  1. Do these people proofread their statements? We’ll pay you to not shoot someone? Ok. How much will you pay me to not rob a bank? Not raping your daughter?

    This could be lucrative.

    Idiotic.

  2. I haven’t shot anyone all day. How much does Stockton owe me so far?

    What’s it worth to me, by the hour?

    I’m not planning to shoot anyone tonight, either. Does that qualify as Overtime?

  3. @Rufus T Firefly, don’t forget to add night differential and hazard pay if you drive at night through high crime areas and fail, excuse me, avoid shooting anyone.

  4. @cowgirl, this opens a whole new economy.

    Will all the non-shooters count as Newly Employed?
    Holiday pay? Night pay? If you have a lot of guns and ammo, do you earn more for Not Shooting than a guy who just owns one old surplus.38?
    If I’m on Vacation or scheduled days off, is it OK to shoot somebody on my own time?
    If I do shoot somebody, don’t I still get paid up to the moment I pull the trigger?

    Lots of questions. Enquiring minds.

  5. I thought this guy got busted for DUI some time back? Wondering why he is still mayor?

    I know he replaced a guy who’s currently under felony indictment that tried to purchase a handgun from ME at me place of employment while under said felony indictment.

    The douchebaggery is STRONG in my hometown.
