Check out this news alert from the Portland Police Bureau about some sad-sack bicyclist on North Vancouver who almost got hit with paintballs.
And, yes, someone in the office, WHOM I SHALL NOT NAME, actually said “good.”
That is all.
This afternoon, Tuesday February 26, 2013, at 4:05 p.m., Portland Police officers assigned to North Precinct responded to the report of a hit and run and drive-by paintball shooting of a bicyclist at North Vancouver Avenue and Skidmore Street.
Officers arrived in the area and contacted the victim, 36-year-old Ricardo Medina of Vancouver, who told police that he was riding his bicycle southbound on North Vancouver Avenue, just South of Skidmore Street when a vehicle pulled alongside him and the passenger fired several paintball shots at him. None of the shots him Mr. Medina and the vehicle turned off of Vancouver into the neighborhood.
The victim told police that the suspect vehicle came back around the block so he got off his bicycle and confronted them about the shooting. The victim told police that he was off his bike standing in front of the car, when the driver began to drive forward slowly pushing the victim backwards.
The driver then put the car in reverse, backed up to Skidmore Street, then sped away westbound on Skidmore.
The suspect vehicle is described as a light-colored newer Honda Civic 4-door. The suspects are described as possibly white males in their late teens or early 20s.
North Precinct officers are continuing the investigation and anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the non-emergency line at (503) 823-3333.
I am confused was that aforementioned person in the office saying good about someone almost being seriously injured? If so, that presumably extremely grumpy person should pull their head out of their ass. If I read that wrong I will proceed to remove my own head from my hindquarters.
It was Humphrey wasn’t it?
Someone’s been watching too many tough-guy movies, and needs a time-out.
NO IT WASN’T ME. God, you guys.
It was Sarah’s replacement, the evil anti-Smirk.
I wasn’t implying it was Steve. Who over there watches a lot of movies? HmMMMmmm.
Nega-Smirk would totally drive a Honda Civic.
Of course, it could’ve been one of the women. I’m not sexist. Also, Denis, don’t be a tattle-tale. No cookies for anyone tomorrow.
why is the cyclist a ‘sad sack’?
and why the fuck didn’t he get a license plate #?!?!?!
Does Blabby work for The Mercury?
“…white males in their late teens or early 20s.”
NO FUCKING WAY.
This clearly shows that we’re not teaching the youth of today proper marksmanship.
