Sentenced: Man Loses Arm-Wrestling Match With Son, Pulls Gun

[Sugar Cookie]

Authorities said an arm-wrestling contest between a father and son turned violent and led to an 8-hour standoff with Kentucky deputies.

Curtis Zimmerman was charged with wanton endangerment.

Boone County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Philip Ridgell said Zimmerman was intoxicated when he challenged his son to an arm-wrestling competition. After losing several times, Zimmerman got upset, fought his son, and later grabbed a gun, shooting into the ceiling twice. No one was injured.

Two family members were outside when authorities arrived, but Zimmerman refused to leave the home, leading to an 8-hour standoff.

The older generation naturally gives way to the younger generation. Be glad if they're stronger, smarter, and better than you. It bodes well for your line.

 

[Sejanus]

Idiot.
The accepted escalation is to pull a Bowie camp knife.

Amateur.

Classic Kentucky behavior

shooting into the ceiling twice

If im shooting my house up its not going to be the roof. Maybe a wall or a door. Not the roof.

 

[Symmachus]

What a wuss. That is the wrong type of gun to bring to an arm wrestling match.

 

[Doctor Slaughter]

My cousins Clete and Clay armwrestle all the time. Usually it is with someone else's severed arm though. The family that slays together slays together. brings tears to my eyes. @~@

If I had a child that was stronger than me? I'd think I did my job and we would have a drunken festival. But I don't, so keep those pictures of your rugrats in your goddamn wallet.
