So, who here remembers Kyle Rittenhouse and the guy with a skateboard? Everyone? Good. How about a woman with a gun who was assaulted by another woman with a pogo stick?

Apparently in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, a dispute broke out in a parking lot between two women. Whatever caused the altercation, it apparently made one of the woman feel she needed to grab the closest bludgeoning weapon at hand — a pogo stick.

The other woman, however, happened to be armed. As wxii12.com wrote . . .

Through investigation, police said several people, including the victim and suspect, were involved in a fight in the parking lot of Glen Circle. [ED: I checked, and much to my surprise there’s no Waffle House nearby.]

During the fight, the victim armed herself with a large metal pogo stick and attacked the suspect, who had a handgun.

The suspect fired one round, hitting the victim in the chest in self-defense, according to police.

It sounds like the “victim” is going to recover, as she was able to speak with police shortly after the incident. Based on their initial investigation, police said no charges would be filed.

Literally anything can be used kill you. So if you’re charged by someone with a “large metal pogo stick,” is a gun the correct use of force? What do you all think?
