This is why warning shots (in the form of a double tap to the head) are recommended.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Another future Obama voter taken out of action.
Found a follow-up in the March 20, 2009, Pocono Record :
"This week, Reneau Jacques, 18, couldn’t dodge another bullet, a sentence of 11 years and six months to 25 years in state prison for that crime. Facing attempted murder and other charges, Jacques was sentenced after pleading guilty to aggravated assault and attempted robbery."
I guess the prosecutor didn't feel like going to trial on the attempted murder charge. Punk is probably already back on the streets and shooting at people again.
Section 8 is a prime example of what is wrong with America and its government.
Actually there is only ONE Walmart and it is in Arkansas. Sam perfected the portals. It saves a lot on expenses.
Fortunately, Joshua Eastman doesn't live in Chicago.
There are plenty of studies showing Section 8 housing guarentees a community high crime rates.
The name is of French origin. My first thought was . . . Haitian immigrant.
Now that is a real surprise.

His sentence of 11 years and six months to 25 years means that he's not eligible for parole until he has spent at least 11½ years in prison.
In most states, this can get you into a lot of trouble if the aggressor is fleeing (as this story seems to go). However, for me, this kind of falls under the "better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6" rule.
I think so as well. It's hard to imagine the stress level unless you've pulled you weapon with the intent to kill. I lived thinking I was large, strong and cool headed, and I was... then God decided one night while I was dead asleep that he was going to show me just how "strong" I really was.
I was woken to the sound of things crashing in my living room and the only other person who was supposed to be there was my wife sleeping next to me. I was shaking like a little girl standing in the dark pointing a .44 mag down the hallway, waiting to meet my maker. There was absolutely no time to evaluate.
Turns out, it was my drunk neighbor and he crashed his motorcycle through my front door coming home from a bar or something. Thank God he gave me the guidance to wait that one second before I pulled the trigger.
I've since decided that God is some sort of comedian and I was sitting in the front row that night.
The point is: to anyone who thinks they are ready for anything, if you haven't seen combat, you aren't as prepared as you think you are. It's a pretty high-stress few seconds that no other situation can possibly emulate. I hope I do better next time.
“I always said to my husband when looking for a place to retire, we will check out the local Walmart to see the typical cross section of the population before we buy.”
My goodness, what a wonderful bit of wisdom! THanks for sharing..I will share this with my wife today.
Thanks again.
How stupid can thugs be? How many people go to Walmart just to buy ammo?
that said, i believe that some situations of 'coming to believe' are destined to be 'foxhole' conversion, that happen to take place in living rooms across the globe...
a .44 mag is just another tool for the Lord to use to make His point...as well as a gavel for his judgemnet...

Who would have guessed that it was a Black male?

Yes.
Jacques is probably itching to get outta jail, too.
That's the whole story right there.
