Rockingham County Shooting - 2 dead

People don’t fight anymore. They bitch-slap and push each other. Or they knife, shoot or run you over with a car.
The only fights I ever had, I ended up on the ground grappling and grunting. The days of thumbs to the eye, biting an ear, head-butting or testicular knee applications has been taken over by kids smacking other kids with skillets, or girls getting their ass shot off for attacking another girl with a knife, over something not worth killing a mouse for.
What would Wyatt Earp think🤦🏻‍♂️
 
The other day, it sounded like two women were about to have a cat fight over parking at the UNC hospital patient lot. It started with a lot of horn blowing and turned into a lot of yelling. Now, I van get why emotions might be high, but dayum.

Someone more acute than me can probably find it quicker, but I had asked the masses here (massholes, if you will), when was the last time you fought or punched someone.

The silence was deafening. Made me want to punch someone.

11 years since the last. I only remember because it was a night of a few decisions that have followed me.

I don't really go out anymore. I don't start anything never have. People that know me still steer people away from me and me away from people. 🤷‍♂️

Had this on 8-track as a kid. It was our road-trip music.





I'm with the others above. I carry a pistol because I'm too old to run and never learned to fight.
 
Never, ever gained anything positive from a fist fight.

Unless you consider hard lessons positive. In that case, I have had a ton of positive come from fist fights.
 
My last fight to speak of was the 9th grade. Big but kinda wussy guy called me something another and the plan was set to meet on bus #21 when school let out.
By then, word had gotten out, and EVERYBODY wanted to ride that bus!
The dude was easily twice my size and I figured that if he got ahold of me I was done.
On the bus, all I could think of was dad burning into me "don't start a fight, but finish it". We had lots of fight talk words and I kept trying to get him to start it. Never forget hearing an old country boy friend of mine yell...."hit em Larry...hit em!"
I tried and failed to get him to remove his glasses, he shoved me and I poped him in the temple good and hard with a right.
Broke his glasses, which cut his brow, and it was over.

Low hanging fruit from a local but if you find me leaking from a gunshot wound on 29 dont take me to Annie penn. Just head on down 29 to Cone. Or even back to Loves and I’ll patch myself up like bob lee swagger.

When I worked security at UNC Rockingham it was a common thing for Annie Penn to just reroute all their emergency room patients to us. We had several weekends at the beginning of the Covid nonsense when there would be dozens of people sent over to us an hour, standing room only in the ER and some of our nurses in contact with friends at Annie Penn who told us they had zero patients over there.

Not sure how that is allowed, but it happened constantly.
 
I was discussing this with a guy at work today and we were wondering if it was "club" related. He's pretty tight with some of the local Angels and he said it kinda feels like it was. From what I understand that area has a few clubs around including the Pagans who seem to carry some pretty nasty attitudes. Could be a simple case of being mouthy, maybe not.

That does seem odd. Not sure of the dynamic with regards to that.
May be some form of selection bias but nobody seems to have good experiences with Annie Penn that I have heard about.

I know what you're saying, and I don't disagree with you.

But I have made some lifelong friends after first getting in a fight with them.

But that could be more specific to the teenage years, and small old-timey communities as well.

True dat.
 
Looks like the suspect was arrested in Kentucky yesterday.

And listening to the news report, It sounds like road rage to me. Sounds like it started on 29, the motorcyclists got off at the loves truckstop exit with Dodge truck dude following. He waited for them across the street to get gas and then when they got back on the highway he followed an opened fire.
