A 47-year-old man is in critical condition after he was shot multiple times after he allegedly fired shots at two men on Chicago’s Southwest Side on Sunday afternoon.

According to Chicago police, two men, ages 29 and 21, were driving in the 7900 block of South Knox Avenue in the city’s Scottsdale neighborhood on Sunday evening when another man pulled out a gun and began shooting at their car.

Both men then pulled out their own weapons, striking the 47-year-old man multiple times.

Sheriff: Florida mother shot burglar who entered home because ‘dinosaurs were chasing him’

DELTONA, Fla. – A Florida man was shot by a mother of three after deputies say he broke into her Deltona, Florida home early Tuesday morning, March 31 because he thought that dinosaurs were chasing him.

Officials with the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office said this happened at a home on the 2600 block of Libby Court.

According to deputies, Joseph Roberts, 32, tried to break into the home around 5:45 a.m. by shattering a front window.

“The woman inside, a 42-year-old mother with several teenagers in the house, called 911, saying, ‘I don’t want to shoot him, but I’m going to have to! Get out of my window! Get out of my window!’”

Sheriff Mike Chitwood said during a press conference that the mother gave White several verbal warnings to leave. When he didn’t, she opened fire.

When deputies arrived, the sheriff said they found Roberts in the house — and he had quite an interesting story.

“He told us that the dinosaurs were chasing him and he thought he got some bad weed,” said Chitwood.

It’s no fun when one’s intended victims fire back, Delta Whiskies and Whiskettes. Dinosaurs- that wasn’t bad weed, that was the brown acid.
Too arcane?*grin*

On their way home from late Mass no doubt…

Both the 29 and 21 year old had FOID (Firearm Owners ID) cards and concealed carry permits.

Without a FOID one cannot even purchase ammo. I found that out when, on leave, they wouldn’t even accept my military ID card to buy .22 rounds and .410 shells for my 1955-57 era Stevens Over and Under.

All the way from teh stoopid to bat crap crazy. Just another day at the office for the TAH FGS Copy Desk. Was it Puff the Magic Dragon that lived by the sea? Or was he puffing on some Magic Dragon?

And in retaliation “And stay away from the brown strychnine – it’s been cut with acid!” Even more obscure.

Sounds like Dinosaur-boi is one of the walking wounded in the War on Drugs.

Too bad the women didn’t deliver The Taxpayer Savings Shot.
I’d have chipped in to reimburse them for the cost of the ammunition. Maybe even sent them a round or two from my person stash.

Hey! Asshole! Hurts when people shoot back in self defense, don’t it?
Hopefully one round found the Vacuum Release Valve and let a little air into your cranium.

He may have been chased by dinosaurs, but it was momma bear who caught him. Maybe the idiot will learn a lesson and stay away from weed. Somehow I doubt he will.

GREAT find of a quote, especially in these times where it seems that regulations are slowing responses.

THANKS!
