“Deputies tried tracking down the second person, but so far have been unable to find him, authorities said.”

I’d look for someone with brown stains on his pants.

Folks here have been adding the keyword, “armedcitizen,” to these threads. Makes looking them up easier.

Looks like they are making the headline intentionally vague to make it appear it may have been a bystander that was hit. Suspect dead would have been more clear.

Looks like they are making the headline intentionally vague...

Right. Being hit a couple of times with a baseball bat does it for me.

I didn’t know there were any drive-in theaters left.

Not too far from where we once lived. The woods out there are full of very well armedcitizens. They had better stay that way.

[leaning conservative]

Awesome! What is up with all these masked intruders? Really terrifying.

Actually, I agree with the poster that the headline implied a bystander or other innocent. Perhaps you need some tinfoil glasses.

LOL! You dont even understand tinfoil!

“These two ladies were pretty alert and sharp, it seems, and took care of business,” Gonzalez said.”

And there is the difference between Texas, and a few other states, and the blue states.

As a Texas State Trooper once told me, “around here there are two reasons to stop shooting. First is if you run out of ammo which should never happen. Second is when the body stops twitching.”

Pretty rare these days. I knew of one in Newport News, Va, , I looked it up, it closed in 1985. Back home we had Hilltop and the Rancho. The Hilltop location had a flea market on Saturdays. There was a section of fence pulled away, covered by some eucalyptus trees that provided “free” entry.

Around 1952 or so, my Brothers and I would climb in the back of the Isle of View in Panama City, FL. We would turn the nearest speaker on high.

The only real problem was ants. I don’t think the owner really cared. We certainly were not going to drive in and pay.
