So his Ronald just that good a shot or did he get ludicrously lucky (both in the marksmanship sense and the “didn’t actually hit one of the kids” sense).
And I will also be disappointed if this doesn’t result in Rick beating the piss out of Ronald. Gun or no, he just shot at his son (and his own daughter).
Now I’m remeberng what Vicky said a few strips ago. Think she’ll act on it after this? Also uh Rick, he shot at your son and his friends, ya gonna stand for that?
Even if a bullet hadn’t hit them (Thankfully it didn’t!) The fall from that height could at the best case cripple someone for life!! Five bucks says Vicky will be gunning for Ronalds ass for this!!!
While it’s good to see Rick has standards, it’s still a bit worrisome that he only refused to shoot because it’s HIS son up there, rather than because shooting live rounds at unarmed kids is a monstrously evil action in general. Would he still have refused if it had only been Joel, Steve, and Jocelyn up there?
Ghost: “You’d shoot your own daughter? That’s fucked up.”
Yes, but just about the least surprising thing to happen.
JIMENOPOLIX: “If this doesn’t get him canceled, nothing will.
(Then again, given our political situation in our modern time…)”
This take place in the early to mid-Nineties, which is the last that Republican-leaning voters showed any real concern over who they were voting for. Yeah, looking back, maybe we should have given Bush Mark 1 another chance over a middle-aged Fonzie-type, but that still outruns a puppet-ruler who was convinced he was doing great followed by “Mr. Potter if he was more concerned for his public image”.
Proceeds to shoot minors in front of a crowd, not to mention in front of one of those kids’ dad.
It’s good to know Rick has standards, and he better not just stay there and let Ron shoot at the kids, especially when his is up there.
And Phyllis better hear about this and think really hard about what this “Christian” of a father is doing and if it’s moraly correct or not.
If this doesn’t get him canceled, nothing will.
(Then again, given our political situation in our modern time…)
Okay, that’s it. Ronald didn’t just cross the line, he fucking torpedoed over it full steam ahead. And thank god Rick showed he had standards. Somebody put Ronald in a damn straitjacket already. This man makes Deb of all people look sane in comparison, and that says a lot considering how hoiler than thou Deb is.
I guess calling this arc “The Fall of the House of Stafford” would’ve given the game away too soon?
Jocelyn: Sorry guys, if I knew this was the day Ronald would finally shoot me I would have invited you guys along.
I hope this is on camera and it’s portrayed in a negative light.

This is gonna be the one that bleeds into the Sunday strip, isn’t it?

Holy shit!
Ok I’m going to break the rules of reality and go into the comic and beat Ronald up with full blown toon force!
@MegaJar: The thought about Rick shooting Joel, Steve and Jocelyn if Aaron wasn’t there, I mean.
@MegaJar: That is a really terrifying thought.

Ronald’s gonna be mighty surprised when the town’s two cops drag him off…
If this doesn’t end with the crowd demanding Ronald’s head on a pike or his ass in jail, that whole town is doomed.

Oh, hopefully this means that the title for this arc means what I think it means…
This may finally bury him, but I’m not discounting the stupidity of his voters just yet.
“I can’t look bad in front of my voters!”

He is more than prepared to shoot at kids, including his own daughter.
@Red Rain: Jessica, Allie and even Russell were all nuts as demonstrated in their respective time, but now Ronald did the unthinkable for sure!
Phyllis, let this shine some light on just how out there Ronald really is…and good on you Rick, least you got common sense where it counts
And, as soon as Phyllis finds out, she’s gonna go all “love thy neighbor” on Ron’s ass and divorce…nah,…ANNULMENT hearings will soon begin!
@Hewhoimagines It’s Rick’s gun. Why wouldn’t it be loaded? Though it’s good to see who actually has the moral high ground here.
So, is noone going to ask why the gun is even loaded in the first place?
Shit just got real.
Fuck Ronald.
@FireballDragon, Ronald’s not going to. The man’s a fucking narcissistic psychopath.
Okay, that’s it. Ronald didn’t just cross the line, he fucking torpedoed over it full steam ahead. And thank god Rick showed he had standards. Somebody put Ronald in a damn straitjacket already.

Ooooh no… he goin’ to jail…
If he doesn’t show any remorse for this later on, I wish him a slow and painful death.
– Doesn’t want to look bad in front of voters.
– Shoots at kids.
Ron’s gonna go bye bye for sure.
Attempted murder in front of an entire audience. Yeah, dude’s fucked
Congratulations Rick, you’ve officially redeemed yourself… more or less 🤣
You’d shoot your own daughter? That’s fucked up.
