today’s Lympians are really taking this gun stuff seriously

there aught-ta be a law

A man who allegedly called the Thurston County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, saying he had access to guns and was near the courthouse, will not be arrested.

The courthouse complex was locked down after the call Wednesday morning, and deputies swarmed the outdoor areas of the courthouse as a security measure. The lockdown lasted less than an hour.

Deputies tracked down the man and talked to him on the phone twice Wednesday, Sheriff’s Sgt. Ray Brady said. The man was upset about a case being handled by the Prosecutor’s Office, Brady said.

An investigation determined that the man’s call didn’t rise to the level of a crime…

    I plead “hyperbole,” your honor.
    Then I sentence you to be taken from this place, and thence to a place of execution where you shall be hanged by the neck until you are dead. That, son, is hyperbole. Sure, it’s a dangerous weakness in a judge, I’ll grant; buuut perhaps it’ll provide your stupid ass with some perspective. Next hangin’ case!

    I shudder to think of the sentence for a mixed metaphor.

    Now, if he had said he was near the courthouse and had access to an AR-15, they woulda scrambled at least two SWAT Teams!!!!!!

    “he had access to guns”

    Whatinhell does that mean?

    Anyone with sufficiency of energy and a deficiency of morals can get a gun anywhere, anytime.
