Nice....

What will this clown be charged with? Felony (probably not)? Federal charges (under the jurisdiction of the FAA)? I would love to know what consequences he will face.

The thought just occurred to me, since this is another story about a potentially deadly incident involving a police officer, let's see if PB will also use this situation to NOT say something ... although he could.

here is a story on a man who not only got caught shining it at airline pilots but a helicopter as well. They are trying to give him 25 years for the airplane but a slap on the wrist for the helicopter. If I understand correctly it should be a whole nother set of charges just for shining the laser at an officer, let alone an aircraft.

I theory he could be charged with a federal felony. Then again, I've seen more than one person commit a federal felony related to firearms and nothing "federal" ever happened to them.

Your second paragraph is pure comedy. Thanks for the laugh. Hopefully others will see it as comedy as well.

"Sheriff Deputy's" are diffent than Police Officers And I would never condone the death of an Police Officer never..

Ask and you shall receive, Chaos. PB you really don't get it do you? :roll: I know you're trying to be funny, but I doubt anyone is laughing at this.

PB always takes the bait and puts a foot in his mouth each time.

OMG!!! You GOT me!!! You got me good! But since this is game you want to play, let me take my turn:

1. "Sheriff's deputies" not "Sheriff Deputy's."

2. The correct spelling of "diffent" is "dif·fer·ent."

3. You don't capitalize a noun ("Deputy's" and "Police Officers") unless they are part of a specific individual's title (i.e., "Police Officer, John Smith").

4. Your "sentence" is missing two periods, one coma and has an incorrectly rendered ellipsis (that has no business being there to begin with).

5. I don't think "condone" means what you think it does:

con·done [kuhn-dohn] –verb
1. to disregard or overlook (something illegal, objectionable, or the like).
2. to give tacit approval to: "By his silence, he seemed to condone their behavior."

This is probably the word you were looking for:

triv·i·al·ize (tr?v'?-?-l?z')
1. To make or cause to appear trivial: "While trying to be funny, PB trivialized the injuries to the sheriff's deputies."

Tell Uncle Lou I said "hello", Chaos.

SS you just won't quit will you?

PB, you have issues and we don't need issues around here. The term for you is Troll, keep it up and we won't have the problem long.
