You ARE going to save the windshield to hang on the wall aren't you? Not many have a souvenier of having been shot at by someone who brought a gun to a truck fight!

Mad,

Thats great that you were able to find some replacement pieces right away.

.........bringing a gun to a truck fight....I like it, nicely put. The laws of gross tonnages wins out again

Mad,

Aren't you the one about a year ago that had some tools like this break into your shop and one ended up kill himself trying to steal an outboard motor while the other one died trying to get out through the roof? If so, you really should give serious consideration to relocating my firend.

As far as this one goes, you are my hero of the week. Job well done. Regrding helping out, let us know if there is a part or two you can't find. I'm sure I'm not the only one that would be willing to keep an eye out for you. I am very happy to hear that you were not hurt.

Got any pictures of the wall??

No, criminals that prey on innocents are the scourge of the earth! Couldn't happen to a more deserving person.

I don't know, maybe its just me, but I find it sick that there are jokes about a dead guy. He wasn't just some scourge. He had some problems. We all do, he just had more, we all have strengths and weaknesses. I think its ok to talk about this, but not joke about it. This guy was a son, maybe a brother, maybe an uncle, maybe a husband, or even a father. I don't think its right to joke about his death.

I think killing the man was the right decision. I dont think that joking about it is.
