‘James Williams [was] wearing a handgun in a chest holster, as well as a bandoleer with additional ammo and a body camera…. [Police also found on the man] two revolvers and bandoleers of ammo. [On a nearby tractor,] police found another revolver, an AR-15, several knives and a bayonet.’
And what better possession for an Alzheimer’s sufferer than a pistol with which he can threaten his neighbor?
The good reverend pulled a firearm on someone at a polling place in Green Pond S.C. Maybe he used this.
Assault with body fluids-sliming. A new one on me.
Our gunniest, suicidiest states are Wyoming, Montana, Alaska – all of them packed with far-flung macho men who drink divorce and depress til they can’t take it no more; and when a big ol’ gun gapes inches away from them hell why not.
Shasta, CA and its region have double the suicide rate of the rest of that state, and it’s the same old thing – mucho machos, and drink/divorce/depression with a side of Sig Sauer. Not much to be done, cuz they won’t let you take their guns away, and they certainly won’t talk to a psychiatrist.
An obscure little article describes daily life in Sang Rouge Louisiana, where gun battles between speeding cars make driving hazardous.
The fate of the festival in the land of four hundred and fifty million guns.
Many are the reasons Americans need firearms.
Here’s what that failure looks like on the street.
Lynne Cooke-Case allegedly threatened [her neighbors with a firearm,] saying she would “put (the gun) in the mouth of anyone who got in [her] way.”… Cooke-Case’s dogs [then] killed a neighbor’s chicken and she [started] firing a gun from the road while threatening people… Cooke-Case fired about 20 rounds into the air. According to court documents, Cooke-Case also claimed there were bombs inside her home, and troopers reported a strong odor of gunpowder inside.
Insane people have no trouble getting guns in NH; and here is an example of how they use them.
La Kid was with friends in Adams Morgan. Not for the first time, I texted her with instructions about what streets to avoid in order not to get shot.
… Saturday nights will be SOOOO much less exciting.
They also had a psychotic Nazi teenage son at home who went on to commit a mass shooting.
Vazquez “would not allow officers to confirm if firearms were stored properly.” If they were stored properly, Little Hitler would have trouble getting at them.
After the shooting, the police searched three homes connected with the teenagers and confiscated more than 30 guns from one of them.
In an obscene effort to avoid indictment, the Vazquez parents have released a weepy public statement. It’s incredibly important for the legal system to go after Nazi-enablers.
Florida’s AG disagrees, and he promises a legal attack on a local development that would simply like people not to carry during big public events. Big public events bring out psychotic gunnies, and the people of Beaches Town Center don’t want to be blown away. But Florida will force them to expose themselves to armed fuckheads.
Teenager with an arsenal kills people — and shares his reasons.
