REGARDING:
“Too bad he didn’t find that church sooner. He might not have ever had to go to jail again. ”
I wonder if there’s a church named THE CHURCH OF THE OPEN SPIRITS
not that it applies, I just wonder.
I once told some folks I favored shooting drunk drivers where they were caught and leafing their bodies as examples to others rather than giving them a chance to kill some innocent children in the future.
They told me I would kill a lot of people.
I told them I doubted it would be all that many after the first few and way less than the tens of thousands who die every year because we don’t do it.
That was back in my more liberal years
Great job…
Good job Rick! Let’s see if 5-star tries to get the credit for this bust…..
Rick- good stop. One more for the goodguys!
Good catch, Ricky. I agree with EMD.
A loaded gun and alcohol–lethal combination!
Absolutely NO regard for the law.
He needs a L-O-N-G prison sentence !!
I agree…EMD
Too bad he didn’t find that church sooner. He might not have ever had to go to jail again. He may have found what he is really looking for there. His buddy too. He sure won’t find it in that open container (wrong spirit).
