Prosecutors said surveillance video shows McGary arriving at the station in his car and then going inside where he saw the victim. McGary allegedly went back to his car, moved it to the other side of the station, got out, pulled his hoodie over his head, donned a COVID mask, and put something into his waistband. When the victim left the store and got into his van, McGary walked up and pointed a gun to his face, and demanded everything he had, prosecutors said. The victim leaned back at the exact moment that McGary fired a bullet at him, according to prosecutors. The round grazed the victims eyebrow and blew out one of the vans windows. With that, the victim fought back. He grabbed McGarys gun and both men fell to the ground in a fight during which McGarys hoodie and mask came loose revealing his face and hair for the stations surveillance cameras, prosecutors said. The victim allegedly disarmed McGary and threw the gun. McGary dropped his phone, ran to his car, and sped away, according to the allegations. Police tracked McGary down using his license plate number, the phone he allegedly left behind, and the gas stations surveillance footage. Cops also recovered a handgun at the scene. Prosecutors charged him with aggravated battery by discharging a firearm, armed robbery by discharging a firearm, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, and motor vehicle violations. At the time of the alleged robbery, McGary was on bond for felony fleeing and eluding. He was released after posting a $500 deposit in that case. After hearing the new robbery and shooting allegations, Judge Arthur Willis ordered McGary held without bail.  
 DearWebby's Tech Support Pits  From: Ella Re: Bouncing spam  Dear Webby I have always been bouncing spam back at the sender, but now my daughter told me that you had written once that was a dumb idea. She couldn't remember the details, though, and told me to write you myself. So, what's the story with bouncing spam? Ella  Dear Ella The only email to bounce is when your mother-in-law writes that she will come for an uninvited but extended visit. Spammers never use their own address as the sender address, and often they even forge the recipient's address as the sender address. Not all, but some spammers use a collector address to catch all the bounces. They can tell if the mail was bounced by a spam control program. A fake bounce to them is confirmation that the address works, and they sell it as "guaranteed live". Except for the one exception mentioned above, bouncing does not work in your favor. Have FUN!

 Murphy had been drinking at the pub all night. The bartender finally said that the bar is closing. So Murphy stood up to leave fell flat on his face. He tried to stand one more time; same result. He figured he'll crawl outside and get some fresh air and maybe that would sober him up. Once outside, he stood up and fell on his face again. So he decided to crawl the four blocks home. When he arrived at the door he stood up and fell flat on his face. He managed to crawl through the door and into his bedroom. When he reached his bed he tried one more time to stand up. This time he managed to pull himself upright, but he quickly fell right into the bed and was sound asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. He was awakened the next morning to his wife standing over him, shouting,"SO YOU'VE BEEN DRINKING AGAIN!" Putting on an innocent look, and intent on bluffing it out he said, "What makes you say that?" "The pub just called; you left your wheelchair there again!"

 "The young army doctor was stationed at a remote dispensary in the South Pacific. One day he was puzzled about treatment for one of his patients. He radioed a base hospital: 'Have case of beriberi. What shall I do?' A prankster got hold of the message. This was the reply: 'Give it to the Marines. They'll drink anything.' ____________________________________________ Two women were at a bar. One looked at the other and said, "You know, 80 percent of all men think the best way to end a fight is to make love." "Well," said the other, "that would certainly revolutionize hockey!" ____________________________________________ Thanks to Liz for this story: I pulled into a crowded parking lot and rolled down the car windows to make sure my Labrador Retriever had fresh air. She was stretched out on the back seat, and I wanted to impress upon her that she must remain there. I walked to the curb backward, pointing my finger at the car and saying emphatically, "Now you stay. Do you hear me? Stay!" The driver of a nearby car gave me a startled look. "I don't know about you, lady," he said incredulously. "But I usually just put my car in park." ____________________________________________
