Grenade used in TX road rage case

http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/localnews/stories/122205dnmetroadrage.64f76a7.html

Police took a woman in custody after she allegedly threatened a driver with a hand grenade during an apparent road rage incident Tuesday afternoon near Central Expressway and LBJ Freeway.

A motorist called Richardson police just before 5 p.m. to report that a driver in another car had displayed what appeared to be a grenade in a threatening manner.

Richardson police tracked the suspect vehicle to Belt Line and Shiloh roads in Garland, where they found 41-year-old Kimberly Al Homsi coming out of the parking lot of the Brighter Horizons Academy in Garland where she had just picked up her daughter.

"As officers approached the car, they saw what appeared to be a couple of hand grenades inside the car," said Richardson Police Sgt. Kevin Perlich. Harn said the bomb squad determined the devices were actual grenades, but did not contain any explosive material. However, they also found ammunition inside the vehicle.

Always pretty darn crazy to drive along during any rush hour afternoon anyhow.

So, whilst I'm not condoning this grenade incident, I can actually understand how some people might lose it and get into a road rage situation.

Nutzoid!

Heck Mr. Bluebear!! I was saying that along that stretch of road during the afternoon rush hour I can understand how a certain type of person would have a road rage situation.

Don't start getting uppity Mr. Bluebear...or ah'll have to whip mah paddle out onto your butt ;)

just wondering WHO would have a grenade in her purse!

Whooping from mah paddle then...just as well, because mah paddle has someone further down's name branded into it. Ahem.

Yes I agree, hand grenades in car are not good. As we ALL know, it's FAR more sensible to have a 12-Gauge sawn-off in your vehicle instead :)

:shrug: Gotta get those LieBruls! :rofl: It's "Bush Country! afterall! :shrug:

while hauling grenades (with or without the explosive stuff inside) and ammunition around. Geez, to think **I** get nervous at the wheel when I realize that I forgot my driver's license at home.

On a more serious note, look at the lady's last name. How soon before she and her family/spouse have their house raided and torn apart by the feds and they end up getting shuffled off somewhere??

This will be all over FOX, all over Paul Harvey, Limbaugh, etc.

Maybe Michelle Malkin will write a column in support of interment camps again.

"bomb hoax" but it "could be upgraded to making a terroristic threat".
They found ammunition and a rifle in the trunk, all being legal, per cops. Apparently, when she showed the other driver the grenade, she pulled the pin out.

She is being held in jail now down in Richardson.

BTW....this is the city that had the Holy Land charity (headquarters) organization ..the building that was raided a week before 9/11 by the feds. At the time it was just another local news story, then 9/11 happened and it just made you want to go "hmmmm...."

everyday. I think tomorrow I'm picking up some hand grenades!

Shouldn't you be asleep?

Sweet with that sexy pick-up truck :)

Yes I should be in bed and so should you...dammit WE should be in bed!!

Yes Central Expressway and LBJ Freeway are a complete pain in the ass.

Texas is great that way. ;)

Bazooka's and mini-nukes and all kinds at a 7-11 in Roanoke...course I only bought some donuts from there...because OCCASIONALLY I'm extremely well-behaved and have self-control.

;)

to Dallas, as you know. For example, we can't get the mini-nukes here in Dallas County yet. I guess that's why we're considered "cosmopolitan" compared to Ft. Worth

them. I'm sure they are here.

:crazy:

If they thought I had them, I'd be gone by now.


Damn, they must have found me harmless. :hide:

Actually, I think Laura Miller is negotiating a deal in order to get Dallas up to date, part of that deal is 7-11's AND Walgreen's being allowed to stock mini-nukes...and I think I heard that they'll be allowed to stock some Tomahawk missiles too!

So don't fret, Miller will have you up to date in no time.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

God how I hate that smoking ban.

But you know, I've perfected a way to get around any smoking ban and it works any time and in pretty much any situation.

That's a 9 inch barrel...every girl likes a 9 incher in her hand.



On Edit: Dammit spelling error.

On Edit Part Deux: I'm sorry for that SHOCKING comment...it's tx_dem41's fault, he's a very bad influence!

And to think that I almost didn't vote for Laura last time!

Silly me.

See how fab Miller is?

Whaddya mean you nearly didn't vote for her last time...Grrrr!

It makes the jokes funnier. :)

Are we playing? :bounce:

Impressive, huh?

They sure are purty :)

:blush: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

I'm contemplating actually having a nap, dammit...just as we were playing :cry:

Don't feel bad about snoozing. Just don't snore. :)

You...you...you...ah do not snore...I'll be checking the Richter scale tomorrow though after your imminent big performance :)

On Edit: Dammit wrong icon.

Central was better after it was widenend.

shit, maybe he had a grenade in it. Or maybe it just stunk real bad and he was going to try to throw in in the car with me.

you gotta be pretty pissed to reach for the hand grenade over the shotgun alot of Texan's carry. In this person's case I guess "close enough" does count in hand grenades and horseshoes.

No, I am not kidding, it really was..along with the ammunition.


Imagine being the owners of the daycare she had just left. They get to face a bunch of scared parents in the morning, I imagine, now that the name of the daycare and the words grenade and ammunition/rifle have been splashed across the news.

shotgun first....hand grenade second. This lady was obviously lucky she had a license.

:)

Would this be happening if there were enough light rail lines, street cars, and a generally modern public transit system that ran on time instead of these monstrous interstates gridlocked with cars and trucks?

I actually had a Richardson police officer standing beside my car one day looking at the back window. When I got to the car, I just asked "can I help you?" He looked at me then looked at the rod and reel that was against the back window and asked "Just what is the fishing pole for, sir?" I actually sat there for a second trying to figure out what concern he could have had about it, and just said "it's in case I happen to run across some standing water." He just said "well, ok," and walked over to his car.



spelling

Or try to, I guess. We weren't very successful, wound up calling a locksmith.

but we mainly use them to clear snow off our long farm driveways.

You'd see them fired up all over the place. That is a great idea, I had never thought about that.

just in case you get a little of the white stuff.
