A Florida woman was arrested Monday after she opened fire on her house guests, whom she believed had overstayed their welcome, deputies said.
Alana Savell, 32, was booked into a panhandle jail on a charge of aggravated battery with a firearm.
Savell told deputies that the woman and her friend had come over to hang out, began drinking and were “getting too loud.” Savell said she didn’t want them in her house anymore, so she started shooting at their feet.
That sounds sane and reasonable… says no one ever.
Investigators said Savell’s boyfriend told them he has instructed her that “once someone is told to leave their property three times, she is to go get the gun and shoot it at the ground. If that does not work, she is to shoot people in the leg.”
Oh, but it gets better. The idiotic boyfriend who gave her this patently illegal advice was the immediate recipient of karmic justice, as he managed to catch one of Savell’s bullets.
The woman was taken to a Panama City-area hospital to be treated for a gunshot wound.
Police said Savell’s boyfriend was also shot in the leg.
It’s fortunate that she didn’t shoot him in the buttocks, as the brain damage would have been fatal.
I shouldn’t have to say this, but I’m going to do so anyway: firearms are not toys. Firearms are not warnings, or alarms, or celebratory items. They are deadly force weapons, and are to be used responsibly, or not at all. If you cannot wrap your mind around the fact that it is patently illegal to point a gun at another human being just because you find them annoying, then you are too stupid to own a gun. Period.
Sarcasm? Moronic? How else do you get unwelcome guests to leave?
She joining you tomorrow?
Yes, she’s going on eight years in the CG. She won’t be joining us, but her brother is going out to Seattle (on his own dime!) to spend Christmas with her. We hope she will come back East for college if she decides not to sign up for another 4 years.
HA, the Seattle rain that I grew up in may make her come back East before you know it!
That’s funny!!!!
:-D
She went on vacation to San Jose recently, but said it was too rainy and she should have gone to San Diego. I think the rain will wear her down eventually and she’ll come back to the South.
I’m sure that most of us have had house guests that just needed killing.
LOL! I don't speak Dutch but I can understand some of it.
The quote is in Latin and a paraphrase of Cato the Elder's closing statement in all of his speeches in the Roman Senate, "Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam". (Furthermore, I consider that Carthage must be destroyed.)
I initially stuck in 0bama, then switched to HiLlARy. If anyone called the Secret Service on me they could hardly consider a comment in Latin to incite others to violence. I mean, how many people would even bother to look it up.
After the election I switched to our current biggest threat, Islam. I really don't care what they think.
"Ceterum censeo Islam esse delendam."

I don’t think you’re allowed to cut up food in the UK.
It’s Florida, so....
It’s like these people are stupid or on drugs or drunk or all of the above.
...
Forget it Jake. It’s Florida.
What does your daughter do in the CG? Seattle was always a tough billet to get. I am former “Puddle Pirate” myself.
Aw, c’mon, Bob Owens! Who here hasn’t shot their significant other in the leg while trying to rid themselves of annoying houseguests?
DANG!
I seem to recall certain times in the recent past where the Eastpointe side of 8 mile wasn’t measurably more peaceful than the Detroit side. In fact, i seem to remember a recent past where to get peaceful you had to go north of I696.
Just sayin’
