I'd rather be a live felon than a dead one. Just sayin' though I suppose the right thing to do is petition to have your civil rights restored. Though they might kill you while you're waiting for a response.
I wonder if he belongs to a rival gang? Maybe the Bulldogs and the Pugs.
He should have said that the rifle belonged to his wife.
California is so progressive that it won’t give convicted felons the right to own a gun, but wants to give them the right to vote.
Go figure!
On second thought, it’s California. Nothing makes any rational sense out there.
Get off my lawn!!!
Was it a Garand?
Surprised they did not refer to the gangbangers as “honor students at Fresno State” (they were Bulldogs)
Sounds like a business dispute to me...
Ex-cons who want to go straight are big believers in the importance of guns. They also know that prison is for the living, which beats the heck out of the alternative.
It will be interesting to see what the backstory is here, if it is ever published.
That is what we are dealing with, folks. The fact that someone of the educated class, in this case a journalist, would believe it strange that a homeowner would confront three trespassers in order to determine whether they were up to no good.
The journalist would no doubt argue a homeowner in such case should hide in shelter until the police arrived, if they did. There is a vulgar phrase for such an argument..
Does this gang spell its name in lower case? Or do the members even know what that means. Or does the reporter know what that means?
