Once again, politeness proceeds down a public thoroughfare.

A man was driving his son home from a baseball came and politeness happened.

The chief said he didn’t know how long the shooting lasted or how many shots were fired. He did say the vehicles were traveling next to each other “for a period of time” on the highway, but his department has yet to learn what happened before they were side by side.

“We believe the shooting occurred on the highway,” the chief said, “and then after the driver was shot … the vehicle traveled off the west side of the highway, through the ditch, through some trees, through the fence and into the parking lot of the apartment complex.”

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

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

Gene Collier suggests that our proliferation of projectile pushers does not propagate protection. Here’s how he opens his article:

Believe it or not, you can still identify with high confidence a vast assortment of places in 21st century America that are relatively safe. Prior to the crazed holiday weekend just completed, those places included the 10th green at Pinetree Country Club north of Atlanta.Not anymore.

Someone picked that spot to shoot Gene Siller in the head Saturday. Siller was the club pro at Pinetree. He left a wife and two small children. Two additional bodies were found in the bed of a pickup truck parked nearby, slaughtered in a similar manner.

We are again reminded that a polite society is a clean society.

What goes up must come down.

Be polite to your fellow travelers.

Officers say the victim, Reginald Coardes Jr., of North Charleston, was travelling (sic) in his vehicle with two friends when one of the friends, who was in the backseat, was handling a gun when it accidentally discharged, striking the victim.

Charleston County Coroner Bobbi Jo O’Neal says Coardes died from the gunshot wound after being transported to Bon Secours St. Francis Hospital.

Guns and stupid, guns and stupid.
They go together like love and Cupid.
Let me tell you brother,
You can’t have one without the other.

Drivers demonstrate politeness in traveling to their intended destinations.

Police said two male drivers got into a minor car accident. They each got out of their vehicles, an argument began, and then it turned violent; one of the men shot the other, authorities said.

Suffer the children.

Thus passeth another day in NRA Paradise.

When out with your wife, dine with politeness.

According to Panama City Beach Police Chief J.R. Talamantez, a husband and wife couple, from Alabama had just sat down to eat, when the man’s gun, which was in his pocket, accidentally discharged and struck the wife’s calf.

One more time, “accidentally” is not a synonym of “negligently.”

Guns and stupid, guns and stupid.
They go together like love and Cupid.
Let me tell you brother,
You can’t have one without the other.

Spread the politeness around.

We no longer have a civilized society, if, indeed, we ever did.

Once again, children discover politeness.

The victim of the shooting was reportedly left alone at home with his sister. In the absence of adult supervision, the children explored a cabinet and found a firearm. Sometime after the discovery, the older child accidentally fired the loaded gun. He ended up inflicting a single head (to himself–ed.) wound which proved to be fatal.

Thus passeth another life in NRA Paradise.

Get a leg up on politeness.

Play politely.

Where do these folks get the notion that a Glock is somehow the new Fanner Fifty? Hell, I had a Fanner Fifty when I was a kid. I knew it was not the same thing as the .32 calibre revolver that my Daddy had inherited from his father.

One was a toy. The other was an instrument of death.

Party politely.

Fly the fiendly skies with politeness.

The writer of a letter to the editor of the Law Vegas Sun reminds us to plan ahead.

Be polite at the drive-through window.

We no longer have a civilized society (if, indeed, we ever did).
