Fun with Guns: South Texas Edition
There’s some good hunting in South Texas. When Bubba and I first started dating, my Uncle Everett said it was okay for me to date him but I couldn’t marry him because they went hunting together and Bubba shot a stump. A tree stump. While sitting in a deer blind.
That happens occasionally, especially when large amounts of alcohol are involved and knowing Bubba back then, oh yeah. So I asked Uncle Everett why that would eliminate marrying-material since it does happen more often than you’d suspect. But Bubba shot it twice. “Once, I can see,” Uncle Everett explained, “but when I asked him why he shot it twice, he said he thought the sumbitch got up and tried to run away.”
We made him stick to fishing after that.
The reason I tell you this story because you need to know that some crazy crap happens hunting in South Texas.
Michael Bryant and Walker Daughetry are south Texas hunting guides. They took one of their clients, Edwin Roberts, on a hunting expedition last month.
On Jan. 6th, a deputy with the Presidio County Sheriff’s Office responded to a shooting at the Circle Dug Ranch.
When he arrived on scene, he found Daughetry and their client Edwin Roberts with gunshot wounds.
Both Daughetry and his fiancee claimed to have seen illegal immigrants from Mexico on the property before, and believe the shooters came from across the border.
So one of the guides and a client were shot – probably by Mexicans from across the border.
Their story made headlines across the country, a hunting guide and his client shot by illegal immigrants in the middle of the night.
The alleged attack captivated thousands of people after a family friend setup a GoFundMe account stating that Walker and his group were involved in a shoot out with some illegals that were trying to steal his RV with his clients still inside of it.
The account is to help pay for Walker’s medical bills since he is uninsured and has already raised over $23,000.
The police investigated the event and discovered …
According to Sheriff Dominguez, an investigation into the shooting showed that Daughetry shot Roberts and that Bryant had shot Daughetry.
It’s a circle shoot. And they tried to blame roaring stupidity on invisible invaders.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
Right. And these are the manly-men, gun-toting, law-abiding, avowed-Christian, personal responsibility types, too!
Lessee:
1: Lying to police.
2: Blaming innocent people.
3: Creating GoFundMe page under false pretenses.
Why do I get the feeling they voted for #45, too? And people wonder how he got elected. Well, take a good, hard look at the scum who voted for him.
1OH! And happy Presidents Day everybody. 44 so far.
(No, I didn’t miscount!)
2Uhhhhh. Not to subtract anything from South Texas’ well deserved reputation, but Presidio County is in Far West Texas —
3think Big Bend country — not South Texas.
You’re right, George. My bad. I got to thinking about Bubba in South Texas and my mind couldn’t make the jump over to the Big Bend.
4In that picture, why does that dead ram look like the the most intelligent being present?
5“When those Mexicans first appeared Sheriff, there was an ice cold look about them, so we thought it best to pop a few, but they just kept coming, dozens and dozens pouring in, unrelenting, down our throats…”
“You mean at your throats?”
“Yes sir, yes sir, that’s right, Sheriff. Now, as I was saying, those ice cold 12 oz. Mexicans come at us and when Edwin grabbed the last one… well that’s when all hell broke loose.”
6Alan,
You’re so right, the ram, the rocks, that yucca plant all have more smarts and integrity than those five whackjob cretins.
Too damn bad they survived that shootout at the ‘NotOK Corral and RV Clusterf*ck’.
If karma had been fully engaged, a stray round would have blown the propane tank(s) on the RV and sent them all to perdition, or maybe Mar-A-Pendejo.
BTW, a local teevee station (chan 12/KSAT) has been running promo spots heavily for an upcoming ‘news’ segment (for Tue): titled “Battlefield Fantasy”, available at a local(?) ranch/fantasy emporium. ‘News’, babee…
The promo (looks more like a sweetheart commercial) features local yahoos tooling around in a battle tank** (marked with a German WWII Balkenkreuz), firing various machine guns, and a flamethrower. YEEEHAAA
**(from a casual look, the tank appears to be a German Panzer IV, I guess I’ll freeze-frame or PVR the clip and look it up later)
I hope y’all are noticing the general media ‘hints’ coming in the form of subtle propaganda, softening up the populace in anticipation of the US’s next great expeditionary Crusade…errr…adventure, yeah, adventure.
7Are y’all ready?
We know damn well we can’t afford another Bushmire like Eyeraq.
But Pendejo in Chief is going to have to shore up his authoritarianess pretty quick, what better way than a nice little war or three?
If he doesn’t intentionally or accidentally do an ‘O’Reilly’ on the nukes: “Fock it! We’ll do it live!”. WTFN, eh?
Rick! Funny.
8So, did they shoot each other accidentally, or on purpose?
Either way, there’s fraud going on.
Doesn’t GoFundMe have a policy regarding scams?
9OK. I’m impressed. A circular firing squad. That sort of thing usually happens only on Capitol Hill.
10Ammosexuals usually lie about how they got shot or shot themselves. Although snacilbupeR “should” try a circular firing squad, it ain’t gonna happen. Let’s get the snacilbupeR in a narrow hallway, all the ones in the House and Senate, executive branch, all the courts and state legislators. We’ll line up half on each side facing the other line. Give then Uzis, flamethrowers, shoulder rockets, knives, bows and arrows, hand grenades, plastic explosives, brass knuckles, 12 gauge shotguns, 243 deer rifles, Kalisnikovs and Navy Colts pistols. Everything will be fully loaded and prepared. Then we’ll tell them, “GO!” and see if they can manage to hurt each other. I’m not taking any bets.
11Debbi: Some, if not many, of those buildings are rather attractive inside. I see no reason to mess em up because of the stoopids. We need a venue. Like Anerican Gladiator, y’know? We could stream that sucker and make some good coin. Hey now, off the bad politicos and balance the budget! Works for me.
12Debbo. Not Debbi. Sorry. I should just slow down and proof this stuff before I hit Submit.
13LOL. Those cretins are way beyond stupid. Ah the great hunters where men are men and sheep are scared. Say, I sure hope they have to return any money the scammed. But ten anyone who sends money to those morons deserves to be scammed.

15There’s a Sid Miller connection (yes, THAT Sid Miller, that renowned rural Texan and Ag Commissioner, he of the expensive shots in Oklahoma.)
ThinkProgress says he’s the one who first started the rumors rolling about illegal immigrants shooting poor innocent hunters.

Elizabeth Moon –
Yes! Chris Hayes reported this last night, but unfortunately I can’t find a clip online.
And the hat does come off. Hayes showed a clip of Ole Sid doing a pretty impressive flourish with it. Good to know that he’s good at something.
17Well, three cheers for Bryant; he shot the guy who shot the paying client.
See: Capitalism works!!!
And they needed the GoFundMe because the client wasn’t going to pay for the privilege of getting shot.
18That poor dead sheep has more brains than all of the “humans” in that photo, combined.
And Sid Miller is humiliating, even by Texas Republican standards.
