Man shoots arrow into suspect's buttock, Wash. police say

In Kelso, Wash., a man with a compound bow interrupted an apparent break-in at a vacant house and chased a suspect for three blocks before finally shooting the guy in the behind with an arrow, police say.

Why is it that all the strange Washington stories are in Kelso?

I won't be surprised if the shooter is charged.

This is not all that different from shooting a fleeing thief in the back with a gun.

The shooter wasn't in fear for his life, so according to the rules of engagement, he can't use deadly force. And an arrow is pretty deadly.

Not saying I fully agree, but it is what the law says.

I shot an arrow into the arse
It fell to the earth, On a guy named Lars

(Okay, YOU try to rhyme arse with anything if you think you're so smart.)

I shot an arrow in the air and really hoped the burglars butt was bare.

Best I can do JJ.

I shot an arrow straight into his crack,
It was a little high, I aimed for his sack.

I shot my arrow into his bun,
I laughed as he squealed, shoot, that was fun.

I shot my arrow into his gluteus,
As bowshots go, that one was beauteous.

Tip your bartenders and waitresses!

(standing ovation for all)
Although, of course, no one did rhyme with arse, as was the challenge. ;)

I shot an arrow up the burglar's arse,
He yelped, slipped and fell, between two cars...

Should that be "carse"? I'm tryin' rox!

Thanks JJ! You da man!

[roxorz]

Haha I like that one! How about...

Putting an end to this robber farce
I struck an arrow into his arse.

Yeah? Hmmm maybe...

Longfeller genius awards to doggy and rox.

I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, who has sight so keen and strong
That it can follow the flight of song?

Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Thanks for the entertainment, y'all.
