ALWAYS DO THE PAPERWORK!

Like Angela Davis -- presently Professor emerita of the University of California, Santa Cruz -- did in August 1970 as three guns registered in her name mysteriously appeared at a San Raphael courthouse during the "Marin County Civic Center attacks". Just two days before, Davis had decided it was a fine day to visit a pawn shop and buy a shotgun and she also thought it was a great day to saw off the barrel. We all have days like that sometimes!

The sawed off shotgun turned out to be the perfect weapon if you intended to create a hostage situation where the victim could not simply duck or move out of the way quickly... all you had to do was tape it to the Judge's neck! I had to go looking for this photo because even though it is one of the most famous news photos ever taken ... Wikipedia didn't think it contributed to the article. I won't show a photo of the judge's head blown off, though that did happen soon after this photo was taken.

This is a bit off topic but I sometimes do this 'historical outreach' because I know Angela Davis loves to Google her own name, and I would not want every hit to be some boring gushing adoration written by her socialist SJW sycophants.
