A roommate was killed over a pork chop dispute in Holly Hill, Florida Tuesday night.Good thing so few gun owners drink and have problems with conflict resolution.
The fatal disagreement came soon after Robert Eugene Gray, Jr., 35, arrived home drunk. He and Thomas Matthew Hahn, 55, argued over how to prepare the pork chop meal and it turned to violence.
Hahn used a .22-caliber Ruger rifle to settle the issue with one of his three roommates.
"This appears to be a senseless act of violence stemming from a minor domestic dispute between roommates," said police Chief Mark Barker." There is no clear answer at this hour as to why [he] acted with such extreme violence."
By the way, does he remind you of anyone?
What's your opinion? Please leave a comment.

ReplyDeleteSorry, pal, but if this ain't a "Stand your ground" gift from heaven to some attorney I don't know what is.
The shootee comes in the house and starts making demands on the poor, old guy and tellin' him-- who's prolly cooked a couple hundred swine's worth of pork chops--how to "git 'er done". Hey I'da busted a cap in his ass, too.
What I can't understand is why he used something as puny as a .22 cal. Ruger. Everybody knows that a .22 is just a "plinkin'" round; Mr. Hahn was takin' one hell of a chance. That other guy, young, prolly pretty tough, he coulda killed him with a kitchen knife, or, maybe run outside and jump in his car, a lethal weapon in its own right.
Oh, btw, thanks for the link to the Terry Jones piece. I see that your two gunzlooniest commentors are as clueless about what an asshat Jones is.
I particularly liked this:
"Lots of Christians over the centuries have hated those who didn't hold their beliefs. We can deplore that as outsiders, but the religion has the right to define itself. Jones, as disgusting as he is, has been consistent in his positions."
See, Greggie, thing is, "christian" means follower of Christ. Now, YHWH? He was a major league smiter. You fucked with him, he fucked back--and you stayed fucked, yowsuh! JESUS, otoh, you slapped him? you think he'd be reachin' for his "terrible. swift sword"? Hell, no, he wouldn't. He'd be all about accomodatin' the goblins. Why look what he said when they crucified him, "Forgive them father, for they know not what they do.". Nah, Jones and his people don't take their cues from no pussyJESUS; oh, no, they're into the OTSmiter, big time.
What's really funny is that fundies like Jones and his ilk are heavy duty bleevers in the OT, same as the jews--wonder if they all still eat shellfish and wear cotton/poly shirts?
"There is no clear answer at this hour as to why [he] acted with such extreme violence."
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's because he had access to a handgun?
Although, as Demo pointed out, that round is waaayyyy too small for serious damage. Sure, the .22LR round has a higher velocity than a .32, but if it ain't a nine or above. A 10 is whatcha really want to drop someone.
Naw, this wasn't extreme violence--just mere annoyance.
Well laci if u actually read it closely he used a .22 rifle not a handgun and demo any bullet can be deadly
ReplyDeleteYeah, Laci, he used a RIFLE, so there!
DeleteThat would be because he didn't have a handgun is my guess.
I wonder if that pork chop was already sliced off or if it was like a whole sirloin roast. I mean, I amember that I seen a movie, oncet, where the murder weapon was a frozen leg of lamb. Why aren't legs of lamb regulated?--that's what I want to know.
That was an episode of the Alfred Hitchcock Hour. The wife kills her husband, then cooks the murder weapon, and serves it to the investigating officers.
DeleteI knew I'd see Democommie in an orange jumpsuit someday.

Dear Orloon:
ReplyDeleteNot on a weapons or violent assault charge, fuckface--that would more likely be you.
Yeah, that's what he said.
Deletebtw, have you looked in the mirror?

It's so much fun to come to a conversation and find that one of the participants has worked himself into a lather with my name in it, and I wasn't even around to have got him going.
ReplyDeleteActually, given the man's appearance and actions, I'd say he brings Democommie to mind.
"It's so much fun to come to a conversation and find that one of the participants has worked himself into a lather with my name in it, and I wasn't even around to have got him going."
ReplyDeleteWell, you're here now, purrfessur. 'Sides, whenever I see a post like this I know you'll be by fairly soon (and likely one of, if not THE, first gunzloon on the thread).
You keep saying that I'm full of rage and working myself into a lather, what a silly, silly man you are. I'm smiling a little as I type this. I realize that you and your vigilante palz are all fearsome gunzslingerz and I'm not. Otoh, I don't have to worry about forgetting that I have gunz in my pocketz when I go downtown to re-new my drivers license or want to board an aircraft. It just makes life a little easier when you're not a paranoid fool who thinks that gunz are the answer to all of life's little problems.
"Actually, given the man's appearance and actions, I'd say he brings Democommie to mind."
Aw,Greggie, I think that's sweet!
Unfortunately, when I see a picture of you in your silly hat, with your gunz stuck in your belt it doesn't make me think of Wild Bill Hickok. It makes me think of the kids I see playing cowboys and displaced native americans in the neighborhood. They think that they can handle any threat that comes along and have just about as much justification for their childish views as you have for yours.
Well demo its called cowboys and indians and if that offends anyone to bad and who cares what kind of gun he used either way its a shame about what happened
DeleteSo, according to you, Democommie, you're sane, and I'm paranoid, crazy, childish, irrational, and dangerous? I offer your comments and mine over the last more than a year as evidence to answer this question.
Delete"I offer your comments and mine over the last more than a year as evidence to answer this question."
ReplyDeleteDo you, by any chance, know Clarice Starling? Hannibal Lecter was, per the author of the book, was suave, urbane, witty and in total control--except when he committed some pretty gruesome murders. Oh, but that was fantasy, as is the life that seem to live in, the one where teh gunz solve problems.
Y'know what they always say when the deranged murderer is apprehended, "Nobody knew; he seemed like such a normal guy.". Otoh, they usually wind up chasing a wild goose or six in the form of eccentric characters that are disliked by the "establishment" bozos. I'm very comfortable in my own skin, Greggie; to the point where I don't have to play dress up or carry a gun.
So your evidence that you're right is a movie and the sanity of my comments? Well, all right, then. Thanks for conceding my point.
