As most know, I live in a very small village of about 12 streets and not much happens here. About 10 years ago a guy was parkes in front of his girlfriend's house around the corner and a little ways down from us. He was honking the horn and yelling at her and was obviously drunk as a skunk. He starts in on the fact that he's gonna' kill himself and whips out a .38 and starts swinging it around and takes a shot at her house! The small group of people who had gathered on the corner all split....me too!

About this time a sheriff turned the corner and the guy hops back into his car and roars off. For about the next 5 minutes they have this chase through town.....small streets, kids playing.....and the deputy keeps up the chase.....dumb. They wind up back in front of the girlfriend
s house and are now followed by LOTS of cars who are out to see the action! I mean there are pickups with assholes hauling their kids.........it was nuts! Down on my corner there are probably 200 people crowded around watching to see what happens next!

The Deputy gets out with gun drawn and the guy staggers out of his car and in reply to the Deputy makes aspersions as to his ancestry and suggests impossible sex acts. The Deputy keeps telling him to lie down and the guy, now about 20 feet from the Deputy, raises his gun......not to a firing position, just swinging it. This was enough and the Deputy gave him one more warning and when the guy kept coming, the Deputy fired......FOUR TIMES.....mainly because the first three shots missed and the fourth finally hit him in the knee. Luckily, no one was hit by the others! One hit a basement window, one a tree, and the other was never found....but you should have seen the crowd scatter! When it was over the crowd had grown to probably 300 and I had thoughts of selling hot dogs and lemonade from my front porch...............Gawd I love shitkickers and small towns.
