True story

[RutherfordBHayes]

I once knew a young lady whose brother was convicted and sentenced to prison for attempted murder. Apparently, he was involved in some illicit activity which led to a disagreement with his cohorts. Shocking, I know. Somewhere in the course of events, this brother fired several rounds from a firearm in the general vicinity of these cohorts, and one of them took a bullet in the back. This is where the prison sentence came in.

My point:
As this sister was conveying this story through tears, as she loved her brother, she displayed complete shock that this seemingly small thing led to prison time. "He just shot him in the back to scare them. It's not like he was trying to kill anybody. And really it's their own fault," were her words.

I guess for some that are emotionally invested, guilt is a hard thing to accept, blame an easy thing to cast, and perspective an easy thing to lose.

God bless them.

**EDIT: Heavy literary device in the preceding story**

I`m not even shocked or surprised anymore and damn sure don`t know the answer but I`ll bet you her bro wasn`t a first time offender.

Since you started it....

Mickey Mouse was in divorce proceedings with Minnie. The judge said it was his understanding that Mickey was filing for divorce on the grounds of insanity. Mickey looked puzzled and said: "No your honor, I said she was 17ing Goofy".

Cool story brah

It has to due

with a little of what you say. There's a huge lack of accountability, in today's society, too. The social engineering that's been put in place over the last 50 years is starting to take hold, too.

Just look at the incident w the jpd officer, recently. Some thug is resisting and causing mayhem, while cuffed, and the cop puts him in his place. What happens? The uninformed, engineered, cries hate crime and the officer is fired.

This joke is a lot funnier if you can do a passable Mickey Mouse impression.

For those that missed it, this story is an allegory regarding current events.
