“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0

Practice random acts of politeness.

Laine had been eating at the Waffle House, the Sheriff’s Office said, when four girls in an SUV pulled into the parking lot. Reddick, Benoit and two other girls had been hanging out at a friend’s house Friday night and decided to order takeout. Two of the girls — their names were not released by the Sheriff’s Office on Saturday — went in to pick up the food while Reddick, who had been driving, and Benoit waited in the vehicle.

No altercation preceded the shooting, the Sheriff’s Office said. Laine simply walked right in front of the SUV and started firing. Reddick was hit in her right leg, just above the knee, and in her right arm, and spent much of Saturday in surgery at Tampa General Hospital. Benoit, who ducked, suffered cuts to her legs as the glass from the windshield sprayed onto her.

Do not feign politeness.

A western Pennsylvania woman has been jailed on charges she hysterically – but falsely – called her son’s elementary school to report that the boy’s father was headed there with a gun, prompting police to briefly arrest the man.

And, in more news of the inadvertently polite . . .

A terrible accident sent a Reading, Pennsylvania father to the hospital. The 39-year-old man was reaching for his wallet when he mistakenly shot himself in the leg.

If more persons packed heat, this no doubt would not have happened, because polite.

Virginia Beach is not a city.

Virginia Beach, as much as I love my home state (you can take a Virginian out of Virginia, but you can’t take Virginia out of Virginian), is a suburb with a thyroid condition.

This is a city.
