Go to Hell

GODLEY, Texas (Reuters) -- An argument over who was going to heaven and who was going to hell ended with one Texas man shooting another to death with a shotgun, police said Monday.

The man charged in the slaying is a corrections officer.

Johnny Joslin, 20, was allegedly shot by Clayton Frank Stoker, 21, on Sunday. The two had spent Saturday night bar hopping with two other men in Fort Worth, about 40 miles (65 kilometers) northeast of Godley.

Johnson County Sheriff Bob Alford said a witness who was the designated driver for the group told police the four men were sitting at a table outside a trailer park after their night on the town and began arguing about religion.

The talk became heated when the subject turned to who would go to heaven and who would go to hell.

Stoker said he would settle the argument and went into a house and returned with a shotgun, which he loaded and placed in his mouth, Alford said the witness reported.

"The victim Joslin then took the gun out of Stoker's mouth, saying, 'If you have to shoot somebody, shoot me,"' Alford said, citing the witness report.

The shotgun went off, hitting Joslin in the chest and killing him.

Stoker, a Johnson County corrections officer, has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder, Alford said.

A neighborhood ice cream vendor was shot in the stomach Saturday afternoon by three children between the ages of 12 and 14 years old, Phoenix police said.
The vendor, who's in his mid-40s, was approached by the children near 41st Avenue and Monte Vista Road shortly after noon. One of the children aimed a handgun at the man and demanded his money, then shot him, police said.
The man's injuries weren't life threatening, said Sgt. Randy Force, a Phoenix police spokesman.
The suspects escaped without the money.

Not life threatening??

And just like that...he's gone

Something bizarre has occurred.

The husband of an online acquaintance has disappeared. Early Sunday afternoon she (Clawfoot) went out to get supplies. They were expecting company later that evening. Gus, the Big Mean Bunny (her husband) was to have done some cleaning and made other preparations. When she got back around 1:45 he was reading comic books and had not done a single thing. They had a little argument about it, with him being defensive. She went off to the bathroom or something. When she returned, he was gone.

I don't know if the evening happened as planned or not, but it is now 44 hours later and he still hasn't been seen or heard from by family or friends.

I'm sure this happens a fair bit, but it still seems pretty strange. Maybe he's being childish; maybe he's mentally ill. It must be tough for Clawfoot right now. We are all very concerned for her.
