Seems that the biggest problem with meth is that it doesn’t kill nearly fast enough.

Common sense isn’t all that common.

If I had been shot every time I trespassed as a youth, I’d have been killed hundreds of times. I’ve walked miles and miles in a straight line, crossing property borders a number of times on one walk.

I’ve swam in other people’s ponds. I’ve used swimming holes. I’ve gone spelunking through caves. I’ve even hunted across other folks property as kids, with our 22s.

There was no malice, and in the areas where we did this, the property owners couldn’t have cared less.

How do you gun down a seven and five year old child? I’m guessing these two had the same last name before they were married. Their parents and grand-parents probably did too.

Nowadays so many children accompany their parents on crime sprees, I’ve become cynical.

Didn't take long for someone suggesting/hinting these people, and this little kid possibly deserved what they got...wow...

Tell me, what could have been their big crime while they were out in the dirt and brush?

That’s a backyard storage shed they were living in. Talk about east Texas white trash. These cornholers couldn’t even afford a mobile home.

Sheila Muhs took the first shot at the victims, then handed the shotgun to her husband Gale, who shot next, continuing to take turns shooing at the unarmed victims.

The victims were at the end of a daylong excursion on off-road vehicles through wooded paths along the Trinity River in the town of Westlake. Donald Coffee Sr., 36, his wife and two children, Donald Jr., 7 and destiny, 5 were all together in one SUV. A family friend, Patrick Cammack, 30, drove a second vehicle. An unidentified 11-year-old boy was also with the group of victims.

The Muhs shot 7-year old Donald, Jr. in his head, 5-year-old Destiny in her elbow and Donald, Sr. in the shoulder. Donald’s wife was unharmed. The family friend, Patrick Cammack was not so lucky. He was shot in his neck.

One report has Cammack fleeing in his vehicle in close pursuit by Sheila Muhs in her own four-wheeler. He abandoned his vehicle and started running for his life when Sheila Muhs shined her lights on his vehicle.

OK, I don’t really know much about meth addiction but what’s with all the bleeding scabs on the faces of those meth-heads?

From a website:

http://methfactsheet.com/

“Chronic use can cause paranoia, hallucinations, repetitive behavior (such as compulsively cleaning and grooming or disassembling and assembling objects), and delusions of parasites or insects crawling under the skin. Users can obsessively scratch their skin to get rid of these imagined insects. Long-term use, high dosages, or both can induce full-blown toxic psychosis. This behavior is usually coupled with extreme paranoia.”

It also deteriorates the teeth and skin even if you don’t pick and scratch at the ‘bugs.’

Yes he does. I suspect if we could see it though, the abscess in his soul would be much bigger.

I pray this doesn’t become another example of why “ordinary citizens” odn’t need guns!

Actually, this is another example of ordinary citizens who DID need guns.

Never go into the woods without a weapon close to hand.

Best regards,

Back in the heady drug hazed days of the late sixties and early seventies I tried just about everything, including crystal methamphetamine. It didn’t take long before the word was out that “Speed kills”. Everyone in the LA hippy and biker communities knew it forty years ago and (Most) stayed away from it. I have always been amazed that this drug gained new popularity as a result of the diminishing availability and increasing price of pot but that is just what happened in spite of the obvious price it exacts.
