And nobody took this fool out! It's not like he will get the punishement he deserves in jail! I'm glad the officer is alive and hope for a speedy recovery.
Way back in the early 70's I spent some time with these folks and it was multi murder at Scott's Ferry. Well they were very good to all of us. They could have jailed us all. Well after serveral hours we were fed and sent on our way. A while later I was able to get my firearm back. Remember this was the very early 70's. A ole Hippy in SC
