NO BALLS: Gunman Shoved Gun in Waistband, Shot Himself in Testicles
Clash Daily ^ | 2/3/14

Posted on 02/04/2014 6:45:58 AM PST by Impala64ssa

A man police said is responsible for a shooting in a downtown parking lot ran from the scene, but shot himself in the testicles as he shoved the gun into his waistband Tuesday night.

Joseph Johnson, 40, has been released from the hospital and booked into the Multnomah County Jail on charges of first-degree robbery, second-degree assault and felon in possession of a firearm.

Robbery detectives said Johnson and the victim, 32-year-old Jordan Merrell, knew each other well and lived in the same apartment building near Southwest 10th Avenue and Columbia Street.

Johnson apparently confronted Merrell in the parking lot behind the building, demanded he hand over his property and then shot Merrell in the leg, police said.

If only Stanley Ann Dunham's baby daddy shot himself in his package about 52 years ago...

First rule of thug gun carry - don’t use a holster.

Did Obamacare pay for this birth control? If not, why not?

I guess the de-cocking lever also describes what will happen if you DON’T use it.

He shot the other guy while robbing him. What do you have to do to get first-degree assault?

“Joseph Josephine Johnson, 40, has been released from the hospital and booked into the Multnomah County Jail...”

On the bright side, serving time at the Women’s Detention Center is piece of cake compared to the Men’s.

BTW, I think “Josephine” will have to change her last name as well. Josephine Johnsonless?
