Yep. All positive uses of guns by citizens are lies because we know that the police will always be there when you need them.
to see what happened after the fact, and take pictures.
Global warming > Altoona > Naked hostage taker > ‘nuff said.
Don’t forget that the cops draw neat chalk outlines.
Hope she makes a full recovery..
As for him.. Synthetic drugs? Spika frakka wacka??
Good luck, Judge.
They have that fancy yellow crime scene tape, too, which is awesome.
He won’t spend that much time in jail - just enough to sit and stew and think about what he’ll do to her the next time he gets a hold of her - and he will...
She’ll live in fear - and real danger - for many years. Time for her to get a weapon, gets lots of range time - and take some comprehensive self-defense classes. There’s only one way to be safe...he no longer sucks oxygen.
Too bad he waited for the guy to let her go.
“I told him to let her go. He finally did.”
Should have been a “BANG” between those two sentences.
And the citizen managed to get him stopped w/o taring/beating/stomping/shooting him - no wonder they hate armed citizens....
