Riverside County, California.

A big tough guy who wanted to show little girls that this is still America, pulled a gun on a Girl Scout selling cookie at his front door.

A press release from the Riverside County Sheriff-Coroner’s office that the father of the girl, who is a minor, contacted authorities after he saw 59-year-old John Dodrill point the gun at his daughter while she was selling cookies door-to-door on Sunday.

“When the victim knocked on the suspect’s door, he opened the door and pointed a gun at her,” the release said.

I’m trying to think of the appropriate punishment for this but everything I can think of involves Medieval instruments and I think that’s against the law in California.

I will tell you this.  Had that happened with my daddy, they’d be calling 59-year-old John Dodrill “Limpin’ John” for the rest of his life.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
