Held "hostage"
« on: 09/ 7/06 - 04:46PM »
I eluded to a situation that I was in on Sunday at my parents house.

The situation was that their neighbor at the head of the deadend is getting divorced after over 20 years of marraige (sp?).  He told his soon to be ex-wife that she and some freinds could come and get her belongings on Sunday.  I guess that he decided to get up and have a few beers or whatever so when they got there he was nice and sauced.  They start to move some of the stuff out and he decided to get his shotgun and remodel the interior walls.  He then decided to pin them down in the ditch from his front door.  This all happened around 2 or so and we had went out there to have lunch with my mom's cousins that had driven to Branson from Illinois.  About 2:30 they shut the road down and didn't open it up, talk him out, until around 6.  He didn't shoot anyone and it didn't even make it on the news.

It was funny because his house is about 1/3 of a mile from my parents and we watched the whole thing with a pair of binaculars and a spotting scope.

I did learn that when a Sheriff's deputy is standing in the sun for 3 hours and you take him a bottle of water he will tell you exactly what the situation is.  But he WILL NOT sit in a lawn chair at his appointed post.  Even if he is 200 feet away from a house covering it with a shotgun!  LOL

It was fun to watch tho.  No SWAT stuff tho- that sucked.

If that was in Springfield, they would have gassed the house and taken him out with bean bag shots.  Probably even burned the house down to get him out like Waco.  You should have called KY3 yourself, you could've been an eye witness.  

I can see it now:

Kara Ristelli: "So you watched the whole thing go down from just yards away?"
Brad: "Yep, that thar soused hillbilly wasted good squirrel shot tryin' ta get rid of his old lady."
KR= "Were you ever afraid for your life Mr. Barbato?"
Brad: "Nope, I had him in my crosshairs of my perfectly legal semi-auto assult rifle the whole time.  He wasn't going anywhere near me."
KR: "Do you think the authorities did what they could in a timely manor?"
Brad: "Well, I do thnk they wasted good tax payers money takin' so long.  I was just waiting for the word, and just charged a few dollars per round."

KR: "There you have it folks.  A man apprehended here next to Wilson's Creek Battlefield, and not a shot fired during a skirmish this Sunday evening."

Then Greene County arrests Kara Ristelli for obstruction of an investigation and she does a news piece on how she was treated in the poky and wins an Edward R. Murrow award for it.

Brad is watched for months by the FBI and Homeland Security, not to mention the BATF.

Oh well, it was good to know you, Brad... Damn, now we're all accomplaces since we read this.  I feel someone watching me right now!!
I'd put something funny here, but you probably wouldn't get it anyway...

It would be a lot better story if swat would have showed up, kicked down his door, and then we could have all watched it on COPS.

How about if during KR interview, somewhere in the background an Apache Attack Helicopter swept into view and starting pumpin hot lead into the purps house and surrounding area killing a few squirrels, a dog, 2 cats and a goat. The hillbillies wasted ammo would not be in vain then.

The funniest part was when the Sheriff deputy told me thanks and I told him "we knew you were hot - I been watching you through the scope"  His eyes got REAL big and he kinda looked around and then I said " Oh - it is just a spotting scope".  I kinda laughed and he didn't.  

I told my dad that I would take care of it twice as fast and 10 times cheaper.  Just wouldn't be as "legal".  I haven't liked the guy for about 18 years.

What makes you think that I am not ALREADY being watched?  My psychiatrist says that I am not but I think that she works for them!

So does your psychiatrist get hazardous duty pay for putting up with you?  

For some reason I think your idea of a spotting scope is a rifle scope without a round chambered.  :agree:

She probably does!!  She says that I have anger issues but tells me over the phone because of her dumb restraining order against me.  Won't even let me carry a pocket knife - some law about safety to society.  Balooneeee :ahhhhh:

If there isn't a round chambered it is a spotting scope isn't it?  Makes more sense than standing about 100 foot out of range of a shotgun to cover a front porch.  But what do I know?
