While it too is dysfunctional, I was prepared to go on a rant about the current situation with Congress having to pass yet another continuing resolution to keep the government funded. All because the Democratic Party controlled Senate refuses to pass a budget. They haven’t done their responsibility in over 2 ½ years so far as the budget is concerned. Their latest one was to pass one good for two months so that they could go home for the holidays.
However, another story surfaced today that shows an even more dysfunctional “house.” This story comes from Taylorsville, Utah. (Hey….that’s the state that Harry Reid, the dysfunctional Senate leader is from.) Oops. Got side tracked there.
It all boils down to a man shooting at a mouse with a 9mm handgun, hitting one of his roommates, who is in the bathroom, and when the cops come to investigate the accidental shooting, they end up arresting the THIRD roommate for rape.
Hey, would you believe that alcohol was involved?
But, I’ll let you read the story for yourself and provide a link to the original story.
Man Shoots at Mouse, Hits Roommate; Another Roommate Arrested for Rape

TAYLORSVILLE — A 34-year-old man has been arrested for investigation of multiple counts of sex abuse against a 13-year-old girl.
The four-month relationship was discovered after a bizarre incident at the man's house in which one of his housemates was shot by a third housemate who was reportedly trying to shoot a mouse in his kitchen with a 9mm handgun, according to investigators.
Paul Daniel Kunzler was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail for investigation of two counts of rape of a child, three counts of sodomy of a child and three counts of sexual abuse of a child.
The string of events began to unfold about 2 a.m. Tuesday when police were called to a house, 2584 W. Brucemont Dr. (5450 South), on a report of an accidental shooting. Officers arrived to discover that a man who was in the bathroom had accidentally been shot in the chest by his 27-year-old housemate who was shooting at a mouse in the kitchen with a handgun, said Taylorsville Police Sgt. Tracy Wyant.
The bullet went through a wall and struck the 28-year- old man while he was in the bathroom.
"After the gun was fired, both the roommate and Paul heard a scream," Wyant said.
The victim was taken to a local hospital in serious condition. He was later upgraded to stable condition. Alcohol was involved in the incident, Wyant said.
During an ensuing search of the house, officers found a 13-year-old girl hiding in a basement closet, Wyant said. The girl told police she had sneaked out of her house without her father's knowledge to see Kunzler, according to a jail report.
After further questioning, investigators learned Kunzler and the 13-year-old had been having a relationship for four months. The two had met through a common friend, Wyant said.
It was not known Wednesday whether any of Kunzler's three housemates were aware of the relationship.
As an afterthought, that last statement of the story seems to indicate that maybe there was yet another “housemate” somewhere? If there was another roommate, do you suppose he was out trying to get more liquor?
OK. In all honesty and to reduce any possible insult to the citizens of Utah, Harry Reid is NOT a Senator from that state. Harry is from Nevada. What with the horrendous unemployment in that state, with Reid as the Senate Majority Leader, that is a whole different story.
