If he’s been shot in the @$$, he could apply for a John F. Kerry Purple Heart.

Rock salt out of shot gun shells burn better.
Well, I am making an assumption having not been shot with Rice Crispies before
= = = = = = = = = = =

When I was in HS there were a couple of orchards near the house.
The one has some fine looking apples, one had mediocre apples and the third stayed pretty well plucked...

Do I have to tell you who preferred the rock salt method of guarding ones property...

Back in mid 50s and I don’t recall ANYONE getting arrested for putting some rock salt in some young asses...

Once was a lesson well learned....

You obviously don't take cocoa puffs as seriously as some people do.

Loading a “flair” with Rice Krispies and shooting it...in San Francisco.

Sounds fabulous.

They should have used rainbow colored Fruity Pebbles though

Oops, I should have thought about my micro-agression before I hit “post”.

And then there was this IRA gunman who loaded shotgun shells with dried chickpeas - yep, he was called “Chickpea”

I would say that’s what they load shells in in SF, but we know they’re all afraid of guns and would go hide just the mention of the word ‘guns’

For a moment I thought this was going to be about Jean Francois Kerry looking for his fourth Purple Heart.

The weapon turned out to be a flare gun. Police said they were told the assailant was Timothy Glass Jr., 29, of Eureka, and that he had fled the scene on a bicycle.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it wasn't a professional hit.

Somehow I knew that post option would be gone by the
time I got to it. That being the case I will have to
share my own Humboldt County (north of Eureka) tale.
A former co-worker who attended Humboldt State University
is a retired school psychologist and a card carrying
Conservative if that can be believed. He and his wife
host an annual emergency salmon fishing trip for several
of us group home workers in July. We all stay at a home
the wife inherited in McKinleyville. The party boat
Captain sets out crab pots and we all get plenty of
dungeonous crabs. We cook and clean the crabs in the host’s
backyard and that draws plenty of flies. Last year I
mail ordered one of those plastic bug a-salt guns. Pour
salt in the top container, cock it and fire away.
We had a ball drinking beer, cleaning crabs, and murdering
the flies. And, yes it is still legal in California!

The Rice Krispies are a bee load used for taking out wasps, bees and hornets usually with pistols. Grits works well and generally will not take the paint off your siding.

Course the area you live in has to to be gunfire friendly. It is a lot of fun. When I lived on a ranch I used to take out red hornets with a bb gun but sadly, my move to a subdivision has ruled that out.

I once caught some rock salt while ‘borrowing’ a watermelon when I was 10 or 11.

My first gun, a Daisy, looked like this one: Image and video hosting by TinyPic It's out in the storage barn now. Very accurate. Odd you mention that--I shot a hornet out of a tree with it too. My father and another officer took turns shooting the coals off cigarettes at about 20+ feet. I would bust empty beer bottles with it in the parking lot of a tavern.

A good attorney will milk this case for all its worth.
