>Instead, she advanced on my grandson and shot him in cold >blood. She's just a bitch. Sorry."
You raised that sorry piece of sh*t and someone needs to beat the crap out you for not doing a better job on your family, you twisted old man.
Sorry, but that just floors me that he is making HIS GRANDSON OUT TO BE THE VICTIM HERE!!!!
When a person has beaten you half to death and is still in the immediate vicinity, they are still a threat. I don't think there is a jury in America that would convict this woman.
Nope the woman explained why she shot the man...she was trained to protect the money...and that's exactly what she did ...ie HER TRAINING KICKED IN
Frank Rasmussen is a communist.
"A trained security guard, when she was attacked she didn't have time to use her gun to defend herself."
So much to say about one sentence.
First, a lot of "trained" security guards don't know beans about when and how to use force or to prevent/deter attacks. Their "training" is often 8 hours on the range and another couple days in the classroom. But the suggestion has been subtly made: If a trained security guard can be surprised, what hope is there for the rest of us gun owners?
Second, maybe she "didn't have time to use her gun to defend herself." Often you don't. Sometimes you do. More important is to be aware of potential opportunities for an attack, and to mentally prepare. Guess her "training" didn't cover that.
Finally, if the attacker decided not to leave after all, but instead went to get a bat, crowbar or something else to continue the beating, or went to his car to get his own gun and finish her off, having the gun that she was unable to use before would certainly be desirable now.
Course, that's just my unenlightened, gun-owning opinion.
Too bad the robber didn't have a chance to suffer more ...
She knew this how? This guy just beat the hell out of her, is it beyond reason to think he was grabbing a another weapon in his car as she lay in the street fighting for life?
Good point.
His grandson beats the woman near death with brass knuckles, and he's angry at her for shooting him? Is this entire family made up entirely of lowlife scum?
How was she to know that he wasn't finished with her? Was he going to run her over with the car? Was he going to cover his tracks by killing her?
She did the right thing - regardless of what the logic-impaired lefties in the newspaper and, apparently, the police department have to say.
Damn good shooting too, based on the extent of her injuries. She may have saved someone from the same fate at the hands of this dirtbag.
Horsepuckey. He was an armed robber who got what he deserved. And a slimeball little p***k like pinhead grampa.
It should not be overlooked that this vile bag of filth is retired policeman.
When the laws are designed to protect violent criminals from the people they are robbing, then you know your country has been taken over by enemies of the people. Even cops are on the side of the crooks.
ho, T.
how goes the writing?
The first part is the hardest by far. I'm just remembering this from my EFAD experience. Each new character introduction into the weave of the story is as hard as starting the book itself. Once I'm a quarter of the way through, it'll speed up tremendously. Thanks for asking!
my bugbear is naming the characters.
I just cannot seem to do it.
I wish you speedy progress and excellent product.
I will now let you go back into deep-lurk mode :)
Naming characters is my favorite part! It's a perfect opportunity to use onomatapoeia to use the look and sound of a name to reinforce a character. Bob Bullard: Thug. Wally Malvone: sneaky evil bastard. Ranya Bardiwell: mysterious beauty of Lebanese ancestry. And so on.
I have notebooks where I collect ideas, plot lines, characters, settings etc. Names which catch my eye go into a special list. Also, I recommend getting a serious "baby naming book" which includes the derivations of the names. There are so many "first names" which are incredibly obscure and interesting, that they also work perfectly as last names. Stuff like "Hildegaard." Being in alphabetical order, you can spread out your character names so that there is less confusion.
(it gets worse when you are dealing with non-human sentients)

Your grandson is... WAS... an evil, hateful, worthless waste of flesh and the world is a better place now that he is no longer breathing.
Oh... sorry.
Can you believe the stucazz on this guy?
