Today's warm fuzzy
Before I get into the debate, I wanted to post a warm, soft, furry, cuddly, fuzzy story of the day that warms even my cold sliver of a heart!
The "alleged" perp appeared in front of a judge in a wheel chair after having the resident shoot his damn kneecaps out. If it were up to me, the only place he'd appear is in a pine box with a conspicuously bloody, large gap where his genitals used to reside, but I'll take the kneecaps today!The shooting happened after a 51-year-old resident of an upstairs unit in the building heard loud noises, apparently someone kicking in a door to the downstairs apartment, said police spokesman Duane Moss.
Moss said the 51-year-old, carrying a .22 caliber rifle, told police he demanded McGuire lay down on the ground after he saw him exiting the lower-level unit into a building common area. Maguire reportedly refused and reached for his waistband, prompting the man holding the gun to fear he was in danger of being shot, Moss said.
Moss said McGuire was shot twice in the left knee and once in the right, but he allegedly fled the scene. He was treated at BroMenn Regional Medical Center, Normal, which called police.
Too bad...Wrong caliber. But I actually liked his shot placement. Maybe "center mass" isn't always the way to go?

Is someone setting up a beer fund for this guy? He deserves it.

Not sure he hasn't exacted a much more severe punishment than you favor, Nicki.
This motorscooter will forever be reminded, painfully, of this night and reasons for not repeating the attempt to burgle. With every step he takes.
