Dog 'poop' row triggers shoot out
As If proof was needed that dogs make for dangerous pets and cats are safer.... :o(
Two neighbours drew weapons and fired at each other after an argument about dog 'poop' got out of control.
Jerry Blasingame, 60, has been charged with assault for shooting Terry Tehnet, 52, with a shotgun.
Mr Tehnet was angry because he thought Mr Blasingame's dog had defecated on his lawn.
Mr Tehnet, whose injuries are not life-threatening, may also be charged. He told police he visited his neighbour to complain about dog "poop" on his property.
The two men confronted one another with each claimed the other produced a weapon first.
"He shot twice, I returned fire," said Mr Blasingame.
Mr Tehnet said Mr Blasingame opened fire first with his shotgun so he took his pistol from his car and fired back.
He said he was hit in both hands, the shoulder, chest and side by shotgun pellets.
Chief Deputy Sheriff Billy Barber said: "Homeowners and property owners need to respect each other's property... If a dog did that in your yard, call the law. Don't take matters into your own hands."
LOL!
I read in the Mississipi Bugle that a redneck died and left his entire estate to his widow.
Trouble is, she can't touch it 'til she turns 14.
brit, here's proof that there are rednecks in Mississippi. Apparently they're a little smarter than their neighbor cousins-
A Mississippi redneck was stopped by a game warden in East
Mississippi recently with two ice chests of fish, leaving a river
well known for its fishing. The game warden asked the man, "Do you
have a license to catch those fish?"
"Naw, my friend, I ain't got no license. These here are my pet fish."
"Pet fish?"
"Yep. Every night I take these fish down to the river and let 'em swim 'round for a while. Then I whistle and they jump right back into this ice chest and I take 'em home."
"That's a bunch of BS! Fish can't do that!"
The redneck looked at the game warden for a moment and then said, "It's the truth. I'll show you. It really works."
"Okay, I've GOT to see this!"
The redneck poured the fish into the river and stood and waited.
After several minutes, the game warden turned to him and said, "Well?"
" Well, what?" said the redneck.
"When are you going to call them back?"
"Call who back?"
"The FISH!"
"What fish?"
I loved Elvis Pressley in Speedway. Hated Tom Cruise in Days of thunder and gave up Nascar when Skoal Bandit stopped running their cars :O(
Formula 1 season has just begun last Sunday in Australia.
Same folks different name Brit.
Hmm, when is NASCAR season?
I thought Texas had Rednecks and Mississippi had Hillbillies ?
Huge difference there. Sadly people get bored when football season ends. Don't worry, baseball season starts soon and the red necks will go back to their couches where they belong.
brit, when shots are fired, it's pretty clear what country it was :(
Ooh pilgram don't you know better than to assUme?
It was Mississippi :P
Damn you Pilgram. I had edited out the name of the town/state/country.
Actually it was in rural Mississippi :O(
Can I assume this happened in some backwater town in Texas?
