Oh Boy, Away I Go!

Kentucky Fried Chicken can kill you.

Blind Man Balancing Food and Gun Shoots Wife

MORGANTON, N.C. - A man who is legally blind accidentally shot and killed his wife while trying to balance a plate of fried chicken and a pistol, authorities said.

Kelly Honeycutt, of Morganton, was moving into a new home with his wife, Norita, on Monday night. Honeycutt, who found the .38-caliber pistol in a box, shot his wife in the head after she handed him the food, Burke County Sheriff's Sgt. Robert Beall said. Beall said the husband was more than 50 percent blind, had limited movement and was in advanced stages of multiple sclerosis.

And the cops buy into this? Gimme a break. 50% blind - close 1 eye and you are 50% blind. Obviously he could see well enough to find the gun in a box. She must have been real short or held the plate of chicken up high to get shot in the head. I wonder if he ever told her he didn't like Kentucky Fried Chicken?





Reno Man Arrested After Leaving Daughter in Car After Wreck

A Reno man is facing multiple charges after allegedly crashing his car and fleeing the scene, leaving his 9-year-old in the vehicle hanging upside down in her seat belt.

Witnesses told police that Vega crawled out of the car, grabbed the girl by the arm and slapped her in the head to try to get her to run with him. Vega fled when witnesses intervened, but he was arrested several blocks away.

Here is a great example for father of the year.







Customer Subdues Robber With Applesauce

PHILADELPHIA - A customer at a city grocery tackled an armed robber and beat him with a can of applesauce when he refused to drop his gun, police said. The suspect shot himself in the head during the struggle, and passed out after the 66-year-old customer administered four blows to the head with the Mott's applesauce.

What a great ad Motts could have with senior citizens. For the record, the bad guy was 23 years old and had a gun. The hero was 66 years old and had a can of applesauce. Now that senior definitely has the "can do" attitude. Seniors still rule!!!!!







Well, some seniors rule.

Feud Over Senior-Home Rules Turns Deadly

BALTIMORE - A long-standing feud over house rules at a seniors' high rise led one octogenarian resident to shoot and kill another, police said.

The shooting on Monday apparently occurred after an 86-year-old desk clerk at the building refused to allow an 80-year-old resident's granddaughter to board an elevator without a visitor's pass, police said.

Thomas Batty, 86, was shot once in the head as he sat behind the front desk, and Clyde Lewis, 80, was charged with murder. Both lived on the building's 12th floor.

This is an extreme case, but anyone who has lived with CC&R's kinda understands part of this story.







And yes Las Vegas citizens, we have made the national news for something other than gambling.

Vegas Makes It Illegal to Feed Homeless

LAS VEGAS - In an effort to curb charity that is having unintended consequences, the City Council has made it illegal to give food to homeless people in city parks. Residents complained that the large numbers of homeless gathering in the parks make it impossible for others to use them, said city spokesman David Riggleman.

"We're trying to empathize with both camps," he said. "We're hoping we can improve their lives and improve the lives of people living around the park, some of whom have people urinating and defecating in front of their door."

The law, which went into effect Thursday, targets so-called "mobile soup kitchens." It carries a maximum penalty of a $1,000 fine and six months in jail.

The law defines a homeless person as an indigent "whom a reasonable ordinary person would believe to be entitled to apply for or receive assistance."







Well, this will stir it up!

I, for one, believe what happens in Vegas (when it comes to the homeless) should not stay in Vegas, but rather be given a bus ticket to anywhere U.S.A.

Yes, I'm sure that will fire some of you up, but here's the deal. Help for the homeless is there, but most don't want it!! Those that do want help, get it! Most of the homeless people are homeless by choice. Yes, there are some that are homeless by circumstance, but they are able to get help they need.

'Work' is not in the majority of the homeless persons' vocabulary. For the few that have 'work' in their vocabulary, there are services that help place them. The majority of homeless people in Las Vegas were not born here, they came from somewhere else, and if it is so bad here, they will move on.

In the case of the feeding of the homeless in our parks, that is not the place - Period. End of story. I for one use the parks that my tax dollars, not the homeless tax dollar, build.

This type stuff is good for headlines for some goody 2 shoes, but in fact, we would not be able to take our kids, let alone ourselves, to the park with this going on.

For once I agree with the Mayor and city council.

Think about it, have you ever seen anyone take a bag of bird seed to the park and feed the pigeons? What you end up with is more pigeons than you can handle and a filthy mess all over and around the park. Then, my friends, the parks are no longer a place to enjoy.

This amounts to someone wanting to make a name for themselves, nothing more.

If helping the homeless by giving them food is so important, then they should take their food and distribute it through the charitable agencies that are set up to do that. I'm sure they will welcome their food and labor. I, for one, see no reason for the hardworking people who donate to those charities to be forced to let some do-gooder take away our parks.

Sure, I know that this is not a politically correct thing to say, but facts are facts. When I hear people complaining about this type thing I simply ask them how much time, effort and food do they give to the shelters.

Simple question - if I want to invite gang members to stop by the park closest to the goody 2 shoes' house every day for a snack, will they feel the same? I think not!

There are those that will say comparing homeless to a gang is not the same. Partially true, but what is fair to one is fair to the other!!!

But never fear, the protector ACLU has taken up the cause for the homeless. So say goodbye to your parks!!!

By the way, the reason we have so many illegals in this country is because they are taking the jobs the American homeless people don't want to do!!!!


And away I go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
