I heard this story on the radio. Apparently, it was during an “open house” for the jail, where the community could come in and visit. He was new to the force, and too embarrassed to ask for help, so he decided that shooting his way out was the best solution.
I don’t know, because you paint everyone in an entire state with the same brush? Does this mean that all people from Louisian speak like Farmer Fran from “The Waterboy,” that all Texans ride horses and own lassoes?
I’m extremely claustrophobic and could reasonably see myself attempting anything, even something that my rational self knows wouldn’t work, to get out of a confining space like a jail cell.

you’d think shooting a gun off in a jail full of civilians would be even more embarrasing than asking for help.
Not a news fail
Please note that the name of this site is not “newsfail.com”.
“News Fails, because journalism isn’t dying fast enough.”
The author even took the time to capitalize News AND Fails, to emphasize just what this website is all about.
A fail in the news is, in a way, still a news fail, so I’m not seeing the poroblem here.
Who said Barney Fife was dead? He lives!!!!!!!!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought this. Props to you, good sir or madam.
Why am I not surprised that this is in Kentucky…

Stepping off my soapbox now.
a Ky deputy eh? If only he had some kind of lubricating fluid to allow him to squeeze through the bars.
No, Anna, that is not the title, but it IS the site’s claim regarding its content.
Right under the title at the top of this and every page of the site, it reads:
“News Fails, because journalism isn’t dying fast enough.”
Well, it IS a fail that made the news…
I like to think of this site as the internet’s equivalent of Jay Leno’s “Headlines” segment.
On a side note, this means that Leno is now obsolete…

I can agree with that. Phobias aren’t funny, even if the results look like it.
Lord, I am so ashamed for my state right now…
