Pauly Walnuts was returning a suit and some punk challenged him.
Truth... thank you.
These wackos know where to go to encounter the least resistance.
When seconds count, the cops are an hour away...
Paramus is in Bergen County which is one of the wealthiest counties in the country. Besides Nordstrom, one of the anchor stores is Neiman-Marcus and there are other high end retail stores in the mall.
Not to cheer random nutjob shooters, but I wouldn’t at all mind the higher-ends of society getting their trees shaken good and hard. It’s always a good thing for the wealthy to be reminded from time to time that for all their money and trendy trappings, they are as equally vulnerable as us. Their froo-froo fashion shops with ‘no guns allowed’ are a target range to anyone with hostile intent.
“Stay tuned for more staged shootings EVERY DAY this week.
I assume well see them.
I assume the shooters will be carrying Rush Limbaughs new book.”
That is funny. Reminds me of an old episode of “Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman” The local cops were trying to pin a murder they’d committed on the town’s only black guy. They left a bottle of Geri Curl and a Marvin Gaye album at the murder scene. :)
