God DAMN my life is interesting.
So I lost my voice.
My roommates say I sound like Batman.
Around 1:00am last night, my dad showed up with my little stepsiblings and their mom, having been run off his place by the sheriffs.
Apparently their landlords (crazy drunk mountain squatters) whom they have had problems with before (like my dad beating his ass for trying to choke out his woman)
Tried to assault my father. 3 men, drunk as approached him in a space about 4 feet wide, between his truck, and a boat on a trailer. My dad had heard them yelling and getting worked up earlier, so he had loaded his shotgun (same kind the sheriffs keep in their car) with Double Ot Byuckshot, and was standing with it in one hand behind his right leg, out of sight.
My father is a veteran, and a very cool headed individual. When two of the men reached forward, he took a step back, swung the shotgun out, and fired off a round into the dirt about 6 inches away from the ringleader's foot. He then brought the shotgun up to eye level, put the barrel right between his eyes, and said
"Leave me alone."
They ran back to the house screaming and notified the police. Two minutes later, half of the sheriff's department showed up, my dad walked out with his hands in the air, and explained the situation. I have to commend those sheriff's for the way they handled everything.
Everyone was searched, the gun was confiscated, they got one straight story out of my dad, ignored the drunks, checked out the spent shell, and told the landlords to go back inside.
They didn't cuff my dad. They knew the history of the people assaulting him, and they cut him a huge break. They told him that he could either gather his things and leave the property quietly, or they could take him in and the kids could stay with their mom for the night. He opted to leave.
They returned the shotgun to him, and he brought the family over to my place. They are on the way to collect their belongings with a citizen's assist from the very same sheriffs that took the call last night.
I am so happy that there are still good cops here in this town. My dad is not a criminal, has no record, and was clearly in the right! And for once, everything played out as it should!
Whew!! Now off to my Asian family Christmas party!
