Can you imagine a 40 year old going around shooting people with rocks and darts.. mental health in question? lol.

http://www.wausaudailyherald.com/article/20100423/WDH0101/304230129/1981 

A 41-year-old Plover woman is in Portage County Jail after a blow darting spree in downtown Stevens Point Wednesday night.

Paula Wolf was arrested at 9:30 p.m. Wednesday, less than an hour after four pedestrians told police they were shot with blow darts that came from a van she was driving.

Police received its first report at 9 p.m. from a 25-year-old Stevens Point woman who said she was walking in the 800 block of Crosby Avenue near Pfiffner Pioneer Park when she felt a dart hit her chest. A second victim, a 21-year-old Stevens Point man, said he was walking past Mead Park at 9:13 p.m. when he saw a van come up from behind and then felt a dart in his chest. Another victim, a 42-year-old Mosinee man, was walking in the 1300 block of Church Street when he felt a dart strike him in the back. A fourth victim was standing outside 1140 Main Street at 9:30 p.m. smoking a cigarette when a black minivan with what appeared to be a pipe sticking out the window pulled up. The victim said she felt the dart hit her, but it did not puncture her skin because she was wearing several layers of clothing.

Police pulled Wolf over at the corner of Second and Main streets at 9:30 p.m. after getting her license plate number from a victim. When they approached her van, they found a blow gun, a slingshot and a small bucket of rocks sitting on the floor of the passenger side.

Police said Wolf denied any wrongdoing but eventually admitted to shooting the pedestrians, none of whom were seriously injured, telling an officer "she liked to hear people say 'ouch'" when she hit them. She also admitted to shooting at a 22-year-old man April 16, police said.

Wolf said that she was trying to strike a group of people who were smoking outside 956 Main St. when the dart hit a window on the door of the business and broke the glass.

She also admitted to unsuccessfully breaking the windows of a Portage County squad car Wednesday by shooting rocks at the car with her slingshot, police said.

Wolf has been charged with first-degree recklessly endangering safety.

Stevens Point Police Lt. Jim Dowling said the department has dealt with Wolf in the past on incidents ranging from forgery and fraud to disorderly conduct.

How do you "unsuccessfully break" something? I think the author meant to say "unsuccessfully attempting to break." We have a serious loss of wordsmithery in the journalism industry these days.

But still, blowdarts? Now that's just funny. I wonder how hard it was for the arresting officers to keep a straight face. :whipitgood:

I wasn't saying that journalists have to use big words, but to write something as patently illogical as "unsuccessfully break" in an article he's PAID to write is absurd.

I disagree with Formo. The media is dumbing down America. It's really dumb.

Use better English, and use English that actually increases one's vocabulary. The average American vocabulary sucks ass and we should be ashamed of it.

The average periodical in America is written at a 3rd- to 5th-grade level. I agree that is ridiculous. The point of reading should be to challenge, to educate, to exercise and expand the mind, not to cater to laziness.

+1 to the first person who successfully identifies the American periodical with the highest reading level.

That reminds me, I have a full set of the Harvard Classics that I got from my Dad. I remember promising him I'd read him and that was 20 years ago, and I haven't even started. Instead I spend my free time talking with you imaginary people. It's great to be an American.

How can you guys laugh at Nonstop? He is the most eccentric mofo on this forum. The guy makes me read the dictionary daily. If he could get me to pull out the good book once in a while, well there might be some hope.

+1 to Formo, and buddy you know how hard that is for me.

    Mucky Tundra (7m) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago
    beast (58m) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years
    Zero2Cool (7h) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.
    packerfanoutwest (7h) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it
    beast (8h) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done
    Zero2Cool (15h) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.
    Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore
    packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!
    Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!
    beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
    beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game
    packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won
    Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!
    Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol
    buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier
    buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol
    Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???
    Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???
    packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath
    packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.
    packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
    Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
    beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
    beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed
    Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno
    beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?
    packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm
    Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground
    Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.
    beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.
    packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th
