                Police say a man was visiting his friend, James Lawrence Russell, at Russell's home at 12016 S. Sage Ridge Circle, Sandy, on Nov. 25 when Russell became angry at for him lying in his bed.

                The two men then started fighting, and Russell asked the man to leave, according to charges filed Tuesday in 3rd District Court.

                Russell then pointed a gun at the man and said, "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't shoot you in the foot or shin," according to charging documents.

                  I saw this this morning. I guess he decided to shoot him in the shin. I think I would prefer getting shot in the shin than in the foot.

                    Maybe the argument was about lying in the other guy's bed... with the other guy's wife.

                          I think the victim is lazy. First, he is reposing in bed. Next, he fails to provide even one good reason to not be shot.

                          Verdict: no sympathy.
