An ex-husband went to his ex-wife’s home to pick his son up. The son wasn’t there but the ex-wife’s boyfriend was… with his gun. Dad dies, boyfriend has not been charged… his soon to be ex-wife is a Judge in the county.

When the gun is fired one would think it was a BB gun or an airsoft rifle but it was a real gun that really killed Chad Read. Why Kyle Carruth wasn’t and hasn’t been arrested is very disturbing. I hope with this being in the news Read’s family sees some justice. ---

Yeah, probably. It was so new I just couldn’t see to put it under the “justice didn’t prevail” because I kinda hoped justice would/will. The boyfriend is obviously a MF… the ex-wife from the video (no reaction) is one too. I give the current wife a “buy” for not getting upset/screaming because I did not realize those shots were from a real gun. Hubby, kids and friends all shoot… long guns and handguns, Even the .22 rabbit rifles sounded louder than when the guy was shot at (his foot area and then his body). I’ve been keeping watch and now it’s down to “Castle Doctrine” which makes no sense since it was the ex-wife’s place, not the boyfriend’s: [https://www.everythinglubbock.com/news/local-news/kyle-carruth-attorney-makes-case-for-self-defense-after-deadly-shooting-of-chad-read/](https://www.everythinglubbock.com/news/local-news/kyle-carruth-attorney-makes-case-for-self-defense-after-deadly-shooting-of-chad-read/) ---

James Beeks, the Broadway actor who was arrested for his part in the 1/6 attack, went all SovCit in the court and almost got himself thrown into prison for refusing to recognize the right of the court to try him. When his appointed attorney (whom he initially tried to fire because he was a Sovereign Citizen and didn’t need an appointed attorney) convinced him to knock it off, the judge allowed him to be released with an ankle monitor, but he was still in Milwaukee, where he was arrested while on tour, and the federal marshals had confiscated his car, so the judge ordered the marshals to give him back his keys so that he can drive back to his home in Florida where he will be under house arrest. > **[Broadway Actor Charged in Jan. 6 Riot Nearly Ends Up Jailed After...](https://www.mediaite.com/crime/broadway-actor-charged-in-jan-6-riot-nearly-ends-up-jailed-after-gobbledygook-court-comments-piss-off-judge/)** > > There is more wackiness in this story than can fit in one headline, so buckle up.

Even touring companies have understudies. Often they’re actors playing lesser roles, and there’s then an upward shuffle until basically there’s one less person in the chorus for the duration. ---

That’s nothing new, unfortunately. Over 20 years ago there was a hoax about people getting infected with HIV by needles attached to fuel pump handles: > **[Are Motorists Finding HIV-Infected Needles on Gas Pump Handles?](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/hiv-needles-gas-pump-handles/)** > > Are service station customers getting stuck by HIV-loaded syringes affixed to gas pump handles? Then in 2017 someone really was poked with a needle on a pump, no doubt inspired by the old hoax: > **[Man Reportedly Pricked by Hypodermic Needle While Using Gas Pump](https://www.snopes.com/news/2017/05/26/hypodermic-needle-gas-pump/)** > > An incident in which a California man reported being cut by a hypodermic needle while pumping gas resembled an old email hoax.
