charges should be filed in connection with the incident or if the action was the result of non-criminal self-defense.
Chambers died at a home near the Arkansas-Missouri state line, after he was reportedly stabbed in the chest with a “sword” following the break out of a fight.
The identity of the man who stabbed Chambers has not been released.

A pair of DRTs and one inconvenienced, Delta Whiskies and Whiskettes. Bring on the bluff to take the pot.

An extra, just because. Something about keeping your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target. I think this was caused by complacency.

One offed with a sword, and then a Sword apparently brings a knife to a gunfight.
You can’t make this stuff up.
Found this over at American Thinker.

Not the typical “feel good”, but definitely -good-
This works as a feel good story 11B. As a former rescue swimmer I cringe at stories like this. If you go, have flotation of some sort and know how to deal with a rip. The’re usually 100 yards wide max, so swim parallel to the beach until your are free of the rip, and paddle to shore.
BZ to the Marine, but he was lucky.
No bluff needed to take this pot. The hand has been turned into a full house with the bonus story. Aces (2 DRT) and 3 Eights (balls). As Hondo so eloquently pointed out above, Mr. Sword toting a knife to a gunfight (DAM) (1 eight ball), the popo with another DAM causing a Staff Summary Sheet for the rest of the shift (2 eight balls). Aces & 8s full house takes the pot.
Besides that, the other players were distracted by Ruger’s Rendition of the designs of the Saintly John Moses Browning (Howitzer be his name). Whose deal is it next? Ante up!
“entered the home and was confronted by the homeowner, who shot and killed him”
“breaking into a home where he was shot by a homeowner”
I don’t care if the door is wide open, you do not
enter someones home unannounced, uninvited, unwanted or
unknown by the owner.
As I once said to an unexpected guest
“Wrong house”
He concurred, at about Mach 2
Ok. All the comedy and low hanging fruit is already taken. So I will say this on the first story.
The coroner’s jury has made a decision.
The prosecutor CAN decide against the jury, and decide to press charges against all common sense. BUT as I understand it, most prosecutors are elected. If he wants to be re-elected, he needs to go with the coroner’s inquest jury and drop all charges.
So it looks like a police officers’ gun “just went off”.
Article does not say how many times the gun fired when it just went off.
However two officers were hit.
The article also does not say if any of the ones hit were the one holding the gun.
As a matter of fact all the interesting details of rifle or pistol, semi or full auto or even caliber are missing from the article.
Still, it is interesting to note that none of my guns, or those of my buddies have just gone off.
I have had a negligent discharge which was scary but no one was hurt.
I wonder if the officer had a negligent discharge?
No, not possible.
Gun must have just gone off.
