Reporter to cop: Why did you shoot him 6 times?

Cop: I was out of bullets.

Gang members? And now this guy’s name is being publicized?

[Hodar]

Well, thanks to some crackerjack reporting by a intellectually challenged reporter, the gang members of the victim and the perps now know who they need to track down and kill.

I’m sure the family of Harry James McCullough will be thrilled to know how easily it is to track their son down, especially with a press that is eager to single out a Hero for the gangs to kill.

Good defense job, but I would have fought tooth and nail to keep my name out of the papers after that. You never know if the little punks have punk friends.

Yeah he can defend himself, but not having your name out there is a defense all it's own. "Anonymous bystander" is how I'd like to be referred to in the de-brief.

“”””Kleine said a bullet from the pistol was found inside the barrel of the shotgun, indicating that Thomas was aiming his gun at McCullough.””””

Mythbusters needs to do their thing to recreate it.

No gun charge in shooting

[throwback]

Funny thing was the perp’s gun wasn't loaded. Somebody actually wrote the local paper complaining the shooting was not justified because the shotgun wasn't loaded. Sorry, but he didn't tell anybody?

Several things are not in this article. His gun was confiscated by the police on the spot. He was unarmed with possible gang members who now know who he is and where he lives. Some gunowners held a collection and gave him enough to buy a new gun. When he tried to register it, he was refused (which means he cannot pick up the new gun). The reason given was he was ticketed for a misdemeanor (carrying concealed without a permit). Omaha has had handgun registration since the 1880’s, BTW. He is working little over minimum wage jobs and probably does not have another.

All the usual suspects (gun grabbing politicians, newspaper columnists, and idiots posting on local websites) are condemning him. They say; “If this happened, or that happened, or something else happened instead of what actually happened, it would have been far worse.” One idiot accused him of shooting an unarmed man (which nobody knew at the time) in the back (which the tapes show happened when he spun around after getting hit 3 times). Another idiot said that the perp did not have to be pointing the gun at him. He could have “curved” the bullet into the barrel!!!

The State Patrol has also said that he will never be allowed to have a concealed carry permit in the future because he has a misdemeanor ticket for carrying concealed without a permit. Keep all this in mind when someone says the Police are your friend. They are not.

McCullough pulled out a pistol and shot Thomas four times.

That'll get the job done.

Thank you, Harry James McCullough, Sir...
