Looks like we're going to have a rash of copycat shootings or attempts at such.

Why would they shoot him in Grant’s pants?

I think that should be standard cop response, blow their balls off. Black crimes would plummet.

Are you trying to lighten the mood with inappropriate humor? ;-)

At first glance, I read “in grass pants.”

Did they use an AR15 style weapon to shoot him in the pass or just an old fashion Glock? Is this a suicide by cop shoot or just an old fashion lunatic trying to get on tv?

You’re right, Grant should have been shot between his besotted eyes. :)

I read it as "authorities shoot man in grass pants"

Either way, his ass is grass.

The OP is more than a bit short on detail.

I did too.

It looks like they didn't do him much good.

Maybe they are only legal in Hawaii.

Grants Pass is one of the ten worse small towns in the U.S.

Right. I don’t care if they shot him in the department’s water fountain. It’s gonna leave a mark. Note to self “No Grass Pants in Grants Pass”.

I don’t know if “they” still do it, but back in the 70s it was common for someone to remove the “P” from the highway signs signifying GRANTS PASS.
