Just down the road from my peeps in my hometown of Columbia TN…tatted up thugs are no match for the porch-sittin’, gun-totin’, bible-thumpin’, cousin-humpin’ folks around those parts. And if they don’t get that reward there might be some more folks held at gunpoint…justifiably so.
I couldn’t help but notice that the Gubnor praised all the cops, etc. who didn’t catch the bad guys, but not the citizen who did. I too hope he at least gets the reward money. He earned it and likely saved lives besides his own.
@Jeffersonian, the Gubnor is gonna praise his state employees not the employers. I doubt if he understands he’s our employee and probably hasn’t read and headed this:
Tennessee Constitution
Declaration of Rights
Article I, Sections 1-2
Section 1. That all power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their peace, safety, and happiness; for the advancement of those ends they have at all times, an unalienable and indefeasible right to alter, reform, or abolish the government in such manner as they may think proper.
Section 2. That government being instituted for the common benefit, the doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power and oppression is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.

Room temp bad guys would’ve been better but I’ll take this.

So does he get the $130k?
If you are going on the run, prison tats on your face are a bad idea.
