William Moore, 72, was awakened around 2 a.m. Saturday to noises coming from his garage. He investigated and discovered a woman engaged in oral sex with Todd Harrison, 38. Moore fired at the guy. This story says the woman was Moore's daughter. (San Antonio Express-News)

I thought it was traditional to turn the garden hose on them. That's the way my mother always broke up the neighborhood dogs.

A bucket of pee works pretty well, too. Or boiled potatoes.
Seriously, how old is the daughter? If she's underaged, I can see why Pappy might blow a gasket. If she's an adult, though, it's none of his damned business.

No dad wants to see his daughter giving head. At least no dads I know.

He was going to shoot the guy in the genitals but was afraid of hitting his daughter in the head.

The story says she is 40, Phranq.

Folks, this man showed remarkable restraint and kindness. He shot the fellow only after a fair warning and even then shot him in the left hand.
Personally, I do not think he should be charged with anything.

If I'm dating a girl who lives at her dad's house I think I'll take my BJs and my place. Maybe he's married?

Get a room, Fungirl.

That will surely take your mind off the task at hand.

Who says you can't die twice?
He was getting blown away while he was getting blown away.

so that means the guy was making all the noise
or she's really, really sloppy

Yeah, Notch, the old man also should have kicked the guy on the nuts but he would have broken his daughter's jaw.

It could have been much worse if dear old dad fired his shotgun as he walked in, causing involuntary jaw clamp, and turning Todd into a soprano.

Not if she is a legal tenant. He has no right to enter her private living space. According to the article, he was only allowed to stay until midnight and this was at 2 am. I guess it's OK to give BJ's before midnight.

If the gent were that concerned about the lady's virtue, shouldn't he have had her living upstairs instead of in the garage, where there would be easy access?
The phrasing of this sentence strikes me as kind of odd, though: "Moore allows Harrison to visit a woman who lives in his garage until midnight...." It makes me think of kids knocking on the front door, asking Mom/Dad if their child can come out to play.

Still under daddy's thumb at 40? That explains a lot.
Posted by: Phranqlin | Tuesday, March 30, 2010 at 08:17 PM
So....where is this place again? And have they taken the guy's gun? I think I might like to stop by some time around midnight
