Those two won’t be exhaling climate-altering CO2 any more...
I’m gonna call innocent on the two. Both tried to help the environment by stopping migrating lead with body blocks. ;-D
Reminds me of a case over in Oklahoma many years ago.
A man had just cleaned and reloaded his .22 rifle when his door was kicked in. He nailed the perps DOA. Talk about timing!
I’d call two dead perp’s a happy ending.
Sniff, I love happy endings.
