Politeness is a family affair.

Grieving friends and family of a Minnesota mom shot and killed by her fiancé were in court on Monday, demanding justice for her.

Lacey Kuschel, 35, was shot in the back and killed as she held 5-month-old daughter, Aspen. The shooting happened at 2 a.m. on Feb. 25 in rural Todd County.

Tyler Slagerman told Todd County sheriff’s deputies he had been out drinking with friends that night and that he had grabbed the rifle because he thought he heard dogs barking. But, he says, the rifle accidentally fired, killing Lacey and narrowly missing Aspen.

Follow the link to read why the woman’s father expresses skepticism regarding the allegation that this was yet another random happenstance just by chance could have happened to anyone who had been drinking and decided to exercise his Second Amendment rights because he thought he heard dogs barking in the night unfortunate incident in which a gun fired itself tragic accident.

And thus passeth another day in NRA Paradise.

Be polite to our feathered friends.

A popular bald eagle hatched at Norfolk Botanical Garden had to be euthanized Saturday after being shot in Chesapeake.

Camellia, a 7-year-old male eagle, was shot in the southern part of the city near West and Benefit roads, according to Reese Lukei, research associate for the Center for Conservation Biology at the College of William & Mary.

“You cannot mistake a bald eagle for anything else,” he said. “For somebody to just shoot a bird is just disgusting.”

This was done no doubt by a Real Big Man.

A father must teach his children to be polite.

A Hollis man who told authorities he intentionally shot his 11-year-old and 9-year-old sons with a BB gun “as a rite of passage” is being held without bail in the York County Jail, according to Maine State Police.

While being interviewed by the DHHS, the 11-year-old said he and his brother were shot because they failed to do their chores.

In an interview “Pelletier admitted to shooting the children not out of anger, but as a rite of passage to get their own BB guns and to know what it feels like getting hit so they won’t shoot other people,” state police said in the post.

Our whole damn country is suffering from lead poisoning.

After the accident, exchange insurance information politely.

“There was some sort of fender bender. (My) son tried to do the right thing and pulled over to see if they wanted to exchange information. (The) young lady decided to pull out (a) gun and start shooting at both of my sons,” Westervelt said.

The teens were on their way to school, Westervelt said.

As Rogers and Hammerstein remind us, gun nuts have to be carefully taught.

(Police Detective–ed.) Nenciarini says the 44-year-old instructor was conducting a class for people seeking concealed pistol licenses when he “pulled his gun out of its holster, pointed it at the door separating the two classrooms and fired a round.”

A 39-year-old Detroit man in another classroom was struck in both legs.

A polite society is a clean society.

Deputies responded to a home in the 1200 block of Fifteen Mile Landing Road where a man had been shot in the leg, according to Charleston County Sheriff’s Lt. Rita Zelinsky.

He told deputies he had cleaned his gun, then turned off the lights and placed the gun on the night stand when it went off, striking him in the leg.

Be polite at home.

Falmouth police say a 23-year-old man was taken to Maine Medical Center on Tuesday afternoon for treatment of a gunshot wound that he suffered when his handgun fired unintentionally.

I do not wish to sound like a quibbling old pedant (even though I am all three), but, as a handgun does not have consciousness, everything it does, it does “unintentionally.”

Without consciousness, there is no “intent.”

Methinks the wording of these reports should more accurately cast responsibility.

The hunt for politeness goes on.

The incident, which police are calling an accident, happened at about 6:30 a.m. near Pickup Hill Road. The teen was hunting on private property at the same time as second hunting party. The teen was shot in the torso by part of a round fired by another hunter, police said. He was taken to a local hospital.

A day at the beach is no fun without a little politeness.

Self-politeness is the politest kind.

Witnesses told officers two people were handling a shotgun when it went off, hitting the 20-year-old in the face, according to Elliot.

More guns would certainly have prevented this. Just ask the NRA.

Also, pigs, wings.

Politeness is the foundation of family.

Officers were called to a home between Rudisill Boulevard and Baxter Street at 11:50 a.m. The men were handling a gun when it went off.

The father was taken to a hospital in critical condition but later died, police said.

Just another day in NRA Paradise.

Just another day in the NRA’s Garden of Eden.

On Martaevious Santiago’s 17th birthday, he shot his 13-year-old sister in the back of the head.

She had just hugged him in the kitchen of the family’s Florida City home, police said. As they separated and Tedra King walked away, Martaevious pointed a loaded semi-automatic handgun at her. Then he pulled the trigger and killed her.

Martaevious told police it was an accident.

More guns would have no doubt prevented this.

Get a load of the politeness.

The father of former Florida State football star Travis Rudolph was killed when, according to authorities, a gun accidentally went off at a Florida strip club.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office said Monday that 55-year-old Darryl Rudolph was in a storage room fixing items at Sugar D’s Adult Club in West Palm Beach on Friday when another worker moved a gun off a shelf in an adjacent room and it fired.

Just another day in NRA Paradise.

Politeness is going to the dogs.

Police say that people were out walking a dog. That is when another dog from another house in the neighborhood reportedly got loose and attacked the dog the people were walking.

According to police, one of the individuals walking allegedly tried to shoot the attacking dog using a legally permitted gun, but accidentally shot another person they were walking with in the lower extremity.

The hunt for politeness continues.

“The shooter swore he’d seen strutting toms and some other turkeys right up until then.”

But in reality, he’d been looking at a gobbler’s preserved tail fan, behind which Gary Dienst and Justin Wiles had been hiding and sneaking. The shooter was behind another fan. Bussone said the hunters ended up hunting each other.

Actual wild turkeys are smarter than these turkeys. They can tell the difference between turkeys and humans . . . . .

Politeness is the foundation of a successful relationship.

Pasquotank Sheriff Randy Cartwright said Wednesday that the shooting appears to have been accidental.

Witnesses said Williams’s girlfriend was returning the shotgun to a gun rack when it accidentally discharged, damaging a wall and causing several pellets to strike Williams, who was in an adjacent room, Cartwright said.

Politeness is nothing to toy with.

The Wake County Sheriff’s Office said the boy and an 11-year-old girl were playing with the gun Friday night at a home on Fishing Court.

The 12-year-old was shot but his injury is non-life threatening. The shooting was ruled accidental.

Politeness sells.

A 19-year-old Juneau man considering the purchase of a handgun was wounded when the gun fired, striking him in the leg.

(snip)

Police say a 22-year-old man was at the Wharf Building trying to sell the handgun. As the men handled the loaded handgun, it fired.

More guns no doubt would have prevented this.

Practice makes polite.

DDeputies said the child was playing in the backyard when she was hit in the upper body. She was taken to the hospital, but is expected to be okay.

Witnesses said residents in the area were target shooting when one of the rounds missed a backstop, striking the girl.

Clearly these clowns need all the practice they can get.

Be polite to your neighbors (emphasis added).

“Preliminary investigation revealed the neighbor was manipulating a firearm in his apartment,” the lieutenant said. The handgun went off, sending a bullet through the wall separating the apartments, and striking the girl in the abdomen.

Rescuers took the wounded teen to a hospital, where she was listed in critical condition after undergoing emergency surgery, Jackson said.

Afterthought:

“Manipulating a firearm” would appear to be police-speek for “playing with his portable penis.”
