The police were able to shut down the hostilities at the gnome hurtling stage. Thank goodness it didn’t escalate to pink flamingo launching!

Never get into a gun fight with garden gnomes. Can’t blame the gnomes...getting hurled and all.

Well, at least I can’t be accused of being a furry.

Gnome hurling anything like dwarf tossing? Is that legal?

It’s like candle pin bowling is to regular bowling.

And at least 2 gnomes.

Police: Garden gnomes hurled, gunfire exchanged [...]I want to know why the gnomes hurled... Had they eaten something that didn't agree with them?

Sounds like parents & their kids at a Little League game.
Obviously the hooligans don't believe in diversity, seeing as how they only threw garden gnome, and no pink flamingos.

#11. Re your question is “Gnome hurling anything like dwarf tossing? Is that legal”?
Only in GNome, Alaska.
To: Hieronymus
What percentage of the population is gnome?
No one was gnome when this happened.
One gnome was shot in the throat. Another was hit by a fire extinguisher.
The final score a the Mattoon Gnomefest was:
Gnomes - 18, Humans - 2

There’s a picture there...but I haven’t figured out if it’s one of the perps or one of the gnomes.

"Not Florida?"
Pink flamingos are the garden weapon of choice in Florida.

We need to ban gnome-atic guns.
