On phone , html is not so good
Sounds like suicide by cop.
Fashion crime?
if you’ve ever been shot in your grants pass you know how that hurts!
Crickey, i did the same thing. I’ll have to save this one. Lol...
Excuse me, but what basis do you have gor making that statement?
And, if it didn't pass before, that should make it work.
Same thing, Grass Pants. Must be a dyslexia thing.
I’ve taken A&p. Have no clue what part of the body is named Grants pass
Got shot in the grants pass? That’s gotta be painful.
Hope the shot missed the bone. Testicles will probably surivive, it’s why God gave you two of them.
Dyslexia is all part of doGs plan.
No it’s not.
I live in Grants Pass and it’s still a nice town.
True, it’s changed over the last 35 years but there’s good people, good churches, lots of CCW carriers and a few open-carry advocates.
It’s got a beautiful river that runs through the heart if the city and great mountain biking, camping and hiking is a short distance away.
It’s a great place to live!
“An altercation occurred after Jones’s 10:20 a.m. arrival, and Jones was shot after trying to take a trooper’s gun, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported .”
“A witness told the Daily Courier, a Grants Pass newspaper, that the person who was shot had a gun. The unidentified witness said she was in a church complex adjacent to the state police station when she saw a man walk into the station and then heard four gunshots.”
So did he have a gun or not?
If he did why try to grab another from an officer?
If he did not have a gun, did he successfully get the one he was try to grab from the officer?
Lastly, if he did not have a gun, and failed at his attempt to grab an officers gun, why the need to shoot?
Reporting now days is so horrible. Its like the entire media complex is ran by 4 year olds.
Good. That's how I remember it.
I read they shot him in Grass Pants. A tad different.
Problem I have with Oregon, Washington, and California is the cities wag the dog. Rural people get hurt because they haven’t a say. Then more idiots are moving in. Sad really sad. We’re fighting it in Idaho, but I don’t know how we will stop it with out problems.
Grants Pass is one of the ten worse small towns in the U.S.
Why so?
Indeed. It’s home to an American conservative radio host (by way of Britain and South Africa).
Whose name escapes me at the moment.
