[Inquisitor] According to Pearl River County authorities, a gun shop owner and his 17-year-old son were shot and killed in a shootout on Saturday afternoon with two customers -- another man and his 29-year-old son -- over a $25 service charge.
The two customers were hospitalized after being injured in the shooting that occurred at a gun store in Pearl River County's Henleyfield community, according to local authorities.
Pearl River County Sheriff David Allison told WLOX that Jason McLemore, 44, owner of McLemore Gun Shop in Pearl County, Mississippi, and his son Jacob McLemore, 17, were shot and killed on Saturday afternoon following a dispute with two customers, Andy McCool, 52, and his son Michael McCool, 29, over a $25 fee for repair of a gun.
Allison said that McLemore's wife was at the store when Andy McCool and his son entered at about 3:15 p.m. to pick up a handgun that was in for repairs. The men reportedly became angry with McLemore's wife over a $25 service charge after they learned that the weapon had not been repaired.

It takes time (i.e. money) to take something apart to check a compliant and then reassemble it. It is not the tech's fault if the gun is operating as designed.

Willie McCool, pilot of space shuttle Columbia comes to mind. Probably not related, I suppose.
[Chicago Tribune] Three men are facing gun charges after a shootout erupted in a busy Gurnee intersection Thursday afternoon, police said.
All three men charged were in the same vehicle. The shooter from a second vehicle was not charged because he had a concealed carry permit, police said.
William Meyer, deputy chief of the Gurnee Police Department, said both vehicles were traveling west on Washington Street when "the guns came out" at Greenleaf Street shortly after 1 p.m.
"It's hard to say exactly what happened. No one really wanted to say," Meyer said.
Nobody else was in the vehicles, according to Meyer, who said "there doesn't appear to be any connection" between the gunnies on either side of the shootout.
Police only recovered two guns, but Meyer said all three men were charged with the same crimes because they were involved in the same shooting, even if they had different roles.
Hector C. Arroyo, 36, Alvaro Ruiz, 28, and Ramon Corona, 23, all of Waukegan, have been charged with aggravated discharge of a firearm, unlawful use of a weapon as a felon, unlawful use of a weapon as a gang member, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon with no FOID, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon with no concealed carry license, and mob action, police said.

I wonder if the felons were legal citizens, or awaiting the Obama pardon.

FOID =Firearm Owner Identification Card, one if Illinois onerous control mechanisms whereby you submit a passport style photo to the State Police one they return to you a card using the photo on your drivers license... WTF happens to the photo submitted? ...my guess stored in a special facial recognition data base of extreamists exercising second ammemdment rights. And we can all see from Chicagos toe tag count just how effective it is.
[Chicago Tribune] East reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,... City Councilman Robert Battle took the oath of office Friday from behind bars at the Porter County Jail. So we have a precedent for Hillary...
Battle was reelected to his council seat in November, one month after murder and drug charges were filed by the federal government..
Sheriff David Reynolds confirmed Saturday that an unnamed official was brought in to do the swearing-in for Battle, who is being held in federal custody at the Porter County facility.
"There is no reason for me to deny it legally," Reynolds said, adding he spoke to the U.S. marshal, who agreed. Battle could have chosen to be sworn in via video conferencing but opted for an in-person oath, Reynolds said..
Indiana law permits Battle to hold his seat -- and collect the $42,365 salary that it pays -- until he resigns, admits his guilt on any of the charges or is found guilty in court. Battle, a Democrat, ran unopposed in November and received 308 votes.
Michelle Fajman, director of Lake County's election board, confirmed Saturday that her office received Battle's paperwork Friday. Newly elected officials whose terms start Jan. 1 have until Jan. 30 to be sworn into office.

So that was 6 Ward Heelers ACORN workers, 50 dead people apiece and two actual living voters? Still would have won by 2 votes if there was no competition.
[Iran Press TV] A massive manhunt to detain an accused murderer and two other Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, prisoners who broke out on Friday has entered its third day.
Hossein Nayeri, 37, Jonathan Tieu, 20, and Bac Duong, 43, beat feet from the Orange County jail and were last spotted early Friday morning, Sheriff Sandra Hutchens said in a statement Sunday, Rooters reported.
"The three escapees ... are dangerous criminals," she warned.
To make their way out, the trio designed a master plan to cut through steel bars, climb through a plumbing tunnel and then lower themselves down four stories using bed sheets, according to the Orange County Register.
Authorities said they had yet to ascertain whether the prisoners had any outside help in making their escape, the newspaper said.
"All indications are that the inmates escaped the jail and have fled the area," the sheriff's department said in a Friday statement.
Nayeri is accused of kidnapping and torturing a marijuana dispensary owner with three other accomplices, the Register said. Prior to the escape, he was being held in the jail without bail since September 2014.
Tieu were tossed into the calaboose at the facility since October 2013, charged with a gang-related murder.
Duong is charged with attempted murder and was being held at the jail without bail since last month.

