It’s the little stories, the overlooked minor social interactions, that make gun-gorged America what it is; and ol’ UD definitely sees it as part of her blog-mandate to share some of these with you. Otherwise you’re unlikely to grasp what it actually means to live in a country with five hundred million guns. You’re unlikely to get a feel for the homeland’s daily communal reality. You’re likely to content yourself with being spooked by mass shootings; but there’s so much more to The American Story.
Tiffs over parking spots, for instance, can end in gunplay now.
Perry [Georgia] police say Anna McPherson confronted VanWormer [the article only gives her last name] over a parking spot and pulled a gun during the dispute, aiming it at both the mother and child.
McPherson banged on VanWormer’s window with the firearm and continued the threat… . [At one point, she] looked at VanWormer’s son and said, “You’re about to be motherless.”
‘Course she was bonded out asap without anyone notifying VanWormer, who gets to continue panicking about this fucker hunting her down. And yes the POS faces some charges, but Georgia’s judges love guns FAR too much to put away a nice lady with a Glock.
