I LOVE reading stories such as this one. I’m very proud of the good folks of Rhine and the Major in the Sheriff’s office had the right attitude for a law enforcement officer.

Just watched the video...
As long as we have folks like this, we have hope....
Just need more of ‘em!

But apparently, not a great outlaw...

“People in a small town excerising their right to bear arms.
“You might not want to come down there and mess with the Rhine folks,” Helms said.”

The money quotes!

Let me guess, if the chocolate crusader had a son he would look like him.

Notice a few interesting things about this story:

- The apprehension of said robber did not involve police, except once the robber had already been cornered.

- There was no cost for patrolling.

- No one’s dog was shot.

- No one’s door was smashed down by SWAT officers.

- No one was subjected to a cavity search because they looked like they were clenching their buttocks, except maybe the robber.

All in all an inexpensive and happy end result. So why don’t we move to this mode of law enforcement?

When seconds count, the police are just minutes away.

If the American people were truly united there would be a posse on the way to the White House.

So far all we got is a baby mama off her meds.

...who needs evidence when you have emotion?

LOL! Good one!

Love it!

Rhine apparently has a reputation as a tough, independent little town. Looks like they lived up to their reputation.

Could probably get him for defecating in public, too. Nice work, townspeople.

"The local that fired his deer rifle will be thoroughly castigated as a racist."

Worse, it will be found that the deer rifle in question is a Mauser sporter rifle. He's a Nazi.....

From the picture at the site, it looks like a Marlin 336, most likely in .30-30. It is also scoped, most likely a 3X9, I cannot tell the brand of scope.

At the local donut shop.

Because it would put the fat, cushy pensions of a bunch of thugs at risk, that’s why.

I love a good posse.
