What I gathered from the article is two men tried to summon help because of an automobile accident. They couldn't because they had no cell service so they decided to go to the nearest house for help and were shot (one fatally) walking up a driveway. Am I missing something

Nope that sums it up.

Some people are just too dumb/lazy to read.

Here's on from North Carolina where a black man shot a little white girl and her father because she went onto his property to retrieve her basketball.

Investigators allege that Franklin, 33, shot at Cauthen and the driver “without warning” as they “approached the driveway” of the nearby home. The driver was also armed and returned fire, injuring Franklin, according to WRBL.



What the actual frick? He shot them before they even made it on to his property?

Out on a very short limb, but that area is rural as hell. I bet the guy hunts on his property and thought they were poaching his deer.

Obviously not a license to kill anyone, but I honestly can't think of what else could have made him want to shoot them before they even made it to the driveway.

He'll get the death penalty. And we still use the execution chamber here.

Way back in my stupid wild days, I wrecked a vehicle on the country road we lived on. It was around 1:00 AM or so. This was way before cell phones. I walked to the closest house and knocked on the door. Old man opened up the door with a shotgun in my face. Scared the shite out of me. Luckily he was an ask questions first kinda guy. I pointed to my wrecked car and the blood dripping from my hand, and he let me in and use his phone.

Probably the local meth dealer behind on his payments to suppliers.

That's reasonable. Be suspicious. All this guy had to do was tell them to keep their distance and make the calls for them. Instead he played out whatever Mad Max fantasy was living rent free in his head.

False. Both sites are almost female only with a few cucks sprinkled about.

That makes more sense, thanks. I guess I was reading that as gun shot victims, and wasn’t thinking Franklin. But it just says people. So you’re right.

Shooter was probably one of those “trespassers will be shot types” what a fricking moron.


Probably had a meth cook in his trailer and didn’t want no visitors.
