"I was in my house in North Carolina. It was fall. I heard someone walking on the leaves. And somebody actually turned the knob. So I said, "Stand four feet back because I'm going to shoot now!" Boom! Boom! The police came by and said, "Ms. Angelou, the shots came from inside the house." I said, "Well, I don't know how that happened."

Uncle Joe’s candid advice would get Suzie Q Public three to five.

She should write a poem about this.

I know why the caged bird sings and I know that if you touch my doorknob, I’ll blow your ass to kingdom come.

So she lied to the police and now admits it?

And some would say, ‘she’s a poet not a writer.’

I can guarantee you she’s a full fledged Obama backing commie and a gun grabber. She can have one, we can’t.

Actually, she sounds a little crazy - expecting the police to believe that.
Has she had a background check?
Did she wait 5 days before taking possession of those bullets?

She didn't need to fire her gun, she could have threatened to read some of her poetry. That’d be enough to scare anyone off.

I'd rather listen to Vogon poetry.

Scratch a leftist extremist, and you'll always find a hypocrite.

No biggie. Big Sis had dropped off a few cases of DHS hollow points for her.

Actually I would cheer her on if she had taken the time to identify her target before just squeezing off a few shots at someone through a door.

“The Shotgun Joe method.”

Yup. A proud graduate of the Joe Biden School of Home Defense and the Bill KKKlinton school of lying.
