Schertz is small city adjacent to San Antonio.

Good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun.

Might even work in a school setting.

But....guns are useless for self defense. That's what the mass media told me! How can this be?

I'm so confused.

AMERICA IS A WAR ZONE!

Except, of course, it isn’t. Especially when the baddies die.

“Good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun. Might even work in a school setting.”......

What a novel idea! Send that idea to the media, perhaps they would give it some TV/radio air and press time.

“Botched” home invasion? Who writes this stuff? Are they sad it wasn’t a successful home invasion?

“Send that idea to the media, perhaps they would give it some TV/radio air and press time.”

And since the homeowner is a “survivor”, the Press will insist that his political positions are immune to criticism. Right?

I love a story with a happy ending and a great line: Shertz homeowner ruins home invader’s shirts.

I was worried about the headline until I read the story. These days, I would like the homeowner to be allowed to scalp the villain and display it on a flagpole outside his home.

Are those the same police who used to schertz us as we sloshed through the gates at the Creedence, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and ZZ Top concerts years ago?

Was the dead perp, a vet, on active duty or does Brooke have a deal to handle gun shot wounds in that area, to keep up the skills for the Army surgeons, RNs and other ER/OR personnel.

You are right. What a botched choice of words. Or successful. Depends on which way you are attempting to lead your readers.

Thanks.

Last fall, my wife and I at one of our local stores ran into a young Navy Intern, who happened to be a patient years before in the Family Practice group where my wife worked.

She knew that he had finished Med School and had joined the Navy.

She asked him where he was interning. His answer was LA County. To learn how to handle serious gun shot wounds.

He had a his choice of Cook County in Chicago or LA County.

As a California boy, he opted for the warmer weather site.

That only happens in blue states like Californicator land.

Shot multiple times...will he be charged with “finishing off” the criminal?
