Sweet! My wife and I are heading over to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge the middle of October for a few days.

Yes, I'm still trying to wrap my head around the idea that a couple of so-called public servants beating an innocent citizen to a pulp is simply a "big misunderstanding".

You mean like the "big misunderstanding" that led to the death of Erik Scott in Las Vegas last year? I'm not anti-cop. I know there are some good ones who are trying to serve and protect. But we are hearing more and more stories like this one where they seem to exercise some extremely poor judgement and somehow get away with it, and that's simply a crime.

I share your outrage at this, and I don't even have a family member with Down's. Every single one of those THUGS should be arrested, tried, then convicted for assault and battery. If they truly can't tell that this man had Down's, then they are MORONS and have no business wearing a uniform and a badge. Until LEO's start policing themselves and start getting rid of GARBAGE like this, then they shouldn't wonder why the public is losing their trust in local law enforcement.

I cut myself with one of my folding knives the other day. Should I have my knives taken away from me?

Can anyone suggest a good financial planner in the Franklin area?

I think it's a really bad idea. And the exposed trigger is not a wise thing, either.

Moochelle Obama isn't going to like this....

To my knowledge, the MM in Franklin is NOT posted, and never has been. And while I haven't been lately, I have been several times and have never seen anything posted.

Lostpass, as a former scouter and father of an Eagle Scout, I would encourage you to step up your involvement from "marginal". You seem to have a heart for scouting, and if your unit is like the ones we were in, there is a shortage of committed adults. Without knowing the specific situation, I can safely say that they need you, and you will never be sorry for the time you invest in helping young boys become men. I miss my days as a Scouter.

LOL. Makes me want to see that film again.

A man walked into the produce section of his local supermarket and asked to buy a half head of lettuce. The boy working in that department told him that they only sold whole heads of lettuce. The man was insistent and asked that the boy speak to his manager about the matter. Walking into the back room, the boy said to the manager, "Some ass hole wants to buy a half head of lettuce." As he finished his sentence, he turned to find the man standing right behind him, so he added, "And this gentleman kindly offered to buy the other half." The manager approved the deal and the man went on his way. Later the manager said to the boy, "I was impressed with the way you got yourself out of that situation earlier. We like people who think on their feet here. Where are you from, son?" "Texas, sir." the boy replied. "Well, why did you leave Texas?" the manager asked. The boy said, "Sir, there's nothing but whores and football players there." "Really?" said the manager. "My wife is from Texas." "Get outta here!" the boy said. "Who'd she play for?"

Oops, guess I missed the part about how big it was.

See if you can get them to donate it to a local Boy Scout troop. They can retire it in a proper fashion, and it's a good way for young boys to learn respect for the flag.

Nosferatu

Unfortunately, most colleges nowadays manage to educate the smarts right out of 'em.

"And, if you think there are 57 states in the Unites States of America, raise your hand"

If they are found guilty, I hope they are put into the general prison population.

Guess that's because Dread came to the meeting "unarmed", so to speak?

Very nice. I see that the MSRP on that Al Mar is $145. What's the street price?

Poor kid has already been indoctrinated. I hope he's smart enough to see the truth one day before it's too late.

You, sir, are a good father.

If you're a Fringe freak like I am, you'll want to know that the season premier is Friday night at 8pm CDT.

The last couple of RK shows here in Franklin SUCKED. I won't waste any more of my time or money on them.

Snagged one of these last week on Ebay for $10: Nice little work blade, 8CR13MOV steel, glass-filled nylon scales, silky smooth action. I love the look of the 2-1/2" blade which comes razor sharp from the factory. Not a tactical blade, but a good little general purpose EDC.
