An Augsburg College student and Sarah Palin supporter from Alaska was beaten on Election Night while walking to her dorm and called a racist by a group of four young black women because she had on a McCain/Palin presidential campaign button, authorities and the victim said.
Annie Grossmann, a freshman on the college hockey team, suffered a suspected concussion and blurred vision from being punched in the eye but declined medical attention,
SNIP
Grossmann said she was in a dorm lobby with a handful of fellow Republicans watching the election returns with a bunch of Democrats around next to me, cheering [Barack] Obama on and rubbing it in our faces.
Once Obama was declared the winner, Grossmann said, she left the building alone shortly after 9:30 p.m. and headed to her room.
Under a skyway connecting the two buildings, the four women bigger than I am came up to her, she said.
One approached me and got in my face and called me racist because I had the pin on. That really ticked me off, but I kind of left it alone because she was so much bigger than I am, said the 5-foot-2, 120-pounder who played boys high school hockey in Alaska. The girls in the background were just a little bigger than me. They were mocking me from the sidelines.
I didnt say anything. This one [bigger] girl grabbed me by the shoulders and was holding me. After about five minutes, I just wanted to get out of there.
Grossmann said she told the women, 'You guys dont even know me. Theres no reason to think Im racist.
At that point, she said, she pushed the bigger one in the group, and she punched me, and the back of my head hit a brick wall.

“I think were both bordering on.....”

You tell me what you’re bordering on first.
The truth.
My hubby was in the gun shop today and in the hour he was there, he said there were about 15 people in the shop. This shop is in a small (300 people or so) town in Iowa. The guy that owns it is in his mid seventies. Does decent business considering where he’s located, but I think this year could be a record breaker for him!!
Load the first rounds as Fiocchi Low recoil 2 3/4” OO Buck, ragged , last one should be a slug ,terminal.
A small gun store near me sold 50,000 rounds in two hours last week.
What kind of hockey player takes $%#@ from anybody? Every hockey player I know would probably clean their clocks.
rcf;All
I have a Mossberg HS410 and the instruction pamplet says no slugs or large size shot. I contaccted the company and assked around and the only answer i got was the barrel was modified. Can you explain better?
I also have other weapons so this is only for indoor security!!! Thanks
Barrel is not designed for it, you will get galling in the barrel, so use steel shot turkey loads, 3” or 2 3/4”.Get the clear plastic shells to see whats inside.I like the Fiocchi myself.
But, point taken.
LOL! Ah yes, I should really have already guessed!
