ORIGINAL: WickedsDesire We really gonna turn this into a gun debate thread - oh wait that was the story in the post wasn't it today less guns more guns Well at least they kept it civil Miracle the nutter who allegedly 50-100 rounds didn't kill anyone. Only nutters would give nutters like this guns Hodgkinson's criminal record in St Clair County, Illinois, shows many traffic violations, and a call made to police in March of this year complaining that Hodgkinson shot 50 rounds in a wooded area too close to residential homes. The police report says Hodgkinson had a valid licence for the hunting rifle and was released. He was charged with multiple counts of domestic battery and aggravated discharge of a firearm in 2006, though those charges were dismissed. According to court documents, the 2006 altercation took place after Hodgkinson tried to retrieve a 16-year-old girl believed to be his daughter from her friend's house. The responding officer wrote in his report that the girl said Hodgkinson dragged her by her hair and beat her. He then allegedly sliced into her seatbelt with a pocket knife and choked her as she tried to drive away. The girl was a student who lived with Hodgkinson and his wife. He also allegedly shot at one of her friends with a 12-gauge shotgun and punched another 16-year-old girl in the face. According to local authorities, the 2006 charges against Hodgkinson were dropped after the victims failed to appear in court. Yup...just the kind of guy who needs a gun to protect himself and his "family" from all the violent criminals out there.... Punched a 16 year old in the face...and didn't go to jail for it cause the victim didn't show up? Wow.... Lucky bastard, Or maybe unlucky if he'd done some time in the cross bar hotel,then maybe he'd lose his ability to keep a fire arm,and then he wouldn't be worm food right now..... So this happened because he was a violent person, and the law wasn't enforced. The gun didn't make him do anything. One of the doctors said it was like being back in Iraq except that he wasn't allowed to have a gun and shoot back.