Hossein Nayeri, cut off the penis of a man who owned a marijuana dispensary and drove off with the penis so it couldn’t be reattached!

Slereper Speaking for Boskone1015 nailed it. Using his statement as the search tem, google turned up this useful round-up of facts about our three seriously unloveable miscreants. (link)
[BARSTOOLSPORTS] The woman has been identified as 30-year-old Dr. Anjali Ramkissoon, a fourth-year neurology resident employed by Jackson Health System. aka Doctor Dipsy Doodle...
A post from the hospital citing Ramkissoon’s excellent levels of care for epilepsy patients has since been deleted. Oh, really? It turned out not to be excellent?
On review sites like Healthgrades.com and Vitals.com, listings for Ramkissoon as a doctor have been flooded with one-star reviews. But only since she turned into a harridan when she got drunk and disorderly?
Ramkissoon’s Facebook, Linkedin and Instagram accounts have also all been taken down in response to the backlash. So she can't go to Facebook and post something like "Jeezus Gawd, I was so sloshed I acted like a complete fooking idiot and I'm humiliated to the tips of my overpainted toe nails. I never want to show my face in public again but I gotta because I'm a neurologist in real life and the world needs neurologists and I'm a lot better at that than drinking."
Her employer Jackson Health System has also just released the following statement: "Ahem!Harrumph! Harrumph!"
“Anjali Ramkissoon, a fourth-year neurology resident employed by Jackson Health System, has been placed on administrative leave, effective immediately, and removed from all clinical duties. Afraid she's gonna show up drunk, are you? Does she do that often?
Jackson has launched an internal investigation. That sounds like it should involve barium...
The outcome of the investigation will determine if any disciplinary action will be taken, up to and including termination.” My guess is that it will, unless short attention span syndrome cuts in, which in the case of an obscure bottom of the totem pole Bitch M.D. it likely won't.
I’m not saying she deserved what was inevitably coming to her. I suppose giving an institution a bad name is a reason to fire a person, which was why Bill Clinton was forced from office... Oh. Wait. Never mind.
She’s a cunt, plain and simple. Fixed smile, next thing to an asshole...
She needs some sort of slap on the tits to get her back to reality. You'd think by her fourth year of residency she'd have spit out the pacifier and stopped having temper tantrums on the floor of Walmart.
However, does anybody else think ruining her entire life may be just a tad too much? People like Doctor Hootchie have their public temper tantrums because they're convinced they're ever so important, much more important than common folk like, say, Uber drivers.
Internet justice is RUTHLESS. It’s like the lynch mobs of the ol’ west. There is absolutely no mercy taken until somebody is hung from the gallows and shits their britches. The fact is, the child was bright enough to get into medical school, competent enough to make it through an internship, and a good enough resident to get written up for her work with epileptics. Other than the spoon in the mouth thing I have no idea what to do with a grand mal. I doubt most of the lynch mob does, too. Or either. I'm not sure which goes there.
Sure, she gets all the public shaming in the world for being such a bitch. When I was in grade school it woulda just been the pants pulled down on the playground. But judging from the Film at 11, she hadn't found somebody to pull her pants down, which was why she was grouchy.
But maybe think about not terminating her job as a potential neurosurgeon? There's a difference between the "gist" and the "surgeon," but the principle's the same: swatting a fly with a mallet.
I have zero idea if she’s a good brain person thingy, but what I do know is America could use all the best doctors we can get. Students tend to act stoopid like Doctor Hootchie did. Skilled medical professionals don't -- in public. It's kinda like the good old days, when the military had officers' and NCO clubs. Officers could and did get puke-in-the-gutter drunk and goose each other's wives without doing so in front of the enlisted men. NCOs could get puke-in-the-gutter drunk and do stoopid things without feeling the hairy eyeball of Officerdom on them the next morning. Now they have Community Clubs, mingling everybody from Private Last Class to General, and departing from the straight and narrow is a career terminator.
If she is decent with the noggin’, maybe she shouldn’t lose the 8+ years she’s already put into Medical School. I know she can fall back on her looks, but the world has enough Hooters girls. Most of whom look alike... Not that I have a compelling need to stand up for my profession, but I think the world's reaction to Dr. Ramkissoon is just a little over the top. Her behavior was akin to a spectacular car wreck -- you know you shouldn't watch but you will. Dr. R. did a flaming pyro one-car into a concrete abutment, then a tree, then a lamppost, then a deer, then another abutment style wreck. You'd think she was a Ho'wood actress or something.
Ok, we all looked. Now what?
If we shit-canned every resident who at one single point in life acted like an asshole I wouldn't be a doctor today. Just saying.
So how about we let her make a dignified public apology and let her program director put her on quiet probation the rest of the way through her training? And stop looking. Unless she wrecks again.

