Free In Idaho!

I suppose he was supposed to stay down and give the guy what he wanted?

An elderly man beaten unconscious by an assailant wielding a soda can awoke and shot the man during an attempted robbery, police said.

Willie Lee Hill, 93, told police he saw the robber while in his bedroom Wednesday night. Hill confronted the man and was struck at least 50 times, police said. He was knocked unconscious.

Covered in blood, Hill regained consciousness a short time later and pulled a .38-caliber handgun on his attacker. The suspect, Douglas B. Williams Jr., saw the gun and charged the man, who fired a bullet that struck Williams in the throat, police said.

On second thought, that is precisely what he did.

“I got what I deserved,” Williams, 24, told police when they arrived, officers said. Investigators reported finding, among other items, a Craftsman drill bit set, three pocket knives and two hearing aids inside his pockets.

The thing that bothers me the most about this story is that the goblin is only going to be charged with burglary, theft, and “second degree battery”… a 24 year old man beating a 93 year old man unconscious is only “second degree battery”? Alright, then, I say that Willie was only getting “sighted in”. I think when he and the punk get out of hospital, we oughta let him take his shot for the score… eh?  Good job though Willie!

I’ve been to Springfield this morning… you can go too.  Get Simpsonized!

The next time you hear or read about “the Religion of Peace” being so tolerant of other religions, and how there is even a connection with “people of the Book” (Jews and Christians), I would ask you to remember this story from the Washington Times (hat tip Dhimmi Watch)

Iraq’s outnumbered Christians and other religious minority groups are targets of a terror campaign and are facing a dire situation where killings and rapes have become the norm, a panel of witnesses testified yesterday on Capitol Hill.
 

In a hearing convened by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, Canon Andrew White, vicar of St. George’s Anglican Church in Baghdad, and four other panelists unfolded tales of horrors overtaking Christians, Yezidis (angel worshippers) and Mandaeans, members of a pacifist faith that follows the teachings of John the Baptist.
 

“The situation is more than desperate,” said Mr. White, who described how Christians in Baghdad have been told to convert to Islam or be killed. Hundreds of those who could not afford to flee the country are living in churches without adequate food or water, he said.

Lest you think this is simply a problem in Iraq, remember the Malaysia article link I put in this previous post. The problem is not an Iraq war problem, it is an ISLAM problem, despite what some in our MSM and government might think

“The State Department just dismisses this as part of an overall conflict,” he said. “But Christians are being disproportionately targeted. The attacks are purely vindictive and vicious. They are meant to give a message.”

This is not a tolerant and peaceful religion

Pascale Warda, president of the Iraqi Women’s Center in Baghdad, said more than 30 churches have been destroyed; priests have been fatally shot, kidnapped and beheaded; a 14-year-old boy was crucified in Basra; and Baghdad’s once-famous Christian neighborhoods have been emptied of thousands of residents.

“That’s because of fatwas issued by Islamic fundamentalists who give them three choices,” she said. “Convert to Islam, pay the jizya [a tax imposed on non-Muslims] or leave with no personal possessions.”

You don’t need to be an “Islamic fundamentalist” in order to understand the plain meaning of the Koran in Sura 9:29

Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Apostle, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

Pay attention. Don’t be fooled by what you wish they taught… “you will know them by their fruits”.
