Gotta love Texas. It's like the Jerry Springer show of the United States.

First thing that this story made me think of.

Final gun fight in "Equilibrium" (pops)

Sounds like the crook dodged a bullet as well.

The woman was working behind the counter when a man walked in and pointed a gun at her face. The woman leaned to the right and ducked just as the man pulled the trigger.

Bullsh*t. She shot first. They just digitally altered the scene to show her dodging a bullet in the remake.

Dufus: The two local sheriffs of the two parishes that overlap where this happened gave the woman a citation for excellent marksmanship.

I miss the deep south. God Bless 'um.

Dufus: Needless to say, this is in Louisiana where we have parishes instead of counties.

"Louisiana and Alaska - which uses the term borough - are the only two states to refer to county-level geographical units as something other than 'county'."

/learned something new

OMG She is a real American hero!

Here's another fine example of something Helen Keller can't do:

Shoot and hit an armed robber.

/Because she's a woman.
//Apparently the armed robber is too...

skinink: Violet unavailable for comment.

The director for Equilibrium also did Ultraviolet.

"Women should stay home and make babies! Preferably man-child."

What an ignorant statement. Have you ever been to Austin?

I see what you did there. Golf clap.

Amateur!

Jesus Christ, she's fast! Take a look at her neurokinetics, they're way above normal.

mr_bunny: I was robbed while working at a "Stop 'N' Rob" back in college.

The guy held a gun to my forehead for almost 4 minutes while that stupid electronic safe counted down to zero before shooting out $100.

/thought I would share

I bet that was the longest 4 min of your life.

Wow... Some people are just DICKS. Was it really necessary to hold the freakin gun to your head the whole time?

See, I don't ask for much from life... I just want a mountaintop fortress community for me friends and I retire to in seclusion while we drink until we die of old age, away from all the riffraff.

I've been to Lubbock, and I'd say the Jerry Springer comparison is letting Texas off easy.

Two years ago I was working a second job at a stop-n-rob near d-town Houston and a kid in a ski-mask ran in and pointed a pistol at my face. I gave up the cash and told him there was no way to open the safe, then he shot at me. I ducked to the side when I saw him close his eyes and he missed at point blank range. I grabbed a six-pack of Guinness out of the cooler, locked the door and never came back.

Dude, seriously? Because farking corner stores don't get robbed everywhere?

In the world of Kung Fu, speed determines the winner.

The director for Equilibrium also did Ultraviolet.

Ultraviolet had a director?

I must post the greatest convenience store robbery story in history yet again? Skip this post if you've read it before.

Nashville, TN circa 5 years or so ago:

Two guys walk into a convenience store. The first is holding a .22, and fires 2 shots over the head of the clerk just to make sure the clerk knows he is serious. Unfortunately for the robbers, the clerk is the store owner, a retired special forces member. The clerk reaches under the counter and grabs his 10mm. He shoots the robber holding the gun, and jumps over the counter. The other robber turns to run. The clerk pursues. As he passes the prone body of the .22 wielding robber, he double taps him in the back of the head. He then unloads the clip into the back of the fleeing accomplice. He drops the clip and reloads. Outside, a third accomplice peels away in the get away car. The clerk unloads the 10mm into the car. The driver is uninjured, but is found 3 blocks away when he hits a telephone pole, and is discovered to have soiled himself.

The families sue the clerk for wrongful death (a good friend of mine defended the clerk). The jury determined that the clerk's special forces training kicked in when he was fired upon. This included never leaving someone who might harm you behind you (hence the double tap on the guy with the gun). He was completely exonerated.

tylerdurden217: What an ignorant statement. Have you ever been to Austin?

Considering the last time I was in Austin I was hit on by a man best described as "ZZ Top in a bikini" I'd say Isotope may have a point. "Keep Austin Weird" indeed.

/family is from Texas
//Has plenty of Jerry Springer stories
///Austin was the best time I ever had sober.

not impressed



Bullet Tooth Tony: Boris the Blade? As in Boris the Bullet-Dodger?
Avi: Why do they call him the Bullet-Dodger?
Bullet Tooth Tony: 'Cause he dodges bullets, Avi.

Phil Helmuth is not amused.

hogans: "Women should stay home and make babies! Preferably man-child."

Is it bad that this is what I thought of too?

The_Holy_Prepuce: The director for Equilibrium also did Ultraviolet.

Dude! now I have to clean my monitor screen.

The Corporation: Jesus Christ, she's fast! Take a look at her neurokinetics, they're way above normal.
And her Midichloriens?

You might think so, but I have it on good authority that women just can't shoot...

calbert - Get it?

If I say no, will Lieu smack me?



/Actually, yeah, I know what it is.
//McQueen fangirl

Aha! Longview! Just one town over (if we ignore Hallsville, like everybody does)

calbert: Get it?
I get it, a Dodge and a Bullitt. Very good!

Kar98: hogans: "Women should stay home and make babies! Preferably man-child."

Yes, since it's the mostly guys commiting the crimes it seems .. men should stay home and do work around the house while women go out and live in a non crime world.

TTIUWOV.

/unless I'm missing something

misandrist_nympho: last time I was in Austin I was hit on by a man best described as "ZZ Top in a bikini"

Ah, you must be talking about Leslie.

What a poorly designed web site. They link the picture to a slide-show, of something completely pointless to show in any form but video, and then the video is played at 1 frame per second for 3 seconds.

Also, I'm not sure who got all hip thinking they should call it a "Netcast". Sarah Spangler needs to go find Egon and see if she can't get some shrink-ray action.

Get thee to the range, Ye are sorely in need of practice.
