After using an eeepc for a while, using a regular keyboard feels like wearing clown shoes: the keys are so huge and spread out, it’s hard to miss. These clowns could have taken out the clown shooting at them with a single shot. 500 yards on a man-sized target? My youngest daughter could pull that off. With my rifle, two neophytes were able to hit 4″ square targets at 400 yards within a magazine. A drunk guy 500 yards away shooting at you all night and nobody returned fire? I think you could have checked windage on the tires on his Jeep, then opened his mind to new things with a single shot. That’s why I like shooting things; might let you have an impact on someone.

I swear. 500 fucking yards and these hippies cowered all night?

“We go camping to relax and spend some time with family and friends,” Burnett said. “But when you’re dodging bullets, the tranquillity is ruined. I’m hoping it’ll be a one-time occurrence, because Beaver Bay is a real nice campground.”

Some scumbag stomped his two year old kid to death as, apparently, multiple passerby tried to stop him. It isn’t clear from the article, but it appears that he did this on or near a road.

A two-year-old child, laying on the ground, is shorter than the ground clearance of almost any vehicle on the road. Why didn’t these passerby just run the fucking guy over? Afraid of some front-end damage?

I understand that not everyone is willing or able to carry a firearm; however, at this point, I only feel contempt for the passerby that did not use every means possible to save the kid. So he’s a big guy; maybe three or four of you mob him? Jesus. The passerby are complicit in this kid’s death.

So says Col. Ken Allard (U.S. Army Ret.):

I can now blow the whistle. Whether criminal or civil, local state or even federal, Alabama jurisprudence and law enforcement are ineffectual instruments, producing justice only as accidental outcomes.

The novels of Faulkner and Grisham, as well as movies like “My Cousin Vinny,” have captured the essence of the southern courthouse culture. “Vinny” is actually something of an understatement, an unhappy fact I learned only after living in Alabama from 2004-2006.
