Last Monday night he hid outside her house and when she came out onto the deck he shot her three times, hitting her in the chest, thigh and ankle.
Pickering confessed to the murder attempt after police found the pistol hidden in air vent in his house. He told police the "bitch" came to his door and threatened him, so he hid behind a pine tree outside her house and "I waited and I waited and I waited."
The girl survived and is out of the hospital, but it may be months before she can walk again.
Who was this guy?
Pickering filed for bankruptcy last year in Wisconsin, listing $45,000 in liabilities, much of it unpaid medical debt. In 2011, Pickering pleaded guilty in Wisconsin to two counts of driving under the influence.I guess Obamacare came a year too late for Chad Pickering. I wonder if this shooting would have even happened if Pickering's life hadn't been such a hell because of medical problems?
On his Facebook page, Pickering listed his job as a correctional officer at Northwestern Minnesota Juvenile Center. A call and e-mails to that center’s director, Bill Frey, were not returned Thursday. But Frey told the Valley News Live that Pickering was a part-time correctional officer from May 20 to June 9.
On Facebook in July, Pickering shared a message from a group called “Cold Dead Hands” that blasted gun control. Pickering urged voters to “ditch the retards that are taking this country down the drain.”
In any case, it's clear that Pickering carried a gun openly to intimidate people. And when that failed to shut them up, he took it a step further: he couldn't stand to be humiliated in front of his kids by a stupid teenage bitch who was unimpressed by the size of his weapon. He showed her!
It makes the average person wonder how many of these open-carry gun nuts are just like this guy, human time-bombs waiting to go off.
The fact is, it's people like Pickering who are taking the NRA down the drain. Too many of their most irate and vocal members are cast in the same mold: excitable and unstable people who should not have deadly weapons.
Why do respectable gun owners let these fruit cakes control the gun debate?

That's the trouble with fruitcakes like him, and like you.
I wonder if he is any relation to Matt Pickering who posts on Kevin's site and on Quora.
Just what the fuck does the resident coprocephalic think the NRA is supposed to do? They've long since denounced these clowns who pull publicity stunts that rank up there with the PETA get-naked for animals stunts. And until June 9th, this particular clown had been sprinkled with the magic fairy dust of government, too. Imagine that!
39 people have been shot and killed in Chicago so far this month, yet markadelphia and nikto never ever talk about that because there is no political gain for them in mentioning those incidents of gun violence. Must be because the perps and victims have black and brown skin, but let 1 white guy from the burbs do something stupid and it's time to trot out their sloppy opinion asap.
I think I just found the most accurate representation of Mark's 'logic' and debate skills to date:

Notice how she thinks she's completely right and logical throughout.
GD, that was funny!
Truly a dizzying intellect!
