Man Shot Dead over Heaven and Hell Argument

July 30
— GODLEY, Texas (Reuters) - An argument over who was going to heaven and who was going to hell ended with one Texas man shooting another to death with a shotgun, police said on Monday.

Johnny Joslin, 20 was allegedly shot by Clayton Frank Stoker, 21, on Sunday. The two had spent Saturday with two other men night bar hopping in Fort Worth, about 40 miles northeast of Godley.

Johnson County Sheriff Bob Alford said a witness who was the designated driver for the group told police the four men were sitting at a table outside a trailer park after their night on the town and entered into an argument about religion. The talk became heated when the subject turned to who would go to heaven and who would go to hell.

Stoker said he would settle the argument and went into a house and returned with a shotgun, which he loaded and placed in his mouth, Alford said the witness reported.

"The victim Joslin then took the gun out of Stokers mouth, saying, 'If you have to shoot somebody, shoot me,'" Alford said, citing the witness report.

The shotgun went off, hitting Joslin in the chest and killing him.

Stoker, a Johnson County corrections officer, has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder, Alford said.





And it happened in GODLEY, Texas!

WOW!

Thanks, DEB:) . I try never to mix alcohol AND posting about "THE BIG GUY".............too dangerous a combination:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: ........

[NHAnn]

YIKES!!!!

With guns and alcohol involved, I wonder if it really mattered WHAT they were arguing about.

[glo]

That is sad :(

[Ricola]

uh-oh.....

an "ahem" post.

Are you sure those are allowed?

[ILUVDXL]

Unless it's someone I'm very close to, I always avoid conversations on politics and religon. People's opinons on the matter can be very passionate and I know many a good friend who have gone their separate ways because of aguments over these subject. Thank heaven no one's killed the other over it.

[fireplug]

Eros, This is the kind of thread you can really get foamed up about. Let your voice be heard.;)

Steve

PS: Post all you want on this one and leave some of the threads about children alone for awhile . PLEASE;)

[6_Time_Momma]

Well, that certainly makes it clear that there is no God!!!

[nativetxn]

[Jeff in BigD]

LOL, Jeff:) . Of course, you know that I NEVER back down from a debate. I'll just have to remember to bring my .45 semi-auto to any "GODLY" discussions in Texas;) ;) ;) ;) .........

LOL. Just don't get caught with that smoking gun. They're always willing to let folks ride the light'nun down here. ;)

Of course this did happen over in Fort Worth. They still have a bit of the wild west mentality over there. Dallas is a little more cosmopolltan, a lot more like "diet Texas" & is different from a lot of the state in most ways except politics.

[NHAnn]

At the risk of "ruining" EROS' reputation ;) fireplug, I noticed on at least a couple of threads this morning he posted very short positive "thinking of you" in regular size letters- even a HUG.
:D

[fireplug]

NHAnn, maybe we are wearing him down. :p
But you are right he does almost have human like qualities today:rolleyes:

Steve

[EROS]

Fireplug, NHAnn...............do I look human to you????:confused: :confused: :confused: .......

Child? Probably not. Doritos? Doubtful. Ice cold beer? Well, maybe not ice cold, but I highly doubt that anyone of the bavarian persuasion has never enjoyed the pure liquid joy of barley & hops :)

[snowwhitemom]

Thats why we are not allowed to discuss religon at work and trust me I'm in the bible belt. Thats so sad, sorry to hear it happened.:(
