This is what happens when you get all of the elements of a good news story but have no story to tell.
Thomas Hackbarth, a GOP state representative with a loaded gun parks in a plan parenthood parking lot while he looks for a girl he met online. This sounds like a great story, except:
- He had a permit
- He is in the process of a divorce
- He didn’t know the area or realize where he had parked
- He never found the girl he was looking for
- He told the truth about the situation, no charges were filed and he was given his loaded gun back
