State Guardsman injured in South Carolina

by Jonn Lilyea••7

Charles sends us a link to an article about a State Guardsman in South Carolina who was hit by an angry 73-year-old man driving his car during the state of emergency last week. According to the story, Charles Kauffman intentionally struck Guardsman Bob Kuenzli while Kuenzli was directing traffic. Kauffman has been charged with attempted murder.

It looks like the reporter correctly identified Kuenzli as a State Guardsman, but the editor changed the headline to make him a National Guardsman;

State Guard

The State Guard is a completely volunteer organization and is in no way shape or form part of the military. The South Carolina State Guard is one of the tools a governor has to help maintain order in her state. It looks like Mr. Kuenzli is indeed a veteran of the actual military, but he doesn’t appear in AKO or the global directory. I don’t blame him or the reporter – the URL shows that when the reporter submitted the story to the editor, he wrote that Kuenzli is a State Guardsman.

We hope that Mr. Kuenzli recovers quickly from his wounds and that Mr. Kauffman gets his just desserts.

  1. “We hope that Mr. Kuenzli recovers quickly from his wounds and that Mr. Kauffman gets his just desserts enjoys Tiny and Bubba serving him “Frosted breakfast buns” on a daily basis….. ifyoukonwwhatImeanandIthinkyoudo….

    2. Looks like his menu choices in the local “pound him in the ass” facility will be cockmeat sammiches (with extra manmayo) or tube steak (smothered in nutbutter).

      “Bon Appetite, Bytch!!!”

  2. Minor quibble: It’s “deserts” even though it’s pronounced like “desserts.”

    It occurs in Shakespeare’s Richard III:

    “She may do more, sir, than denying that.
    She may help you to many fair preferments
    And then deny her aiding hand therein,
    And lay those honors on your high deserts…”

    i.e., you can try to claim you got the promotions due to merit, but it’s really nepotism.

    And again:

    “Definitively thus I answer you.
    Your love deserves my thanks; but my desert
    Unmeritable shuns your high request.”

    i.e., thanks for the offer, but I don’t deserve it.

    But I wish the same thing as you for this piece of trash.

  3. Actually 3 or 4 people defending this Kaufman guy saying he could have had hearing problems and the audience is judging by knee jerk reactions. He ran over a guy….come on. Then sped off after doing it.
