He was on the hunt for pesky birds in the rafters. One landed on the floor. The plant manager allegedly got down, lay low, fired bird shot from a rifle but missed the bird. However, according to a River Falls police report and a criminal complaint, an employee was hit in the back of the head.

A felony charge for injury by negligent handling of a dangerous weapon was filed against the 29-year-old plant manager of Best Maid Cookie in the River Falls industrial park.

Pointless over about 5 feet or so. The rifling spins the birdshot, and you get a pattern that looks like a donut. What you aim at, unless it’s very close, is pretty safe.

“Moron” and “jackass(Democrat)” is more my inclination.

Perhaps the solution would be to leave a very, very hungry cat in the plant over night.

Hey, this is no big deal.

I heard he used to hunt with Cheney, too.

Sorry, but I could not resist...

I bought a box to try next time we get a rattlesnake visitor....curious if it’ll have enough oomph.

I believe you. Even a BB gun at close range stings really bad.

My post was based on the ASSUMPTION that the headshot guy was hit by a ricochet, since the article reported he removed a small piece of lead from his head.

Hurts worse to bang your head on a piece of factory ironwork or the edge of a packaging machine.

I STILL think this is about money, or a grudge and money.

You’d have to pay me my current annual salary DAILY to work for that POS, and I doubt I’d put up with his BS until coffee.
