Sparatanburg SC Sheriff: citizens should arm themselves

Spartanburg SC Sheriff Chuck Wright: “Our form of justice is not making it. Carry a concealed weapon. That’ll fix it.” The sheriff was a tad ticked off because some loser attacked a woman in a local park last weekend and tried to rape her. Didn’t anybody tell this guy his job is monitoring citizens’ transfat consumption? Time for Occupy Spartanburg? Go ahead, make his day….

  • Finally an elected law enforcement person telling the people to protect themselves.

    Every officer knows that they are going to arrive on a call after the fact unless they just happen to be right there.

  • Bad Sheriff! Why aren't you out chasing the real criminals?
    Go bust the local Burger King for selling that evil sugar sweetened soda! Shut down Dairy Queen for selling (gasp) Ice Cream to minors!
    Just leave the poor, misunderstood rapist alone.

    Wha??? Oh! Libtard moment has passed.

    • You completely avoided bacon. Bacon is the devil's work, in shredded form. Mmmmm. Me so evil. Bacon burgers. Bacon on a bagel. Bacon, lettuce and tomato. And salt! Don't forget the salt! The gubs going after everything!

      When you pass a libtard, is it painful? Like a gall stone or something?

  • Wright said in his view, gun control is, "Is when you can get your barrel back on the target quick. That’s gun control."

    • When I shared that story on my FB account, I mentioned wanting to draft the good Sheriff for President.

  • Nothing like a scrotum full of #8 shot from a .410 to fix that pervert's problems. How much you like to bet some liberal lawyer, and some weak kneed judge will let him out again.
