Voted #1 Condo Rental!

Voted #1 Condo Rental! Continued from Previous Page had an open warrant for burglary and just didn’t want to go back to jail. So instead of a couple of years he got 45. What a dumbass. And by the way, I got a Whataburger Breakfast on a Bun several times before I was discharged. The Whataburger was just across the street. Now normally that would be the end of my story, but less than a year after my shooting another deputy stopped an 18-wheeler. While he was climbing up the steps the driver shot him in almost the exact same spot as me…inside his upper thigh, but he wasn’t as lucky as I was. The bullet severed an artery, and he bled out before the ambulance could arrive. I ran up to the scene as soon as I heard he’d been shot. I wasn’t going to wait for some damn ambulance. I was going to save his life just like they saved mine and drive him to the hospital, but I was too late. He died right there on the highway less than a mile from where I had been shot. I couldn’t believe it. I was literally just seconds too late. Why didn’t these officers apply a tourniquet? Why hadn’t they just loaded him in a car and drove him to the hospital? Why? I couldn’t believe one of my best friends was laying there dead. I dropped to my knees and cried right there in front of all those cops. Why was I spared and yet he died? Why? I ask myself that at least once a day. Why indeed?
