Good guns make good neighbors

If we only had more people like this dumbass, we'd have less people like this dumbass.

TFA: Meanwhile her neighbor, 54-year-old Stanley Livingston, heard the commotion next door, grabbed his shotgun and ran over to help.

Way to go, Chip!

Pointing a BB gun at someone carrying a shotgun...How does someone survive for 40 years being that stupid?

"We're a gun toting state. We have a lot of John Wayne in our blood. We're gonna shoot first and ask questions later."

Suddenly Bush's foreign policy is beginning to make sense.

/Got nothin'

Article good, me like read story.

nirwana: Article good, me like read story.

Winner!

Well, one less dirtbag AND think of all the money saved by not having to deal with them anymore.

Alternate Reality: Suddenly Bush's foreign policy is beginning to make sense.

Bush is a Yankee transplant.

Liberal welfare.

Speedofdarkness

Glad to see I wasn't alone with that thought

I don't like when people get killed, but the neighbor didn't exactly have a lot of choice. And as mr_a asked, how does one survive for so long when you point BB guns at people armed with shotguns?

NYZooMan: mr_a: Pointing a BB gun at someone carrying a shotgun...How does someone survive for 40 years being that stupid?

goddamned liberal people's republic of texas.

buncha tree huggin commie wierdos.

we need a real president...like herbert hoover.

Every day there is a new reason I'm glad to be living in Texas.

"Fort Worth defense attorney Trey Loftin told CBS 11 News, "We're a gun toting state. We have a lot of John Wayne in our blood. We're gonna shoot first and ask questions later." Loftin says Livingston will most likely not be charged."

so wait...there is no remorse at all?

why would anyone be so proud to live in a "gun toting state"?

baka-san: Good guns make good neighbors

unless they're owned by the type a folks that fire em in the backyard.

seminole87: beating her up merited a violent death.

2/10

Do you think the guy with the shotgun was close enough that when he shot the burgler, it left a nice hole in the middle of the guy, kinda like a doughnut? Because that would be ironic, right?

i'm going to call that he never pointed the bb gun at the killer.

/not that it really matters
//one less shiathead around
///dead = can't defend

because the bar is so low, you dont even have to raise your foot to step over it.

This story oozes with poetic justice. And the characters seem as if they just stepped out of a Cohen Brothers movie. It's just that the whole victim-criminal-hero-redneck irony makes me laugh, sadly.

How did David Morse fall so low as to be robbing donut shops with bb guns at that age?

I thought the same thing as speedofdarkness.
It is a mystery how this asshat made it to 45

Why would there be any remorse? A career criminal died during the commission of a crime.

Why wouldn't Texans be proud to live in a state that allows them to protect themselves and others without fear of reprisal?

After talking to police Randal was back in the store. She said she had to keep her promises to customers. "We have orders that have to be delivered," she said.

If only all American citizens had such work ethic!

/Bet she wouldn't take a personal day due to "stress"
//I want to move to Texas

I love the engrish quotes in the article

Sadly, there's still plenty of room for people like you to slither under it, though.

Well for texans its either that, or being proud that a considerable portion of Pee Wee's Big Adventure was filmed there.

I'd go with the gun toting thing too.

Agreed. Though, i hate the climate there. If you moved chicago's geography down there and kept the cold winters, id be happy to live there.

/mmm, mexican food.
//Say, if we had chicago food AND texas BBQ? thats... perfect!

Stanley Livingston?

I hate Texas bashers. I hate Bush even more for giving them so much god damn ammunition.

Uh...what?

"Born in New Haven, Connecticut on July 6, 1946, Bush was the first child of George H. W. Bush and Barbara Bush (née Pierce)."

Not Texas, Connecticut.

Because we get to shoot idiots that try to rob us with BB guns, we get to shoot anyone on our property that we perceive puts use in mortal danger, or in this case will shoot your eye out, its awesome.

I would assume they're proud because, you know, the lifelong bad guy got early retirement. Instead of another charge on a long rap sheet and another chance to beat up an innocent person.

Yay, another green. And on a somewhat related note I feel this vid on youtube needs to be seen.

Link (new window)

And no, NOT a rickroll or any of that nonsense.

butterwings

I assume because they like guns and see it as a healthy hobby. I also imagine it would also provide a sense of security for their home.

It could lodge under the skin and cause a nasty infection!

I moved to Austin 3 months ago and have to say I haven't hear anyone brag that he was the governor.


one more thought... since 1783, every time we were in a recession at election time, the party in the White House lost. This is no guarantee, but 235 years of history behind it, I would hate to be McCain right now.

He would have run into less cops if he had tried to rob a police station.

FTFA: "I grabbed my telephone," Randal explained. "He said, don't call police. I say I gotta do something."


....WHAT!???

Ok, considering this is Texas and the woman speaks very poor english, I think it is fair to assume that the shotgun "hero" considered blowing a hole in her as well because, y'all know, it WAS kinda fun, and ain't nobody gonna know. I'm sure the only thing which kept this from happening was the fact he wanted a donut.

hey, how are you this fine mother's day? I'm working today, uuugggh.
did you end up going to the beer tower place last night?

the bar I asked about was ok, but I did not have Scotch, nor did not try the shepard's pie.

Well, at least Buck Swope can open his HiFi store now.
