Not an earth shattering news story, but I figured somebody else out there needed this visual tonight.

Beats the heck out of, "Hey you kids! Get off my lawn!!!"

[Star Traveler]

Give a stupid man a gun and he’ll make stupid decisions about shooting someone...

They ought to train people about the *reasons* why one might shoot someone... LOL...

[divine_moment_of_facts]

The return of the “Wild West”.

[Soothesayer]

“described only as a man wearing dark clothing”

Goths with guns...

[FreeAtlanta]

Short fuse, must have been a liberal in need of some gun control.

Lesson: Sometimes it doesn’t pay to have bad manners.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Attaboy.

[Jeff Gordon]

If you choose not to offer help and sympathy to someone who stumbles that is your choice. If you choose to laugh at them bear in mind that they might make it your last laugh.

[umgud]

As wrong as this is, I’ll bet they quit laughing pretty quick.

[DieHard the Hunter]

(chuckle!)

Somehow you Yanks need to arrive at a reasonable balance: how to make sure those folk who are smart enough to carry guns can always do so without government interference, balanced against keeping guns out of the hands of knuckleheads and crims.

This story tells me you ain’t got that balance quite right yet. But it was Hell Funny all the same!

“described only as a man wearing dark clothing”

Goths with guns...

Zorro.

[divine_moment_of_facts]

Hehe.

[mamelukesabre]

Don’t be a fool.

This is the price we pay for legal guns. It’s damn well worth it.

[doc1019]

Evanston where?

...how to make sure those folk who are smart enough to carry guns can always do so without government interference...

Hey, we're all smart enough to carry guns. Some of us just aren't smart enough to stay off the ice though.

[Secret Agent Man]

I hope they both lock up this idiot and sue the pants off him. Clear example of someone who should not have a firearm. What a non-reason to fire a gun at someone. If he doesn’t have enough common sense or self control, he should not be able to have one. This is one case where taking guns away from him is right. He’s shown he cannot use them responsibly, and has no judgment when it is right to use them.

[Hugin]

To paraphrase Lincoln, you can stop some of the idiots all of the time, you may even stop all of the idiots some of the time, but you can’t stop all of the idiots all of the time.

Chalk it up to the price of freedom.

[jws3sticks]

Chuck Norris can do no wrong. The laughers were wrong.. End of story.

[Gordon Greene]

“Evanston where?”

The link goes to the area the story is from. Sorry, I didn’t research it a bit closer.

I really hate cold weather.

I can understand his common sense freezing over.