Agreed. Mob justice is just as ugly as anything Doc Rami did.

Universities need to set up a course geared towards learning what kind of drunk you are. Give parties and film people under different levels of inebriation so folks know if they become total jerks, sluts, wanna fight everybody, or just smile and dance badly.
Once you know that you should be able to avoid incidents like Dr Hoochie's and if you do stumble into filmed drunken rant you deserve the outcome.
Having said that she's indian and thus a semi-protected class. They'll put her on leave or whatever until the heat is off and then put her back on duty with a warning.

Remember your talking points, people:
If it's cold, it's just weather.
If it's hot, it's climate change.

IIRC Guam + CNMI are located widin the Tropic of Cancer, but its been b-r-r-r cold as heck since Saturday PM.
* "MINI-ICE AGE" = AKA WHAT I LIKE TO LABEL AS THE "GREAT ASIA-PACIFIC SLUSHY".
All the above being said, I still hold to my beliefs that the so-called "Mini-Ice Age" is just that, i.e. a "Mini-" or short-term interim period of cold or icy [sleet] weather widing the larger occurrence of Solar/Sun-led GWCC = slowly but steadily intensifying Solar heating up of the Earth + Planetary System to as yet unknown or highly subjective global temperature levels.
BURNS – Leaders of the armed protesters holding the national bird sanctuary on Tuesday plan to push their anti-government agenda in Grant County, whose sheriff recommends the government give in to two of their key demands.
Sheriff Glenn Palmer said in a statement to The Oregonian/OregonLive that "the government is going to have to concede something" to end the occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.
He said freeing a father-son ranching team from prison "would be a start. Sending the FBI home would be a start." He referred to the FBI's lead role in ending the refuge occupation.
"I just pray to God that cooler heads prevail and that no one gets killed," Palmer said.
The sheriff's endorsement of the militants' demands stunned law enforcement officials, most who would not publicly discuss the matter.

Besoeker, the drones haven't done anything for us but let Pakistan pretend they're cooperating with us in fighting the WoT and simultaneously pretend to their population that they have nothing to do with the dronezaps.
[Iran Press TV] Over 40,000 demonstrators in Moldova have taken to the streets demanding an early election.
The protesters braved the freezing cold winter in the capital Chisinau on Sunday to express their discontent with the government.
While the temperature was at -10 Celsius, people were seen holding placards with pictures that read, "Enough is enough" and were heard shouting; "We want the country back!" and "Unity, citizens!"
The rally was organized by several activist groups who were demanding that the government announce early election by January 28 or face acts of civil disobedience.
The demonstrators are angry about falling living standards that have left the average monthly salary at just 220 euros ($240). They blame pro-European political parties, in power since 2009, over failure to carry out reforms.

I'd like an early election, so we can get this sh1tst0rm over.
[Iran Press TV] Israeli former President Shimon Peres has been rushed to hospital for chest pains, a week after being treated for a heart attack.
Emergency medics went hurriedly to the 92-year-old's residence on Sunday night, when he reported that he was experiencing heart problems, Times of Israel online newspaper reported.
Iran PressTV monitors The Times of Israel??? This truly is an age of miracles!
According to his spokeswoman, Ayelet Frisch, paramedics performed electrocardiography on him at home and detected "light irregular heart rate", but decided that he should stay overnight at Sheba Medical Center outside Tel Aviv for more observation and testing.
Update from The Times of Israel at 9:40 a.m. ET: He's doing fine, The mild heart arrhythmia is stabilized, but they're keeping him at the hospital a bit longer just in case, and because Israel is sharing the winter storm sweeping the region, so roads are being closed.

Antonio Ereditato, spokesman for the international group of researchers, said that measurements taken over three years showed neutrinos pumped from CERN near Geneva to Gran Sasso in Italy had arrived 60 nanoseconds quicker than light would have done.
Neutrinos are smaller than photons, so naturally they have less friction. Honestly, the science is settled, guys.
"We have high confidence in our results. We have checked and rechecked for anything that could have distorted our measurements but we found nothing," he said. "We now want colleagues to check them independently."
If confirmed, the discovery would undermine Albert Einstein's 1905 theory of special relativity, which says that the speed of light is a "cosmic constant" and that nothing in the universe can travel faster.
That assertion, which has withstood over a century of testing, is one of the key elements of the so-called Standard Model of physics, which attempts to describe the way the universe and everything in it works.
The totally unexpected finding emerged from research by a physicists working on an experiment dubbed OPERA run jointly by the CERN particle research centre near Geneva and the Gran Sasso Laboratory in central Italy.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
