What could possibly go wrong?
"That's right. After the Safe Carry Protection Act passed in Georgia, many of us made the sarcastic remark, "What could possibly go wrong?' Well, Saturday night something did. In the picturesque tourist town of Helen in the North Georgia mountains, a woman died as the result of a stray bullet which had already penetrated the shooter's hand as he stood outside a bar across the street from her. The German Alpine themed small town hosts many bars and is a popular tourist destination. The streets can be crowded on weekends and during the yearly Oktoberfest celebrations. Drinking is one popular pastime and set the scene for Saturday's tragedy. The shooter is a 53 year old man with a previous drunk driving conviction in 1999. He was outside a bar when the shooting occurred. He was found sitting on a bench with his injured hand. The woman his bullet found lay on the sidewalk across the street, dead at the scene, surrounded by family and friends, some of them children. Many years ago our family visited the little town during their Oktoberfest. We noticed students in various stages of intoxication staggering into a fudge shop and joked, "What could possibly go wrong?" as we imagined the nauseating mixture of fudge and way too much beer. We never imagined the deadly new combination that would result many years later. The man has been charged with involuntary manslaughter." |

He carefully lined up a shot on a bad guy, shooting uphill, so he did not hit a car on the freeway. A mile away, went through the sheet metal side of a metal building at the San Mateo Fairgrounds and lodged in the neck of a lady. Luckily did not kill her or paralyze her. **** happens. What about all those poor innocents killed in drivebys? Caused by a failed war on drugs. |

Murder by cop seems to be increasing in frequency. And police forces are loading up with military equipment. These are not good signs. |

Have to admit, I was LOL at Chris Hayes (MSNBC) last night when a couple of rocks were thrown at him by some of the more violent "protesters". Hayes is hyper by nature but you could tell that the rocks being thrown at him while he stood safely about 20 feet from a fence separating him from the protesters scared the crap out of him. He was babbling so badly he couldn't finish a sentence. Today MSNBC is reporting that Hayes was "pelted" with rocks. A bit of an exaggeration, for sure. I recall two rocks being tossed in his direction that caused him to almost **** in his pants. |

Or do you think you seriously get "news" there? |

I watch a lot of news and political commentary including, sometimes, Fox News. |
