Woke this morning to gunfire.

   
Even though we're not that familiar with the sound of gunshots, we knew what it was. Boom, Boom, Boom. Then silence for a count of three. Boom, Boom,Boom. It sounded like the shooter was standing on our front porch. My husband looked out our bedroom window, but it was pitch black and he could see nothing. We strained to hear and heard nothing. I wondered why the dogs weren't barking. It was unnaturally silent like the silence that comes with a heavy snowfall. We whispered to each other as we moved to the front bathroom away from the windows. Should we call the police?

Then came the other shots, more coughing than booming. A different gun.Was there one person out there or more? Then we could hear faintly someone shouting across the street. I retrieved my cell phone from my bag in the dining room and dialed 911. I told the dispatcher to let the police know there was an active shooter, that he was still shooting, that we couldn't see him, and had no idea what was going on. I was really afraid they would find someone dead in one of the houses across the street.

 I went upstairs to see about our daughter. I scared the living daylights out of her. She thought she had heard the shots in a dream. I told her to come downstairs and we waited in the back of the house for the police.

Four squad cars pulled silently into our neighborhood, lights low and stopped at our drive. One of the sheriff's deputies talked to my husband at the door, then went to investigate, telling us to stay inside.

Later we learned that they found the shooter, sitting on his porch across the street, an assault rifle across his lap. He was so drunk that when they told him to stand up, he fell off the porch. He had been firing various guns into the air, into the ground, and into his own car. They told us they found seven guns in his house and, of course, took all of them. They were looking for shell casings for several hours. I hope he never gets his guns back. I don't have much hope he'll never be able to buy another one, though.

I have some faint inkling of how the people in the recent mass shooting felt; of how people in areas where the sound of gunshots is the norm feel. It's not a good feeling.

Why do they feel compelled to always have to be part of the latest hysterical frenzy? 

[SVPete]

Must be a bit from a rejected manuscript for a stupid detective novel. Or maybe a rejected script for the final season of "T. J. Hooker" or the original "Hawaii Five-0". The reason for rejection being comedic implausibility.

[Patriot Guard Rider]

Cool story, bro.

[Maverick1987]

I believe this story is mostly true, except no guns were involved.  This was just a way for Stage Left to add to the GUNZ!!!!!! hysteria.

C' mon DUmmy. "Pop, pop, pop" or "crack, crack, crack" is believable. "Boom, boom, boom" is not, unless ol' boy was firing .50 cal or the like.

 

[Mr Mannn]

Bouncy. False narrative. No Bongs.

The whole story is unbelievable. here are the main two lies that jumped out at me.

1) Law abiding gun owner, gets drunk, goes nuts with a gun. shoots his own car: Never did this before. one drink and gun owners shoot up the neighborhood.

2) Cops report back to people who never called them, that they took SEVEN guns. They must have gone door to door reporting what happened in the hood.

Stage Left probably had the first draft written the day after Oregon. They've been working on it ever since and made sure it had all those adjectives.

This is another lie. There is no way, no way, NONE the cops would have told the guy to stand up if he had an
"assault rifle" on his lap. They would have heard cops screaming for him to put the gun down and get on his stomach, not tell him to stand up.

As long as this DUmmie worked on this fantasy, you'd think they'd insert some realism, you know, like a short standoff or something to make it dramatic.

You're asking to DUmmies to have a little thought process in telling their BS stories, probably not going to happen.

Liar.

[thundley4]

Very poor bouncy. No mention of the race of the neighbor, nor claiming that said neighbor would have been shot multiple times by police if he'd been black.

[Duke Nukum]

So the DUmmie called the cops? Really?! Did they shoot and kill another 23-year-old "teenager" of color because of this DUmmie's racism?

62. Your cops must be really inept or really understanding of this particular guy.

Asking a person with an assault weapon to stand up is not something I would do if I were a cop. Also, bullets that are shot up into the air do come down. I would file a complaint against this guy if I were you. I would not want someone that crazy in my neighborhood. I hope you stay safe, but that guy sounds pretty nutso to me.

65. Being tucked in the back corner of my house

while they confronted him, I don't know exactly what they did. I think you have a good point about a complaint against him. Thanks.

Fog of war excuse.

I googled it dummie. Got nada. The closest thing was someone firing shots into "property" and it was an air rifle.  On Sept. 27th. 

Post a link to the news story or you are a liar, dummie.

[Fourwinds]

Never in my life could I produce the stories some of these people crap out. My God, why on earth would you want to look like a weak little lily for all the world to see?

You imagined the whole thing.

The Stupid is always strong in the DUmmies.

I'm thinking it actually went something like this:

Why do they feel compelled to always have to be part of the latest hysterical frenzy? 

Because Liberals by their vary nature, are ruled by their own hysterical emotions.  It's kinda like two hypochondriac's having a conversation, they will continually try to "out sick" each other.

Funny -- Punching drunk shoots car into google news search produces no results.

[jukin]

So... last night I went to sleep with my wife of 32 years and woke up to three 20 year old gorgeous models.

I give the same bong rating to both fables...... Hint it was only two 20 year old gorgeous models and they flush birds for me.

That would give you four women to nag you. You can have that dream. Me? Not so much.
