Annoy a liberal today. Hit them with facts.
No shots were fired. They helped round up illigal aliens coming across our border at night.
I look at this as a huge success. Way to go Texas Militia.

Stray bullet wounds man, kills woman across street in N. Georgia town
Woman hit by stray bullet while at Old Heidelberg restaurant and bar, according to police.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A Texas woman died late Saturday after she was struck by a stray gunshot in the town of Helen in North Georgia.
Police said the bullet came from a small-caliber handgun carried by a 53-year-old man from Jasper, Ga. The gun accidentally discharged, and the bullet traveled across Helen’s tourist-laden Main Street and struck the woman in the side.
Bystanders attempted to administer first aid, police said, but authorities pronounced the woman dead at the scene.
The shooting took place outside the Old Heidelberg restaurant and bar, one of many Bavarian-themed businesses in Helen, a town of about 500 residents in White County, 90 miles northeast of downtown Atlanta. The town’s main route, Ga. 75, is often crowded with visitors, many of them motorcyclists attracted by the area’s twisting mountainous roads.
Officers from the Helen Police Department responded to a call of shots fired at 10:41 p.m. Saturday. They first found the 53-year-old man, identified as Glenn Patrick Lampien, sitting on a bench, his hand bleeding. Officers then learned of a second victim, the Texas woman across the street, apparently struck by the same bullet.
Authorities did not release the woman’s name Sunday.
In a statement Sunday, the police said Lampien would be charged with involuntary manslaughter.
An employee who answered the telephone Sunday at the Old Heidelberg said the police had instructed the restaurant’s staff not to speak to reporters.
In a brief telephone interview, Lampien’s wife, Valerie, said her husband was recovering. She was not with him Saturday night in Helen.
“I don’t know what happened myself,” she said. “It’s an unfortunate situation.”
Lampien is the owner of Lampien Mechanical Services in Jasper, which installs and services commercial and industrial air conditioning systems. Public records indicate he was convicted of driving under the influence in 1999 and sentenced to probation.
The shooting occurred less than two months after a new law took effect in Georgia that greatly extended gun owners’ rights to carry weapons in public places. Bars are among the locations covered by House Bill 60.
In an online forum sponsored by GeorgiaPacking.org, a gun-rights advocacy group, one commenter said Sunday: “Of course, HB 60 will be blamed.”
A woman posting to the Helen Police Department’s Facebook page took a different view: “Guns everywhere! This is our brand new law in action.”

Florida woman shoots grandson, 7, after mistaking him for intrude
http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/08/19/us-usa-florida-shooting-idUSKBN0GJ1BT20140819
(Reuters) - A 7-year-old Florida boy was in critical but stable condition on Tuesday after being shot by his grandmother, who mistakenly thought he was an intruder, sheriff's officials said.
Linda Maddox, 63, was asleep with her twin grandsons in Tampa after the boys' father had gone to work, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said.
Just before 1 a.m. EST, she heard a chair that she had put against the bedroom door handle for extra protection sliding on the wood floor. Thinking it was an intruder, she fired a shot in the dark from a .22-caliber revolver she kept by the bed, authorities said.
"Seconds after firing, she heard the screams of her grandson, Tyler," the sheriff's office said in statement.
The child was hit in the upper body and was taken to a hospital for treatment.

California school district becomes latest to allow officers to carry AR-15s
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/08/2...mes-latest-to-allow-officers-to-carry-ar-15s/
(dangerous enough for AR-15's but it is still a gun free zone for ordinary citizens)

ONLY specialized officers will have these weapons in the TRUNKS of their patrol cars and NOT all officers. Do you people know how to read?
They will train special units of officers or first responders, should a shooting occur in a school within the compton city limits.
Lets not exaggerate the extent of the weaponry.

do you even know what a bullet button is??
