So, I guess this makes me the bad guy for firing a couple of rounds near the feet of the neighbor girl when she only gave me a half glass at her lemonade stand.

I paid the full quarter so I expect a full glass.

The local pizza place screwed up my stromboli order and I had to wait 15 minutes.

I caught up on some reading while there and didn’t think twice about it.

Yes, it does. You gave her a quarter and she gave you half... you cheapskate.

Your lucky she didn’t file assault charges on you.

You’d be paying at least $1000 to the bail company, $2500 or more to a lawyer, spending a night in jail, finding another neighborhood to live in temporarily because of the restraining order, and probably spending months doing community service and probation, assuming that was your first offense.

That could have been the most expensive half glass of lemonade ever!!!

Had a co-worker friend of mine who was born and raised in Nitro. She said it was a nice place back in the day.

Elmer Keith often wrote that you draw your gun only when ready to use it. That suggestion was especially for LEOs.

Of course when he wrote this LEOs weren’t generally executed by BLM Obama’s sons, just for fun.

Hey!

I’m the victim here!

I paid for a full glass of lemonade!

That little criminal tried to cheat me out of half a glass of lemonade!

She’s lucky I didn’t wing her!

Wife and i drove through Nitro at dusk a few years ago.
Narrow valley filled with chemical plants spewing fire ash and smoke.
Earily lit sky with fires burning off God knows what.
I’d bet the cancer rate for all in Nitro blows away the national average.
