JCLady sent in a story about a woman, Shukri Ali Said, who threatened a family member with a knife and wouldn’t put it down after being found wandering the streets. She was tasered and shot with sponge bullets.
Johns Creek, Georgia police put an end to the situation by using bullets sans the sponge.
There are muslims everywhere, and they seem to enjoy knives.

How about putting that one 9 mm slug that you carry in your pocket in her brain, Barney?
OK, I have to show my ignorance….WTF is a ‘sponge bullet’?
It sounds like something that soaks up the impact of a serious projectile.
I.E. using baby gloves on a crybaby so as not to cause harm or pain. Therefore, dissipating any intentional implication of correcting the root problem.
A hollow point filled with pork. That ought to do it.
They’re foam, sponge or rubber impact bullets.

eXact Impact uses a plastic case with a sponge nose. That’s what they used on her.
these are absolutely wonderful in a knife fight …. among other encounters …

Thanks BFH
I have certainly heard of rubber bullets but I was totally ignorant of the term ‘sponge bullet’.
Or maybe ask her where she got those cute shoes. And when she looks down, you throw water in her hair and she’ll start crying because you ruined her hairstyle and then, after handing her some kleenex, you guide her into the police car. But before you get to the police station, ask her if she wants a fresh garden salad that she could eat on the way.
NO! Shoot the bitch!
So Nerf darts in other words.
See….had this occurred in the UK she wouldn’t have had a knife!
Problem solved.
Was it a birth control sponge bullet?
If’n Them boys had a Marine Corps riot baton they wouldn’t have had an issue.
Break the fucks arms with it.
Johns Creek is a wealthy suburb that loves them some die-versity ……..Its like Northern Virginia. That said it is strange that out of all the tools they have, the guns seems to work the best.
@Anon, She wasn’t sponge-worthy.
I’d love to see one of those “she posed no threat” commenters being harassed by a tiny woman with a knife and see how they handle it. They would call the cops, like her family did because they felt SHE POSED A THREAT!
