Deer shooter gets home detention, probation

Home detention, really? How punishing can this be for a 71 year old man. I'm going to assume he was also forced to wear beige velcro shoes and plaid shorts pulled up to his nipples??? |

| Spanky Friday, October 7, 2011: 3:52 pm More from Spanky | Reader, You're correct, I was being a smarta$$ and out of line. But, please note, I was more dis'ing the punishment than Shike's age. His being 71 was just a target too easy to pass up (the whole being 71 and grounded thing didn't set with me). 71 isn't too far from my reality. Now that we both agree his age isn't the issue...I bet you still chuckled a little, right? |

The city covered it with lime but couldn't remove it. Whether he is 71 or not is no excuse for getting mad and picking up a gun. I hope he doesn't have any guns left. The neighbors will never be able to let their guard down. |
