To add a little bit of info, I believe that it was the Rinaudo(spell?) subject was caught this past halloween in Barneveld wearing a bullet proof vest. When the deputies went to confront him, an altercation ensued before he was taken into custody. I guess he said it got the vest from his brother who is in the military. I find that hard to believe as a military person knows he would be in deep do-do if he did do something like this.. These two are real winners. Indictment means that there is enough evidence to support felony charges(FYI). I hope they make an example of these two, and I'm not just saying that as H.P.C.S. is my alma mater('82).

Thanks for the additional information,wcup. It is true that James Randaudo's brother is in the military but I have no idea why he would have given a bullet proof vest to James. I also didn't know that you had to commit a Felony before a Grand Jury would indict you. Thanks for this piece of education.
I predict this is not the last time we will be hearing about James R. as he also did two other things that were criminal and got away with it. Since he managed to lie his way out of both of them, I don't want to be accused of slander for posting what they were.
He is only 17 years old but already has a criminal mind. Maybe doing some time in a State Prison will change his attitude, but somehow I doubt it. I agree that these two should received BIG sentences to make an example to other kids that guns are NOT toys and should never, never be brought into a school.

Another tidbit, kinda off topic, we got s bulletin a while back that showed us that gunmakers are now making colored guns. The come in pink, red, blue, green and are real guns. Just when we got the toy makers to stop making realistic guns, now the real gun makers are making toy looking guns. I tucked that bulletin away if in the event, God forbid, I or any of my compadres ever shoots a person or kid that has one of these toy looking guns, we may have some saving grace in our justification when it goes in front of the Grand Jury. It's just getting too scary to think what could happen and how society will judge you.

I think it is better to be safe than sorry. If the perp has the balls to try and be tough by confronting an officer with a toy gun, he deserves whatever ensues. I'm tired of hearing thugs cry about how they were shot for possessing a toy gun. If the fucker didn't approach the officer with the toy gun drawn as if it was real and obeyed the officer's directions to put it down and step away, he might not have been shot! You'll have my support wcup102. I may be a nothing, but you have my support.

I also agree with you, Swimmy. Anyone that would point a gun - real or a toy - at a Policeman would have to have an I.Q. of MINUS 20. They would deserve to be shot just based on their stupidity if nothing else.

Off Topic - how many have refused to move from the window AFTER they have taken your money for what you ordered and then they tell you to park someplace while they get it ready for you? The only thing worse than fast food is slow fast food. |

I have had the experience of being told to pull ahead and wait also. I told the kid I wasn't pulling anywhere, and that the sooner he dragged his ass around the corner and returned with a chicken sandwich, the sooner I would be out of his way.
This really dumbass look came over his face, he dissappeared into the deep confines of McDonald Land, and very shortly the manager brought me my sandwich and said "thank you sir, have a nice day" LOL.
The other incident that we had at McDonald Land that pissed me off, was when they have a closing time of 11 PM, and I ordered a milkshake at 9:45 and they had already torn down and cleaned the milkshake machine, so they can run out the door at 11 PM on the nose.
To prove my point, the next night, I went next door to Burger King, bought a milkshake in a big, brightly colored, burgerking cup, and then went and stood in line at Mcdonalds to order my chicken sandwich. I even asked the girl behind the counter at Mcdonalds for a spoon, and told her that I needed a spoon because BK's shakes were so much thicker than McDonalds.
It was a riot. I then sat down and ate my sandwich and drank my BK shake in Ronalds dining room, just to break the managers balls. He asked me why I had their shake, and I told him that I thought I better get my shake next door, because it was after sundown, and I thought most likely they had their shake machine shut down for the day.

He had me reiterate the story of the night before, and apologized for my inconvenience. He was the same guy that was there when I would not pull forward for my chicken sandwich. I will probably be the first one in Bristol to get banned from McDonalds for being a pain in their ass, haha. I actually don't stop for junk food often. The night I wouldn't pull away from the drive thru, I was getting something for Kathy after bowling, and decided to have a chicken sandwich. I don't usually eat any of those grease emporium's foods.
With the advent of all the ground beef recalls, I grind my own beef from round and chuck roasts. I have an electric grinder that I purchased to make italian sausage with when we first moved here. It is much better burger, and much leaner and healthier anyhow.
I was never a great junk food fan. I don't like french fries, and if I want a burger, I go to a quality sit down restaurant, and order a real hamburger. My downfall was subs and pizza, haha.

DeMatteo's on East Dominick St. in Rome has "world famous" cheeseburgers. I highly recommend the roasted long hots as the perfect topping.
Be sure to tell 'em Frank sent you. They'll ask "who the hell is Frank?"

Hehehe........Swimmy, you ought to see if you can get into the NEADS facility up at Griffiss. It's about as realistic as you can get for a practice situation.
You have seconds to decide whether it's you or them.
Toy gun or not, it's a threat.......hesitate and you may find out it's not.
Todd......Have you gotten a load of the new Tasers they have out for women? Leopard skin prints, fancy colors, etc.
Wait'll those hit the streets!!!! I am glad I am not in your shoes!

I interned at the DA's office when that one officer shot a man who refused to obey the officer's commands to put down the gun. Instead the man drew it on the officer and walked toward him. The officer shot. After the incident, it turned out that the very realistic gun was a bbgun. The blacks played the race card because it was a white officer who shot a black man.
I supported the officer and said that the man deserved to be shot for refusing to obey the officer and insisting on acting in a hostile manner. If I were the officer in that situation, I would have done the same thing. I told Arcuri my sentiments.
