Now that's right neighborly of you...
« on: January 12, 2017, 10:42:24 PM »
http://theseattletribune.com/ex-army-sniper-takes-out-neighbors-home-intruder-from-bedroom-window/

The link pretty much tells the story,  but it's really worth it to read to whole thing and imagine what must have been going through the home intruders heads... before the .308, I mean.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

He used his army "riffle" to off those thugs?

Whoever edited that piece needs to be taken out and beaten with a dictionary. 

"riffle"  three times.  Not once, but three.
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Awww... looks like it was a made-up story.  That might explain the terrible editing and writing that sounded more like a novel rather than reporting.

No comedic value at all. Just fake news.

Yeah I had SERIOUS reservations about it when I read riffle paired with the information on the rifle that was supposedly used.

I like the part where he just happened to stick a riffle out the window, and aim it at his neighbor's house.

As you do whenever you clean your riffle and adjust your scope.

And the fact that it is supposedly a Seattle paper reporting on an event in Texas ought to have been a tip-off. (If I had bothered to notice those two facts.)
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.
