“Why’d you shoot him 44 times?”

“Ran out of ammo.”

A while back here in FL, a thug got a well-deserved dirtnap by brutally murdering a Polk County deputy, killed his dog and wounded another deputy.

An excerpt from a story about his end of life:

---

After a massive manhunt for the fugitive through the night, a SWAT team surrounded Freeland in a thickly wooded area hiding under a fallen tree. When he failed to show the officers both hands and they spotted a handgun in one of his hands, they opened fire. Freeland’s autopsy showed that he was shot 68 times. An investigation of the scene revealed that police fired 110 rounds.

“That’s all the bullets we had, or we would have shot him more,” Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd told reporters.

I always get a kick out of reading that last line. :)

“Why’d you shoot him 44 times?”

“Ran out of ammo.”

A lot of years ago a friend was involved in a bar fight, I saw the whole thing and my friend started it. I went to his trial, the fix was in, a plea deal where he would get probation and a fine.

The judge asked him, "Mr. Redfield, I can understand why you might have hit the man once in anger but why did you hit him again"? My friends answer - "He was still twitching your honor".

That smart ass answer cost him two weeks in the county jail.
