Um, B and then C and then A?

fatally wound. you mean kill, right?

The attacks happened just after 6 p.m. in the Deep Creek area of the city, police said, when a man approached the two, shot them and ran away.

So this wasn't the person that answered the door to them. This was someone else who came up to them.

Just the facts ma'am.

Is fatally wound unlike killing then?

My ex husband used to invite them in.

Perhaps they wouldn't be in the mess they're in now if their fathers had administered a few fatal woundings early on.

ApocoLypstick: Is fatally wound unlike killing then?

only in the mind of submitter

Without even RTFA, I'm going to have to go with C.

Shall we take up a collection? The shooter deserves something.

Besides, do you really want to mess with this?

"Oh, you've caught me at a bad time. But I was just butt slamming the 12 y/o from next door, you can do a few lines while you wait if you like."

Dancin_In_Anson: I offer them a beer. Tell them I don't talk or listen till we've all had one.

true story: we had some stop by, and we played right into their game. Full boat - questions, discussions, everything for almost 3 hours. They asked if they could stop back by the following evening to continue the talk. We said SURE!!

Put on a roaring kegger, complete with live band, stripping coeds and big ass bongs of pot and other stuff. They knocked on the door and when we opened it and said Come on in!!!, they like to shiat. They beat feet and were never heard from again.

I blow a big cloud of weed smoke into their faces, thus wasting all purity time they've tried to gather. They have to start over...and usually become stoners.

My sister converted to Jehovas Witness a long time ago and it created a lot of disturbance in the family force. My grandmother was not pleased. Around this time, a couple of JoHo's knock on their door and my sweet smiling grandmother turned into a shrieking she-devil. My grandfather had to pull her back from the door as she yelled at them; "You stole my grand daughter! You've ruined her life! What gives you people the right to...." Mt grandfather laughed his ass off as he told the story.

Ah... good times, good times.

Hero tag would be more appropriate.

/just kidding (well sort of).

Dancin_In_Anson: I offer them a beer. Tell them I don't talk or listen till we've all had one.

I'm going to try that.

buy a mezuzah. best 10 bucks you can spend that thwarts all zealot door-to-door religion sellers.

Let me summarize the comments here:

Hey, look at how much of a dickhead I can be! Saying, "no thanks," is too much to handle, so I've gotta brag about how much of an assclown I am.

Answer the door naked, covered in baby oil, holding a feather duster, wearing goggles, have your dog on a leash right beside you, and invite them in.


/Haven't had a Mormon near my house for 7 years now...

So no one is going to comment on the religious, racial, tolerance aspects of this? I mean come on; if a white guy had shot at two Muslims would this thread have taken this same path. Do not start talking to me about how we do not know for sure the motives blah, blah, blah; if you can sit there and say that nothing would be different, you have some issues.

I haven't seen anything here that's worse than going door to door asking people if you can talk them into your religion. Just because you think your god requires to be boorish doesn't mean it isn't rude as the day is long.

Let me summarize JoJo's take on all of this: I secretly have gay fantasies (not that there is anything wrong with that) about my brothers in the faith and I don't like you all bashing on our overbearing, zealot, strong-arm, hard-sell tactics when we come to your homes. ;)~

"... Saying, "no thanks," is too much to handle, so I've gotta brag about how much of an assclown I am."

Assclown behavior is much more entertaining than just saying "no thanks".

As for any person that knocks upon my door peddling their religion like a vaccum cleaner salesman, I just tell them "I'm not in the market for a cult right now, thanks, leave me a price list and a contact number, I'll get back to you" and shut the door.

Like I said, get a Mezuzah. Mount it on your door.

It's like vinegar to the flies.

I actually was a mormon missionary. (No, this is not that old cliche.) And let me say that despite our innocent and friendly behavior, rarely are any of the missionaries crapping their pants or freaking out or anything else when people pull their little funnies. In fact, being ambassadors, we are (typically) as friendly as possible but walk away cracking up and usually end up swapping our best stories when we meet up with other missionaries, tell the stories to our kids when we get older, etc... It's a bit naive for anyone to think that just because we don't drink or hit the bong we don't have a sense of humor or that knocking on doors all day in some of the worst parts of the world doesn't make us callous to the pranks of some crank-yanker who thinks he's original and funny. So play jokes if you want, we like them just as much as you do. Don't be fooled however into thinking it's a badge of honor. It's about as original as Gigli.

I greet them and offer them a slice of freshly slaughtered goat, of course.

If I could get away with it, I'd choose C too.

Kill - dead on scene
Fatally Wound - dead later from injuries sustained in attack.

shaumah So play jokes if you want, we like them just as much as you do.


You just set yrself and yr kind up for the ol' manure out the window trick!

Invite them in and ask them if Adam had a belly button.

Probably happened because of the spiffy way they were dressed. You know white shirt, black tie, black pants, Nike shoes, name tags, backpack, on a bicycle. The morman universal dress code for missionaries.

Police described the gunman as a black male about 5 feet 10 inches . They said he was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and denim jeans.

Isn't this the way all black males dress?

blackhalo

fatally wound. you mean kill, right?

Killed means already dead.

Fatally wounded means will die soon.

I ran into a couple of these guys last summer. Thought it was funny to have two American Mormons in their white shirt sleeves and ties ask me in Swedish if they could talk to me. I shot them down. But not like the guy in the article.

what works for me is a warning and then a call to the local constabulary. no violence on my part. that's why we pay the cops.

This is in God's hands - obviously they were shot for a reason or something stupid like that.

Yeah, well the JW's and Mormons come to your door and annoy the heck out of you till you either scare them away or relent and become one of them. If there were no psychopathic Muslims, then we wouldn't be bothered by them as much as these groups annoy us, since Muslims have no real policy towards attempting to convert others. These people on the other hand have put it to a science. Though I mourn the loss of the two missionaries, I hope this action keeps them away from my door.

"A" twice. Then "C". I've come close a few times.

I have this Mormon friend, we've been hanging out about 6 months and she hasn't tried to convert me yet. Frankly, I'm insulted. I even asked her a bunch of questions: "What's up with the secret wedding ceremony?" "How come Mormons can't gamble but can work as pit bosses in Vegas casinos?" "Why the no-caffeine thing?" My feelings are seriously hurt that she hasn't tried to get me on their team yet when I'm obviously curious!

shaumah - I liked your response.

Depending on how much time I have, I usually invite them in and try to turn the tables on them and convert them. It's like a game of cosmic chess. I don't get as many as I used to.

ga362: Probably happened because of the spiffy way they were dressed. You know white shirt, black tie, black pants, Nike shoes, name tags...

I knew the Geek Squad were morons, but now you're telling me they're Mormons as well?

Fatally wounded by an armed gunman...?
