You stole that last line from my favorite cartoon character. Foghorn..
I was too busy chasing down my favorite line involving shooting of bad guys.

Freeland remained under the oak tree overnight, where a 10-member SWAT team found him the next morning. When they saw Freeland raise his right hand clutching a gun (one they would later learn belonged to the dead deputy), nine of the ten officers fired, hitting him with 68 of 110 shots. Freeland was dead at the scene.

Afterwards, when called upon by the media to make a statement about the manhunt and its outcome, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd explained: “You have to understand, he had already shot and killed a deputy, he had already shot and killed a K-9, and he shot and injured another deputy. Quite frankly, we weren’t taking any chances.” Sheriff Judd was variously reported as adding, “That’s all the bullets we had or we would have shot him more” and “I suspect the only reason 110 rounds was all that was fired was that’s all the ammunition they had.”

Our Sheriffs here in Florida have a way with words!

I remember that case for sure. Not only because of the great line.

I was stuck in traffic on I-4 that day for 4 hours while they hunted for him. Traveling Orlando to Tampa. Bad timing.
