If your Gunrection lasts more than four hours you’re supposed to contact your local NRA representative.

Sounds like an X-File to me. Get Mulder and Scully on it, stat.
Generally, when a homeowner closes his door in my face, I let him. If I try to force my way in, I might get shot.

That’s based on the story of the one guy who survived the encounter, right?

“Police released McLeod after questioning and have not filed any charges.” It’s safe to say that they’re not gonna be charging him after this.

On the positive side, drail (one of shitkicker’s socks, I suppose?) should be happy with this life-for-a-life outcome.

If the guy was seriously drinking 24 Cokes a day while getting little sleep, it’s fairly remarkable he lasted as long as he did.

So saddened to hear this…oh, wait no!
Yeah. I somehow doubt this guy forced himself into the house innocently looking for Skittles. Sad about the owner dying, for whatever reason. That experience can’t have been good for his short-term peace of mind.

No doubt the homeowners blood pressure has been through the roof these past few days from the stress of what happened. High blood pressure and heart disease is a deadly combination. Tragic chain of events all the way around.

I’m so confused about all these sock puppets. I wish somebody had a list, a sort of comments field guide. And “shitburner” was EG, no?
Mr. McLeod was a strange man. I visited his museum 20 years ago at the invitation of McLeod’s son, whom my girlfriend and I met at the juke joint of the late, legendary Junior Kimbrough, which was not far from Holly Springs. McLeod claimed to be the “world’s #1 Elvis fan.”  I believe that. He named his son Elvis Aron Presley McLeod. McLeod père et fils turned their whole house, a faux colonial mansion, into a shrine to Elvis, the dead singer, not McLeod fils, though some believe the singer was the Son of God, but I digress.

Yes, it was one of his more accurate nicknames.
“Motherfucker” being the most accurate.

The Lord works in mysterious ways (karma to some).
He won’t be missed much.
Don’t know if you saw it or not – but McLeod’s lawyer actually posted some information on the incident last night here on TPM:

He was 70. Don’t know if he was on medication for high blood pressure and high blood sugar, but even if he was, no dosage could mitigate the damage that the daily load of sugar and caffeine of 24 Coca Colas does to an older, overweight body. Even without the added recent physical stress.
