Meet 53 y/o Paul Rater (that's his "smug" shot below), an Arizona grandfather who has been arrested for leaving his five (5) y/o granddaughter alone with a loaded and cocked .45 caliber handgun and an instruction to "shoot any bad guys".
Grandpa was booked into Phoenix's Fourth Avenue Jail for two (2) counts of felony child abuse and one (1) count of felony child endangerment.
Per Sheriff's Deputies, grandpa and the child left their home in Buckeye, about 30 miles west of Phoenix, in a pickup truck early on Sunday afternoon and the girl was reported missing about four (4) hours later. Her mother and an off-duty firefighter were able to locate the girl in the desert holding the high powered pistol. The girl reportedly said: "I don't know why papa left me. I was calling out for him. He took me by some bushes, gave me a gun and left me."
Grandpa was located at a store where he reportedly told Sheriff's Deputies that his vehicle had broken down and that he had left his granddaughter under a tree in the desert because she was complaining that she could not walk any more. He reportedly further admitted leaving the girl with his gun "while he went for a few drinks and a cheeseburger."
Per Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio: "She was given the gun and told to shoot any bad guys. I don't know how a five year old can tell a good guy from a bad guy, but that's what she said she was told."
Memo to the Folks: Prior to reading about this selfish, warped douche bag I would have sworn that there is nothing more reliable than a grandparent's love for her/his grandchild. That's been my experience since as long as I can remember (and it sure as Hell is my son's experience... ergo his constant desire to hang with Grandma): "Parent's parent, grandparent's spoil."
Memo to the Folks: That was always the rule. What do you say about this? Where do you even begin? Rater could walk to the restaurant / bar but he couldn't carry his 5 y/o granddaughter? He leaves her under a tree in the Arizona desert? Wtf lives in the Arizona desert? Rattlesnakes? Scorpions? Wolves? And what is a desert anyhow? I think that it is "a barren area of land where little precipitation occurs and consequently living conditions are hostile for plant and animal life" (or so says Webster...). So I guess if you're going to hang under a tree in a desert then having a cocked and loaded .45 is probably a good idea (unless of course you are a 5 y/o girl)...
Memo to Paul Rater: You could give Johnny Knoxville's Bad Grandpa a run for his money. In fact maybe you can make application for the job when Sheriff Joe is done with you. Oh, btw I hope that you like pink...
Memo to Paul Rater continued: Incidentally, while you are biding your time as a guest of the Maricopa County Jail maybe you can get yourself a prison tat as a reminder because...
