No mention of possible gunplay as the scuffle didn’t happen during target practice.

Otherwise, it would have been a case of gnome on the range.

Better to be hit by one than...

Sybil: "Basil! Where are you going!?"
Basil: "To see Mr. O'Reilly, dear. I'm going to insert a large garden gnome into him."

False advertising! False advertising!

The guy's Tshirt is absolutely clean and spotless white. His jeans are pristine. And his boots are clean.

The chick's makeup is perfect. So is her hair. And she doesn't have a single tattoo or piercing.

They may play them on TV, but you could search every trailer park in Paulding county and not find anybody who looks like either of those two.

The victim was shown a photo of a suspect, but he said “I don’t gnome at all.”

LOL. Sounds like one of my family reunions.

Did you ever see the post I made (long ago, and it was true) about the guy here who caught his wife with another man and stole her false teeth? He wouldn’t give them back.

Problem is, the woman was only about 22 years old. Talk about the ultimate revenge!!!!!

My garden gnomes, and have have about 12 of them, would never behave like that.

How badly was the gnome injured?

Was use of the gnome as a weapon inspired by hate?

Is The National Association for Nondiscrimination Against Elves, Gnomes, and Little Ugly People [NANAEGULP] looking into why no hate crimes charges were filed?

This brings to mind a song from 5 years ago.

DFU SONG: Home on the Range (Drones nail terrorists) 11-9-02
DFU SONG PARODIES | 11-2002 | Lyrics, Doug from Upland

MIDI - HOME ON THE RANGE

Oh, give me a drone so where terrorists roam
I can blow the hell out of their car
Like video games…we’ll engulf them in flames
They’ll be frightened wherever they are

Drones, drones move down range
The coordinates I’m gonna change
They won’t even hear…as the bomb’s coming near
Then we’ll all do high fives at the bar

Some think it is mean…we fly over unseen
And we send them a little surprise
It drops from the sky…all their plans go awry
And they won’t make it to the bazaar

Drones, drones move down range
The coordinates I’m gonna change
They won’t even hear…as the bomb’s coming near
Then we’ll all do high fives at the bar

Maybe on TV we are going to see
An exciting reality show
A name we might try…”Stupid Drivers Who Die”
In their autos they don’t get too far

Drones, drones move down range
The coordinates I’m gonna change
They won’t even hear…as the bomb’s coming near
Then we’ll all do high fives at the bar

They won’t even hear…as the bomb’s coming near
Then we’ll all do high fives at the bar

What is his gnome de plume?

My guess: Gnome Chomsky. A typical garden variety type trouble maker.

Shudder....gives me a flashback to last hour’s TV news where Hillary was strutting her cottage cheese thighs to some adoring Iowa crowd.
