Polite Society Report

Fortunately this brave homeowner had a shotgun when this atrocity happened.
A Reno man accused of shooting a golfer who broke a window at his home with an errant ball has pleaded guilty to a felony charge.

[...]

The golfer was unable to find his ball and was doing a drop shot on the 16th hole of the LakeRidge Golf Course in September 2012 when Fleming approached and fired a single shot at him with a shotgun, prosecutors said.

The golfer was treated for minor injuries to an arm and both legs at a hospital.
Well he got just what he deserved! Some nerve, hitting someone's on-course house w/ a golf ball. We don't think a shotgun blast is retaliatory overkill. What of Mr. Lousy Shot's property rights?

Seriously though, attempted murderer
Fleming, 53, has expressed remorse and shock over his reaction to the broken window, Neahusan said, adding he apparently has no felony criminal record.

“I’m not sure what was going on, but from what I’ve read and heard, it definitely sounds out of character,” the prosecutor said.

In return for Fleming’s guilty plea, prosecutors agreed to drop an assault with a deadly weapon charge and to go along with the Division of Parole and Probation’s recommended sentence for him.
Sadly, not real news: Another law-abiding citizen (Law-abiding = Hasn't been caught yet.) w/ access to a weapon has a fit for no discernible reason & uses the weapon for no discernible reason. Look at this fuck:
Jeff Fleming/Washoe County Sheriff's Office
Do we need a battery of psychiatric tests to tell us this vicious would-be mad-dog killer/law-abiding citizen probably shouldn't have a drivers license, let alone guns or sharp objects?

He's as good a shooter as the other guy was a golfer.

The real American scandal is incompetence.

Hmmm. Golf - as I understand it from the land of not-golf - is a game where a small object is propelled at high velocities at a small target at great distance.

Clearly, in the golf context, the shotgun was the wrong 'club'. The equivalent of a sandwich, or whatever that thing is that is analogous to the bridge in pool.

What he needed was his Driver - a Remington 700 in .300 Win Mag with a 14x scope. BAM! Flemming in one!

What a hothead. Should've just followed the perp home & shot out one of his windows.
