- An Indianapolis man attempts to intervene in an argument and is shot.
“During the verbal altercation, Parham pulled out a handgun and fired multiple times at Wodford.”
But at least we now know that Mr. Parham has the Constitutional right to own his handgun. While we’re on that topic, Indianapolis set a record of sorts: 11 killings in 10 days. Oh and yes, they ALL happened at the end of a barrel. Gawd bless our Constitutional right to carry a gun and blow other people away!
The lead headline in Thursday’s Star, written in larger type, was: “10 DAYS/ 11 killings.”
Remember folks guns don’t kill people. Bullets do while traveling several hundred feet per second! In the Indianapolis area and need a gun? Visit Don’s Guns. Remember: “He just likes to rent guns!”
Not much luck on videos this week. So continuing my street fight theme I found one that pits a skateboarder against a security guard. After the nice hip throw I wondered if the guard had training. If he did he lost his cool and and ended up slugging away just like a punk. It was also risky trying that with all the skateboarder’s pals near by. Anyhow, take a look at it!
