c@lbobMemberI scan the forums here, often shaking my head. “Who ARE these people” is a recurrent question I utter, sometimes loud enough for Charla to hear.
The folks who say they pack a gun and would use it to get rid of an aggressive dog or backyard prowler usually set off that query.
The illogical, but certain, slope we are on shows up in the news from Oklahoma yesterday:

One less gangsta, eh? Wouldn’t a deer get better treatment than that?
So, Oklahoma has a “make my day” law, very Wyatt Earpian. This pharmacist had the robbers on the run, but shooting one in that circumstance wouldn’t be a crime, according to the DA.
No, you gotta go get another gun to pump five more slugs in the guy in order for the action to be questioned.
Then the fine folks of Oklahoma City came to the druggists defense. “Right on Jerome. Do it for me, one more time.”
Who ARE these people?

charlabobParticipantWell, at least now we know who votes for Oklahoma senators Tom Coburn and James Inhofe — that question also comes up frequently in the charlabob residence.

JoBParticipantThese are the people who make nut jobs think it is ok to kill abortion doctors.. after all… they are just handing out vigilante justice for all those babies killed…
these are the people who think it is ok to torture terrorism suspects because they must be guilty if someone said they were.. and even if you don’t get solid intelligence by torturing them… you set an example for other terrorists…
they aren’t all in Oklahoma…
This makes me cry for all of us if i think about it too much.
I now suspect i won’t live long enough to see the end of this.

I read it that the second one didn’t run until after the first was shot…

c@lbobMember“The video shows two men bursting in, one of them pointing a gun at Ersland and two women working with the druggist behind the counter. Ersland fires a pistol, driving the gunman from the store and hitting Parker in the head as he puts on a ski mask.”
I read that as the guy with the gun was sprinting out before the shot was fired. Otherwise, he’d have been shot, too. Jerome shot the only target he had.
