Fun Shooting Filled Weekend?

shooting charlottesville

We’ve got two reports of shooting incidents for this weekend.  Stanley explains:

Gunshots; Bolling, between 6th and Avon. And a shit-ton of ‘em.

And, another question, from a new commenter,  Norbit:

Was there a shooting at Boylen Heights last night?

There were no police reports of shootings in today’s police bulletin.  I couldn’t find any reports in the “real” news.  Anyone have more details on either of these incidents?

    Didn’t Al Pacino play SCARFACE?
    Maybe if the bar were named Teletubby or Dustin Hoffman this wouldn’t have happened?

    What is the deal with public shootings—anyone know the legal penumbra to bystander action-on-the-spot?

    If you see someone shoot someone, and then shoot the shooter, are you locked-up as a shooter, or do you get lionized by the press and get the keys-to-the-city from the mayor and a free-pass on all future urinating-in-public and spitting-on-sidewalk tickets from the coppers?

    Thor, since you’re trolling this thread…any news on the Bolling St. shootout? Any suggestions on where to look (@7)

    so, thor – what the heck was the reference? I know someone named McGavin – I totally KNOW that wasn’t him, unless…. you know something I don’t?

    i think Thor may be referring to a saturday morning cartoon about Rain-Forest Superheroes who gather together their powers of Recycling, Windmills, Deepfat-Fryer Fuel, and Niceness to combat global evils of cow-expelled methane gas, republicans, 7-gallon flush toilets, and those plastic things that hold six-packs together that are always strangling raccoons and porpoises to death or deformity.

    McGavin is the token scotsman (who harnesses and controls the awesome powers of bog-grown sphagnum-moss and haggis) because any collective of heroes has to have a token guy with a funny cutesy accent (like we on Cvillain have poster X {CODE bars my saying}).

    um, because I think the McGavin I know probably had just such a fantasy…

    bp, no one cares if you’re talking to other people, unless it’s orchid and I, then shen gets mad, but that’s beside the point. They only get upset when you sit here and talk to yourself all night. Feel free to continue talking to Mr. dung as long as you’d like.

    I’ll be signing off soon anyhow, BP. But no worries here, as echo says.
    Shen is adrift in the arms of Sweet Lethe, or whomever one drifts in the sweet arms of.

    thanks for the advice, folks. I live my real life “latenight”. No regrets, no apologies. Ya’ll sleep tight. No need to respond to “late night blatherings”. What do you care if I am talking to myself all night. You’re not responsible for me, nor should you feel like you should respond if it’s after your bedtime. Totally ok with that. If you wake up and read something that pisses you off, feel free to let me know, but if I’m up typing and no one else is and no one else is there to care, and if you don’t happen to agree with whatever my late night blatherings produce, sorry. Peace, out.

    /sleeping on the couch tonight…love ya’ll
