Dem Senate candidate shoots reporter at campaign event.
Kunce or Dunce?
Perhaps it’s a misleading photo, but they look way too close to the metal for an AR platfrom firing a round with muzzle velocity exceeding 3000 fps.
Here, Mike. Enjoy.
Some of us are going to require an explanation…
A dumbass gangster introduced himself by messing with John Wick’s Mustang, which kicked off events leading to John Wick killing everyone.
Ah, Mustang, Camaro, Mike – and I never watched the movie…
Thanks!
Thanks Steve, just now seeing this. Spent the last cpl days recovering from being mauled by a young buck deer out in my backyard Monday afternoon. Once he’d knocked me over backward out of my wheelchair, that was it, I was helpless. Thank God the woman over the bank behind my backyard heard me yelling and screaming and came down to get the crazy critter off me, my corpse would probably still be laying out in the yard if she hadn’t.
Damn. I just may have to take up deer hunting again 🙂
Public service minded that I am.
Glad you are OK. I’m wondering if the sight of you and your chair made that buck think you were competing for the female deer…
Nah, nothing whatever sexual about it, or it didn’t seem that way. A stupid yay-hoo down the street took him in and made a pet of him, problem being that the deer gets loose now and then and goes wandering through the neighborhood getting in people’s gardens and such-like. He’s completely comfortable around humans, and was just looking for some friendly affection and maybe dinner. At one point, after he’d been prodding and nudging me around the yard for a while with his antlers and I was kicking him, punching him, and yelling at him trying to frighten him away, I stopped and just rubbed his head and patted his back for a second or two. He stopped and stood there, happy as some clams; clearly, that was all he’d wanted. But in the meantime, I’m still on my back unable to get up, and entirely helpless. It totally sucked.
Ah, a pet deer. Probably the worse kind. Damn deer hooves can be real dangerous. Better start carrying out in your yard.
Oh believe me, I have. I’d hate to have to shoot the poor critter, it isn’t his fault, really. But I sure ain’t above firing a round or two into that bank I mentioned to scare his ass off!
“I’d hate to have to shoot the poor critter…”
Just make sure your butcher is on standby 🙂
That’s gotta be one of the worst ways to die, being molested by a buck in heat.
But the lesson is clear: You need to ditch the wheelchair and use a peg leg and a cane … with a boomstick concealed in the cane.
