| 5YO Fla. girl finds parents shot in bedroom |
| 2005-03-30 |
| Edited for brevity. A 5-year-old girl called 911 on Monday after waking to gunshots and finding her dead mother and dying father in bed. Police say a gunman seeking revenge for drug charges snuck into the family's Florida home and opened fire; he then killed himself in his home later that day. There's no shortage of drug violence, of course, but here's the kicker: Authorities said David Edward Johnson targeted the couple after being arrested for possession of marijuana and steroids; he thought the couple had turned him in. The couple apparently feared the suspect and tried to get a court-ordered injunction to keep him away from their family. However, a judge denied the request on account that there was not enough evidence to support the stalking charge. Is there enough evidence now, asshat? The judge, in denying the case, said "no violence was alleged and it was hard to prove stalking with the allegations" presented, according to court papers. "Looking back on it, I would have liked to have done it differently," Circuit Judge Richard Graham said. "But you review each case on a case-by-case basis." These Florida judges are doing great work this month helping innocent people die... |

| #11 Right-o, Frank. The **chukk-chukk** of the pump action of loading of a cartridge in the chamber will put the fear of G-d into most people looking at the business end of a shotgun. |

| #10 I recommend a Winchester Defender 12 Ga with pistol grip and 18" barrel - holds 8 shells. You won't need them all. Mossberg makes a nice similar model |

| #9 Restraining orders aren't worth a damn. Get a good security system and a concealed carry permit. A 12-gauge at home (up on hooks, out of the kid's reach) might have helped. |

| #2 I think they'd have better luck if they abolished the Florida courts and replaced them with roulette wheels. |
