Unreal!

When owning a bow and arrow are a crime, only the criminals will have bows and arrows.....

[Red Badger]

Did he ask where the mail car and safe were?.............

[lilylangtree]

This here fellar role played too much in his life.

"Juventino Vallejo-Camerena"

I'll bet he's 3rd-generation Irish.

[A CA Guy]

I read this here at FR somewhere last night, so you are posting a repeat.

Got shot in the arms and wrist if this was the same story, but he wasn't killed.

[Brad’s Gramma]

I'll bet he's 3rd-generation Irish.

But of course! And the poor thing was ONLY trying to get back home!!

[konaice]

Stuck on Stupid...

[Black Tooth]

Unreal!

Bet that's what he said after being shot twice. But in Spanish.

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

Never bring a bow and arrow to a gun fight.

I did a search....honest!

"A man armed with a bow and arrow who commandeered a Union Pacific freight train stopped in Montclair on Sunday night was shot and wounded by police, authorities said."

Don't bring a knife to a gunfight.

The guys sounds like a Darwin candidate who got lucky and was only wounded.

No mention by the idiot MSM whether he is an illegal alien.

You get one guess!

I don't know why people complain that a thread is a repeat because the search engine here on FR is quite lame.

[South40]

It's Bush's fault.

[CAluvdubya]

Gotta admit that California keeps everybody else entertained. I am picturing a guy holding up a train with arrows that have suction cups on the end of them. LOL!

I must add, most of the time, I would miss some good stories if it weren't for the occasional repost.

Indeed it is.

I copied and pasted the title into the search on titles. I get both articles listed 1st and 2nd. What is difficult about that? What does make it difficult is people making up their own titles. At least it is from two different news sources.

"How many times does somebody come and take over a train with a bow and arrow?"

Anyone that crazy would probably shoot the arrow, too.

Of course, since this is CA, he'll probably be sent to counseling, and will be on the street by the end of the week.
