What a stupid authorette.

Just wow. She married someone who was so ignorant, stupid, and irresponsible as to shoot at a street light with a gun they found on the street.

Forget about the bullets coming down somewhere. The odds of someone getting hurt are small.

But what about the obvious property damage. Replacing a street light, minimum of a couple hundred dollars and more in material and time

more likely for the bullets to smash a windshield or window than a person.

Sounds like her husband should have been locked up long ago.

Sure, people do stupid things all the time. But deliberately doing destructive acts, merely for the sake of destruction... that is the mindset of vandals.

This thing of the shooter "finding the gun near the trash". It stinks. The ID was in the fanny pack.

It was outright theft. I have serious doubts he "found it by the trash".

“First of all, it is a sad commentary that this is what it has come to in our city —that someone taking out the trash has to arm themselves with a handgun.”

Predators specifically watch for that. Taking out trash on a scheduled night in your slippers while leaving the door unlocked is golden opportunity for home invasion or rape.

Some people will never want to work and only live by stealing. Some people are insane and dream of making paintings with your guts.

That’s the real world. Every day countless innocent people like this lady are attacked and wish they had a gun when it’s already too late...

Well Mary, last Republican mayor of Chicago left office in 1931.

Does that suggest anything to you?

It should at least suggest to you that it is not the fault of those racist Republicans.

My dentist’s office was in an expensive section of Tallahassee. The government put a bunch of Section 8 housing in a formerly nice nearby neighborhood. Now, the receptionist has a gun under her desk and it takes two to put the trash out. One carries the trash and the other carries the gun to guard her. Occasionally, you see people on the sidewalks that lead to shopping areas who are acting weird (having a loud argument with someone who is not there, for example) or simply too stoned to walk normally.

Sad????I think it is smart, very smart. Where I live everybody carries and we have a very low crime rate.

OFFS! The author sounds like a foo............. Oh, IS a fool.
