Pro tip: A gun works best when you pull the trigger.
Wow, Honey look, it’s our son. I’m going to answer the door, you get your hunting rifle, I’ve got my .44.
From the other room: “You Betcha!”
Make sure the barrel is touching his skin. No, the other end.
Depending on when they shot him, maybe not. He broke into a house to beat the shit out of someone. That would have been more justified than most of that thread.
So, you’re criticizing a father for not shooting his son?
He thought him to be enough of a danger to arm himself. He then proceeded to let him get in a window, reach him and knock him to the ground and proceed to beat him.
He’s lucky he wasn’t shot with his own gun. Or any of the family.
Either be prepared to shoot a violent intruder or leave the gun in the safe and take your chances unarmed.
How did I not notice this thread before? The Palins make the Osbournes look like the Curies, plus Bricker was being the Bricktastic asshole I know he is but others seem occasionally reluctant to recognize, and this was before Trump was elected.
For my part, I’ll just say that in 2016 Sarah Palin seemed really intellectually limited to have been a vice-presidential candidate in 2008.
Now, today, with the benefit of comparisons to the current White House occupant, she’s starting to look like Golda Mier and Marie Curie rolled into one.
Man, did the scale change.
PTSD = Palin, Track Standard Demeanor
Sidetrack: the black guy on the left in the picture at that link currently plays Ezekiel on “The Walking Dead.”
So, from the mouth of Master Counsellor: Sarah Palin is the new gold standard for Republican intellect.
Phew. That suuuure is a load off of my mind.
I had no idea the value of gold had dropped that low.
d&r
Pfff. She’s dumber than a sack of hair. But I’ll still put her ahead of Reagan. 
In all fairness Bryan, you’re losing your grasp on reality. Are you going through a terrible divorce or something?
I read a report last night that described the incident, saying that when police finally arrived, both Sarah and Todd immediately got in their respective cars and left their home, heading in separate directions.
Anybody find that to be odd behaviour?
When it comes to the Palins defining odd behavior is difficult.
Hardly. This thread is almost like a minor but appreciated Christmas present, or at least this is how I assume Christians feel, not being one myself.
There are any number of plausible reasons for them to be running separate errands at that point: one was going to to the lawyer’s office, the other was going to pick up the other children, for example.
It wouldn’t shock me if the Palins divorced sometime in the next year, many other marriages have failed under less wacky and less public strain, but they might stay together. They still have a disabled child after all, and the second-youngest is not yet an adult.
Don’t let that bother you Bryan. After a bumpy ride to eternity, you’ll meet some fine missionaries. You’ll be alone and cold, lost and disorganized when they appear. You’ll plead with them to help you, telling them you’re lost and need direction. They’ll wink and tell you that’s why they’ve come. Thereafter you’ll be known as Bryan the Jehovah Witness as you go door to door delivering the Watchtower.
