Cheetah?

Also, finger off the trigger, dude.

At least he wasnt able to shoot any Brothers in Blue. Maybe in jail he can study some gun safety.

He grew up watching too much TV. I bet he makes a poster of that pic and hangs it proudly in his prison-cell.

[bpet]

Doesn't he know that cigarette could kill him?

I lived in Normal for a couple of years. Doesn't this guy look a little old to be robbing convenience stores? Maybe he just never learned.

The cig is classic.

Nice to see photo's taken that can help justify the shooting, instead those that are usually taken to bust the LEO's

He wont be studying anything in jail, he is taking a dirt nap......

Is it just me, or does that guy in the picture look like our "Longtooth"?

Has anybody seen Longtooth lately?






I'm sorry LT! I was bored and feeling a little froggy today.
Your friend, OE

He's got the Denim thing down. but if it were LT, he'd be sportin' a 1911!

[Jeremae]

And you would never see LT with his finger on trigger as he jumped a barrier unless he was actually firing at a target.

Bloomington - Normal.....My hometown. I grew up there, and graduated from Illinois State University which is near where this happened.

I guess he didn't know that it is illegal to have a loaded gun in his car and on his person in Illinois? Fortunately, the law abiding citizens in the immediate area were not confronted by this nutball, because they can't carry to protect themselves.

Just another reason I live in Texas!!

Not only that, but the wrong part of his finger is on the trigger.
