Or not run out to the car and come back with her gun in the first place.  That's escalating the confrontation.  Firing it indoors into the ceiling or wall makes it much worse. 

That said, 20 years seems a bit steep.

Florida's got a bit of a track record when it comes to whacked-out minimum sentences.

Ah, and of course, this particular gem seems to be a fun little tidbit called 10-20-Life.  Massively controversial and unpopular, at least according to the Internet spin on it.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10-20-Life

QuoteProsecutors win 99.5 percent of their cases in the United States, an unheard of figure in the democratic world (about 60 percent in Canada

Guess the Beebs just aren't very good at their job. :(
The Feds in 2010 had a 93 percent conviction rate

I imagine that the States had lower percentages, though that still seems worryingly high.  :hmm:

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Still not as good as Japan, I believe, but pretty close.

Dionne Warwick is now refusing to perform in Florida. Just FYI.

I'm sure you can get your money back on those tickets.  Face value only, though.  Not the inflated prices you paid that scalper.

That does it, I'm boycotting the Psychic Friends Network.  :mad:
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Jesse Jackson has declared Florida an "Apartheid state".  Wonder where the Bantustans will be & what they'll be called.

Charles Barkley agrees with the verdict even though he thinks Trayvon was racially profiled by Zim.

Bill Cosby says it's not about race, and is getting a lot of shit for it, but he should be used to that by now.

Florida already lost Whitney to the grave, they can't be deprived of Dionne too! That just leaves them with Cissy. :(

One of my co-workers visited a gun store a few days ago.  He said that while he was there they were doing a brisk business selling to African-Americans.  So at least some good came from all this.   :)
