And Another!

Just on the heels of yesterday's DGC addition is another, this one courtesy of reader Harvey:

Armed intruder shot to death in Greenacres home

— Sixteen-year-old Joseph Wagner awoke early Sunday to the screams of his father and a man he had never seen before in his life.

Seconds later, the sound of gunfire filled the house. The man, later identified as 19-year-old James Fritz, of West Palm Beach, was dead. Wagner's father, Joseph, was not.

Sarah Brady would have it the other way around. In her world, where no one needs a firearm, the elder Joseph Wagner would have faced a drunk and possibly high assailant armed with multiple knives armed with a telephone and a 911 operator. 1911 > 911 any day of the week, folks.

It's sad, really - the kid was probably on something that considerably altered his perception of reality and had no idea what he was doing. Doesn't mean that Joseph Wagner was not justified in ventilating him, of course; all Wagner knows is that some maniac has broken into his house and is charging him with two sharp knives.

Again, the song remains the same: Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Dead Goblin Count: 179

That is all.
