Responsible Gun Owner of the Day

Kills his father.

Runs off to Daytona Beach with his wife/girlfriend, carrying a massive arsenal of weapons including assault rifles.

When confronted by law enforcement, commits murder/suicide or "double suicide."

After several unsuccessful attempts to make contact with the occupants inside, police fired two cans of CS gas into the room and the robot entered the room about 10 a.m., police said.

Reddock and a woman, believed to be his wife, Samantha, were found dead in the hotel room, along with an arsenal of weapons, including four assault rifles, four handguns and ammunition, investigators said. She has not yet been positively identified.

"It was basically an armory," Capri said. "By the grace of God, we dodged a bullet today."

Capri said it appears they each took their own life.


But here's the best bit:

Domestic violence history of Joe Reddock Jr.

2000: Arrested for assaulting his father
2001: Father gets injunction against him that’s in effect for more than a year
2002: Arrested for violating the injunction; Reddock grabbed his father’s wrist after the father called 911 on him for making threats
2004: Arrested for assaulting father
2005: Father gets second temporary injunction
2010: Arrested for assaulting his mother, who told deputies Reddock was bipolar and depressed
2015: Father gets third temporary injunction
2015: Arrested for assaulting Samantha Reddock

NOTE: Most of these charges were dropped


Meanwhile, the right wing express their shock and dismay at a sit-in in the US Capitol.

Beam me up Scotty!

I called the electric utility after power came back on about 90 minutes later to find out if it was on for good so I could shut off the generator running my sump pump.

The guy on the line informed me that some "Responsible Gun Owner" shot out a transformer.
