Neighboring City Police Chief Shot

picture #4 is epic.

i wasnt aware a town could have their police chief shot.  yayrah democracy.

Our town has a population of about 1100(I'm not missing a zero) and over the last 15 years we've had two murders, a shooting in which nobody was injured, two or three armed standoffs with state police SWAT, a stolen car ring busted with over 100 vehicles, and several particularly horrifying cases of child rape. We also seem to have a lot of suicides and the occasional murder victim from another town dumped in the woods. Four years ago a state police copter chased an armed suicidal kid through my backyard. Those spotlights are bright. Someone else stumbled into a pot field and detonated a shotgun/mousetrap landmine, nobody was injured. If anything really bad is going down, our chief just calls the state cops.

The last murderer came to a particularly nasty end. He stabbed his estranged wife to death with a screwdriver, the went to the state forest to kill himself. He drank Draino then hung himself from a tree at the top of a gorge. The rope broke, he broke both of his legs and back, then vomited up the Draino and died of exposure after several days. The animals had done a number on him when they found him. That's some bad Karma. There has also been some suspicion that people knew he was there. Welcome to small-town America. Bad stuff happens everywhere, small towns just make the news less.

Well they ended up finding the shooter less than a mile away from his home.  A business owner called the authorities and offered to have his building searched and it turned out the shooter was hiding out in a pickup.

The Chief on the other hand has undergone another surgery to stop internal bleeding.  They haven't been able to remove the bullet.

I guess we'll have to export some murders to your Canadian utopia next year.  Where do you live again?

Cracked me up....^^^


...and as for the murder rate in Canada....lots of murders happen, just nobody notices them because they just think they died of natural causes waiting for free healthcare.

It says on the Winnipeg website that they have 4.9 murders per 100,000 population per year and a population of 656,000....so that is roughly 29 murders per year.

I chose Winnipeg because they had the highest in Canada...still pretty darn low compared to any city of similar size in the U.S.

LOL.  I love the "Buy this photo" link under all the pictures in the gallery of the story.
