Fun With Guns: Clowns With Guns Edition
People in Kentucky are very scared of clowns. You’d think they’d be more scared of their state legislature, but apparently they aren’t.
A man used his AR-15 to scare a woman wearing a white afghan Monday after mistaking her for clown, according to a citation from the Bardstown Police Department.
Wait a minute. Just wait one damn minute. It takes an AR-15 to fire a warning shot? What the hell does he have in reserved to scare zombies?
Oh, it gets better. It always does.
The man, Adam Tingle, said his wife was outside when she thought she saw a clown, so Tingle came out and yelled at the individual, according to the citation. The woman did not move after being yelled at, so Tingle fired one shot from his AR-15 rifle in an attempt to scare her. Tingle’s wife then called 911 to report the incident.
According to the citation, Tingle said he was scared for his family because of recent criminal activities involving clowns.
Okay, I’ve been doing a little research on how far an AR-15 round travels and the answer appears to be that if you aim it at an upward angle, it’ll go further than 400 yards. So, if we assume that’s about a 1/4 of a mile, in a residential neighborhood, with people all over the damn place, then he certainly succeeded in scaring people. However, if you shoot it straight up, you can puncture the moon and that’s not good.
The police took his rifle until his court date. Forever sound better to me.
Thanks to Ron S for the heads up.
Speaking of clowns, Kentucky Gov. Bevin, an alt-alt right guy, recently made a speech telling churches to go ahead and advocate for politicians, there would be no repercussions.
1I trust he will have to explain that to a judge, when he gets sued. Separation of church and state is a thing, even in Kentucky.
2Or does that apply only to the government? In which case, can Gov. Bevin actually choose to ignore churches which advocate for candidates? You’d think they would need the tax money, after that Ark fiasco.
3Ok. This is a bit off subject and nitpicky but I just want to know how a woman can wear an afghan. Either it is a dog or a crocheted/knitted blanket. I can’t imagine dragging a blanket behind me while trying to pick up what the dog has left behind.
4Once and newly former Cheap Justice of Aladamnbama’s Soopreme Court found out it is not nice to ignore federal courts. He was removed for the second and hopefully last time. Kaintuck’s goofy guv isn’t immune from the wrath of the feds.
5The Kentucky state legislature is made up of clowns, so it’s okay to be twice as scared of them as of Bozo the Clown.
Of course, the Kentucky state legislature is also made up of bozos.

Crazy Quilter – I think they meant Kaftan. It’s Kentucky, you know.
7Settle down, Adam. Help is on its way, albeit slowly as in not until Nov 9th. What you are suffering, common with those who see a clown behind every tree, is HID. HID or hallucinogenic image distortion. Suffering from too many images of Donnie Drumpf invading your psyche via the teevee machine, you now think you are seeing scary clown images everywhere. He’s not there, Adam. Really. He’s not there. Just ask Mike Pence.
8We should expect no less from an obvious Trump disciple.
9There was no clown.
There was no good guy with a gun.
There should be, but probably won’t be any charges. Instead of a well trained militia, all we got here is a squirrel brained gun nut.
10Or maybe she was walking her afghan hound.
11Problem with bullets is that they do come back down, unless maybe they hit a bird or an airplane.
Crazy Quilter: Either way I still don’t see a clown. Except in this case the clown was the one with the gun. Now see Kentucky? See what happens when you restrict or outlaw abortion? You get afterbirth with a gun. Happy now?
12Ann Coulter looks like an Afghan (hound) and I mean no offense to Afghan (hounds).
13Good ol KY. As I have said,— Best known for fast horse’s and slow Senator’s. Now add squirrel brained gun owner’s.
14So clowns in Kentucky wear white afghans?
Sounds more like like clowns in Kentucky carry AR-15s.
15You can get an AR-15 platform and these calibers-

Good hunting-mastadons, T-Rex. blue whales, etc.
16@Rick He was charged, court date October 18th
Wanton Endangerment II is a crime in KY: it is a Class A misdemeanor: up to 365 days in jail and/or a max. fine of up to $500.00, plus court costs of about $135.00.
17Ok, so this is off subject. There’s an A.P. story in today’s Houston Chronicle titled “Study puts limits on how long people can live”. I’d almost bet money that by Sunday Sarah Palin will be quoting it. Replacing the word “study” with the phrase “Obamacare Death Panel”.
18Almost forgot. It’s just a story about trends in mortality rates.
19P.P.: Yes… the story says the upper limit of human life is about 115. But… the curse would be Sarah Palin living that long!!
20Damn! they can’t tell the difference between Emmett Kelly and a woman wearing a long white dress? Whats the matter with those people! And at some point that damn bullet has to come down. I pray God it doesn’t hit anybody like a child or some one else wearing a white thingy those people can’t identify!
21One clown gets nominated and now they’re comin outta thw woodwork
22Bar the door, they’re comin’ through the windows!
23Bar the windows, they’re comin’ through the door!
Lordamercy, they’re comin’ down the chimney!
Holy crap, they’re comin’ through the floor!
Nah, epo. I’d say Coulter more closely resembles a blood hound or bassett hound.
24Jan, when you assume that the bullet will come down you are assuming that gravity exists. To Repubs gravity is just as much a liberal plot as climate change.
