Decided he was bored drinking beer and needed some fun.

About the only fun he’s facing now is hard time behind bars.

Deshon... What’s the over/under on how many times he’s been in trouble with the law? Or the odds that he shouldn’t even have a firearm under current law?

(My guessed answers: Over a dozen, 50 - 1).

Police said Washington, dressed in dark clothing, walked out of his home in the 6300 block of Garfield Street at about 10:15 a.m. carrying a .22-caliber rifle and a four-pack of beer.

When you're drinking Steel, 4 is all it takes.

The media were rushing to write copy as a vicious hate crime and blame it on Trump until they saw the perp's melanin level.

The headline was a gloss on a famous redneck joke: What are a redneck’s last words? “Hold muh beer and watch this!”

Even without the name “Deshon” or the picture, I knew the man was black because they didn’t say he had an “assault” rifle.

“hold my beer and watch this” is only funny when you hurt yourself. This drunk SOB decided to get his jollies by trying to hurt other people. This still might become a homicide case if the one person dies.

Sad. Weapons and alcohol never go together. Pick one, put the other away.

Remember, the 911 terrorists drank alcohol. Jihadists are given a pass on “sins”.

Story says nothing about possible motive I could see...not even that the motive is not known. Which makes me more suspicious than I should be that there are details suggesting a motive that is not PC to report. Am I being too cynical?

He could still be a muzzie. Lots of prison converts still talk a good game after they get out. But for most, as soon as they get out, pork chops & a “40” are back on the menu.
