Would have been comical if he had shot himself in the foot.

Just out curiosity, how does one shoot oneself without bullets in the gun? I mean, isn’t taking bullets out kind-of encouraged before cleaning the gun? :confused2: It seems logical to me, anyway.

To find the answer to your question I think you need look no further than the title of this thread. :lol:

I was hoping that since he was with the DOJ, he was a (recent) import and not subject to the Wisconsin stupidity gene.

There are so many references to “hard”, “peak performance”, “jump”, and “gay”, I really wouldn’t know where to begin. Meat?!? Some things (like the origin of that name) are better left unknown.

Alvarez does have an alibi, now if he can convince the cheerleader to confirm he will be in the clear.

Just a question not an accusation of any kind…does Wisconsin have any male cheerleaders?

Yes. I can’t think of a Big 10 school that doesn’t have a coed squad.

Woman was lying in the street at 1 am (drunk?). She is hit by a car and killed. The driver flees the scene (drunk?). The woman’s adult son is driven to the hospital upon hearing the news and the driver hits 3 parked cars (arrested for drunken driving). The woman’s son also dies. My guess is that he was also drunk if he had a drunk person drive him to the hospital.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources isn’t too happy about the mysterious appearance of a Loch Ness monster poking its long neck out of the Chippewa River in Eau Claire.

The DNR wants the Loch Ness sculpture removed by the person who put it there because it’s an illegal obstruction to a navigable waterway. DNR spokesman Dan Baumann says the monster needs to be removed sooner rather than later because it’s a public safety concern.

A person claiming to be the creator emailed the Eau Claire Leader-Telegram and said the sculpture would be removed in the next 10 days.

The Menards home improvement chain is interested in acquiring the guerrilla art. The Eau Claire retailer says its retention ponds would be a good home for the Loch Ness monster.

The monster is not unlike one that has frequented the Minneapolis Chain of Lakes over the past few years. The 13-foot public work of art first appeared in Lake Harriet in July of 2009, and made appearances at Lake of the Isles as well.

Can’t figure if someone was just fooling around and accidentally shot her or actually targeted her. Either way, just more proof that some people shouldn’t handle sharp objects.

No, usually only if it’s something about a hot chick. :wink:

In all honesty, it’s actually not all that different from comment sections I see from other websites like YouTube or public Facebook pages.

Scott Walker accused by Democratic operatives of impregnating a woman when she was 18, denying he was the father, and then abandoning her in her time of need, the heartless curr. Obviously not a man fit to be governor.

One problem though: the man in question is named Scott Alan Walker. The governor of Wisconsin is Scott Kevin Walker.

Is your city a sh*thole overrun by violent criminals and juvenile delinquents? Just have the police “accidentally” reclassify violent crimes as nonviolent. Voila! Your city is now safer because you did such a fantastic job.

I know a guy who lit a bottle rocket inside the foyer of his house and tossed it outside, where it immediately performed a 180, flew back into the house and exploded at the bottom of the staircase. I wasn’t there at the time, but I understand it was quite comical.

Two 13-year-old Wisconsin boys have been charged with first degree murder for the brutal slaying of one boy’s great-grandmother, whom they allegedly bludgeoned with a hammer and hatchet before robbing her spare change and going out for pizza.

Both boys, Antonio D. Barbeau and Nathan J. Paape, were charged Friday as adults in the death of Barbeau’s great-grandmother, 78-year-old Barbara J. Olson, prosecutors said.

In a crime that was both gruesome and callous, the boys are accused of going to Olson’s Sheboygan, Wis., home on Sept. 17 “to get some money,” the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.

Barbeau allegedly told his friend they should kill the elderly woman and they armed themselves with a hammer and hatchet.

The boys got a ride to Olson’s home from Paape’s mother and they “hid their weapons in their clothing,” police said.

They entered the house through an unlocked door and when Olson said she was going to call Barbeau’s mother, the teen allegedly struck her in the head with the blunt end of the hatchet.

WISN Barbara Olson

She fell to the ground but police say Barbeau continued to strike her with the back of the hatchet “as she tried to cover her head, groaning and telling them to stop.”

Paape then struck her twice with the hammer, police said.

Her great-grandson turned the hatchet around and hit her in the head with the blade, police said.

The teens then ransacked the house, taking a purse, loose quarters and jewelry, according to prosecutors.

They also allegedly tried to dispose the victim’s body, dragging her to the garage, but then abandoning the plan.

Instead, prosecutors say the teens stole Olson’s car and eventually left it at a Sheboygan bowling alley. From there, they walked to the pizza restaurant.

Olson’s body was found on Wednesday.

“I don’t understand how anyone much less 13-year-olds can be so unfeeling about someone to after they kill her, go to have a pizza,” Sheboygan County District Attorney Joe DeCecco said.

Both Barbeau and Pappe have admitted to police they killed Olson, the Sentinel said.

They are being held on $1 million cash bond.

Barbeau’s defense attorney told a local TV station he will try to have the case moved to juvenile court.

ABC 2 According to police, the two suspects entered the house through an unlocked door and when Olson said she was going to call Barbeau’s mother, the teen struck her in the head with the blunt end of the hatchet.

smdh…

Not surprising that it happened in Sheboygan. Everyone here makes fun of WI but WI makes fun of Sheboygan, just to give you a sense of how bad it is. Not recent but here’s a blog with “Only in Sheboygan” news:
