Mother, son both end up arrested

[Tejas]

Bad idea #1
"...the two argued while on Stooksbury's porch and Stooksbury ordered him off the property.

As the victim was leaving, Stooksbury allegedly went inside and came back outside with a gun that he fired at the victim."

Bad idea #2
A mom upset that her son had been arrested for allegedly shooting at a man ended up being arrested herself for allegedly tailgating the cruiser holding her son, driving into the jail's unloading area behind the arresting deputy, and then hitting the arresting officer in the face.

Only things missing in this episode of Springer:

"She's such a good momma!"

"My momma didn't do nothing!"

1. How very polite of her...

to drive herself to jail.

2. Not the sharpest tool in the shed

"Stooksbury told deputies the victim threatened him but agreed that the victim didn't have a weapon and had begun to leave when he fired."

Someone will inevitably pop-in, full of self-righteous indignation, and declare to us all that if the son had not had a gun, no conflict would have taken place.

Someone will also try to liken the actions of this man to all law abiding gun owners.
