Have you tried other deterrents? Like sitting near your feeder with an air horn and blowing it when they come to feed? It wouldn't take any more effort than shooting them. They'll likely learn quickly to move on to quieter grounds.

That's a semi-auto, so out-of-scope for the OP's hypothetical.

Thanks, everyone. Apparently it was a common aesthetic choice in the late 70s/early 80s for several different places. I was likely in North Carolina at the time and it could have just been a local joint. I do remember one called Rikki Tikki Tavern . They had a taxidermy mongoose and cobra in a display case out front. As a kid, that was AWESOME!!!!!! I never got to go in because they sold beer, and respectable families in the South simple didn't frequent such establishments . . . or so I was told.

Not everyone getting waxed is a 10 . . . . or female.

It should also say "Our worst umpire is still better than Angel Hernandez"

Cumberland Island is the one just north of Amelia Island.

So THAT'S where the Arrested Development writers got the idea!

Hide yo droids! It's Jawas!!!!!!

that's good marketing. Anyone with a wheel gun in an Uncle Mike's probably still has a Blackberry.

Memphis is 99.999999% sure to follow suit later this week. The 2 expelled reps will be back in their seats, emboldened to embrace more antics with a clear mandate to say "what are you going to do about it?", and the GOP looks like a bunch of racist hillbillies. All of which could have been avoided and contained if the TN GOP could see past the next 3 seconds and gone with a measured response like censure (nothing more than a formal reprimand that actually does nothing), removal or demotion in committees, and maybe a 3-day suspension or something and a clear warning to ALL members that any future transgression like that WILL result in expulsion. But they just can't seem to help themselves and played right into the DNC and the media's hands.

Not necessarily. At the high schools, SROs are busy all the time. A lot more goes on for them to deal with than the very rare active shooter. I suspect middle school is the same. Some kids at that middle school age are simply awful humans. There's less going on for an SRO at elementary, but there's a lot more opportunity for positive interaction with the students to hopefully make them a little less awful in middle school.

I'd like to know what happened to those two. Did the sword of destiny unite them together forever or did she leave him for their other cousin with the ninja stars?

That's pretty much the gist of the Daily Mail article.

There are approx. 130,000 K-12 public and private schools in the US. That Ukraine aid would work out to a hair over $200K per school. It's certainly a start.

You're right. I went back and read the article. The article seems legit, but the title of this thread is not. Zero cocaine in Coca-Cola.

And the pictures thread that was virtually no-holds-barred But I will NOT summon Kentucky Conan.

Seriously? You guys are slipping. That's clearly a black panther.

The Daily Mail has a calendar too. They know what day it is.

I had something similar go down a few years ago. Another forum I was in at the time did a group buy of roto-molded coolers (like Yeti, Orca, etc.). The company was legit, but somehow went belly up after taking the money and before delivering the product. Poor communication like "they've arrived in Houston. Should be on the train to my warehouse this week" followed by nothing for weeks, then "they're in customs", etc. Always something. I don't think anyone ever got their coolers. Visa took care of it for me.

I think they need more guards.

That's his Smallpox face mask he pulled up to get the picture made.

He was also great in Fringe.

Assuming AZ has similar statutes to TN and based on what was presented in the article, no. An adult (especially a presumably healthy young adult) getting punched does not rise to the level of being in fear of imminent death or serious bodily injury. If there were other things at play like if the shooter had some rare brittle-bone disease, or the shoplifter jumped on top of him and was pummeling his head or bashing it into the floor, or the shoplifter presented a weapon, sure. But that's not what the article says and based on the arrest and charges, probably not what the store security video shows.
