Now we are going to have to register our bunkers or anything that can be used as a bunker such as root cellars and tornado shelters. Just you wait. You read it here first on FR!

They dug beside it, blew a hole open with a charge, and shot him.

Yep. This story is almost too perfect for the media to run with

Kindergartner, old armed white man, veteran, survivalist and even a bunker to boot.

I could see it now. “All inhabitable dwellings must be registered and have access for law enforcement”

"paranoid survivalist"

"PTSD veteran"

"gun-loving prepper"

"home-schooled loner"

Media talking points made on behalf of the "gun grabbing" regime. They are one the same.

Even if your crazy paranoid as squirrely as a junk yard rat...
that don’t mean some people are NOT OUT to “git you”...

Obviously those that vote for Barry Half-White.. are completely insane..
What amounts to being “nuts” these days MUST be gauged on a sliding scale..

The last census took care of that for you.

Interesting. I turned on Fox News and they were all over it. I changed to CNN and MSNBC repeatedly. CNN was running news but did not mention it until about 20 minutes after it broke. All MSNBC, AND NOTE THIS STORY IS FROM NBC, could do is continue with Chrissy Tingly and then have AL Dulton on. After about 30 mintues they still had not talked about it.

And people claim CNN and MSNBC are better news sources. MALE BOVINE EXCREMENT!!!

Thank God for the LE people who used common sense to bring this situation to a wonderful end. Prayers for Ethen the boy and his family. They face a hard road now.

Why is a state official doling out personal medical information on the boy... That is in violation of his privacy rights... or did those go out with the 2nd....
