This is what happens when a delusional violent offender is allowed back on the streets.

It’s called “sport.”

Packing heat to the beat is always a treat on South Street.

The victim who was shot after a brawl outside of a South Street bar has died from his injuries.

The melee started just after 1:00 a.m. Sunday inside the Mixed Plate in the 200 block of South Street.

“Choas, absolutely chaos, never saw anything like it in my life. It set me off balance,” said Dominic Vadino.

Be polite to your spouse.

According to deputies, Michael Boyce initially told investigators that his wife, Alexis Boyce, shot herself in their apartment but his story later changed when he was confronted with more evidence.

He eventually told deputies that he accidentally shot her in the head, Sgt. Mike Ruggiero said late Thursday.

I had breakfast in a Waffle House yesterday; I like them because they have real (AKA country) ham, rather than that pathetic boiled Yankee “it calls itself ham” pretend ham.

The staff was polite and attentive, but not this polite.

A suspect was in custody Friday morning after he allegedly shot up a Cobb County Waffle House, police said.

Pierce said a restaurant customer “got into a verbal argument with other patrons in the Waffle House when he got up and fired two shots into the air, and then before leaving in a car fired one more shot in the direction of others inside.”

How is this not “terroristic threatening“?

Addendum:

Bob Cesca is right, you know. You may be enjoying being nasty, but you’re still being nasty.

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.

DIY politeness at the Home Depot.

When it comes to politeness, don’t chicken out.

According to First Coast News, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office deputies were called to the restaurant at around 9:25 a.m. Monday morning and found that the victim’s car had been struck by at least one bullet in the driver’s side of the rear window.

Investigators said that the victim had attempted to drive around an older brown Buick Regal which appeared to be stalled in the drive-thru line when the suspect got out of the passenger’s side of the car and began cursing.

Be polite to persons in distress.

Police are investigating the shooting death of a Detroit woman who was killed while seeking help after a late-night car wreck.

And if you want to know why she deserved such courtesy, note that she was a young Not White woman looking for help in a predominately white neighborhood.

Childish politeness.

According to Public Information Officer Drew Latch, police responded to a call in the Arkansas Walmart parking lot at 11:04 a.m. on Saturday. When officers arrived, they found a man, identified as Monty Wheeler, who had been shot in the back.

Upon further investigation, officers determined that the man had actually been shot by his child, age unknown, who attempted to enter his father’s truck by scaling up the driver’s side. The child accidentally grabbed hold of an unsecured and loaded shotgun, which discharged and struck his father in the back.

Little-known linguistic trivia: “Gun nut” is an anagram for “damn fool.”

Dick Polman comments on the price of politeness exacted in the Los Angeles TSA shootings.

A nugget:

Granted, the kid is charged with killing one of the workers he was free-expressing against, but we all know this is the price we must pay for Freedom, and it’s such a non-news event that this morning’s print edition of The New York Times contains not a single word about it. Nothing new here, folks, move along.

It was a relief to learn that the kid had chosen to exercise his free expression with the Smith & Wesson assault rifle, because that’s a product of all-American know-how, a real honey – a true Freedom tool, according to popular websites like budsgunshop.com . . . .”

Granted, there’s always a chance that you or I or someone we know and love might wind up as a Freedom lover’s collateral damage – hey, there’s always an inherent risk when you walk in an airport terminal, or when you munch popcorn at the movies, or when your kids play in kindergarten – but as a culture we’ve made our choice

Politeness casts a bigfootprint.

The Rogers County, Oklahoma Sheriff’s Department arrested three men after one of them was accidentally shot. Authorities are still searching for the gun used in the shooting.

According to Sheriff Scott Walton, the three men were hunting Bigfoot late Saturday night, when one of them was spooked by what he thought might be the legendary beast and fired his weapon, hitting his friend in the back.

“When you start off with an explanation like that, do you believe anything after that?” Sheriff Walton said.

We live in a society of stupid.

Forget the Dramamine.

Pack heat. It is the in thing.

But some passengers are positively bristling with weapons. TSA officers noticed that one passenger who took off his jacket to go through screening in Sacramento, Calif., last year was wearing a shoulder holster. In the holster was a loaded 9 mm pistol. The same passenger was also found to have three more loaded pistols, 192 rounds of ammunition, two magazines and three knives.

Just this week, TSA discovered 29 guns, 27 of which were loaded and nine had rounds chambered ready to be fired, according to information posted on the agency’s website. Screeners have found pistols hidden in tape decks, inside boots, in the lining of carry-on bags and even one that was disguised to look like a writing pen.

I’m not a big fan of the TSA as a concept or as an organization–there’s too much meaninglessly intrusive security theatre–but this makes me more sympathetic to it in theory and reality.

Two eggs over medium, country ham, and a side of politeness . . . .

An employee at the Waffle House on Lawrenceville Highway at Interstate 285 told Channel 2’s Darryn Moore he heard two cars collide by the sign outside and then several gunshots.

Antonio McDaniel, a cook at the Waffle House, told investigators he was working the grill when he heard the commotion and dialed 911.

“It was a black car parked sideways and the white van was just ramming it. Guy jumps out of the black car and started letting off rounds,” McDaniel said.

Politeness begins at home.

The 14-year-old boy who accidentally shot his 13-year-old cousin Tuesday afternoon has been questioned and released, authorities said Wednesday morning.
