A man with the unusual name Loony Toon and a lengthy rap sheet has been given 20 years in prison after admitting that he shot at police officers in Oregon, according to authorities.

The 43-year-old whose name calls to mind the classic television cartoon franchise Looney Tunes – as well as a colloquial term some invoke when describing an eccentric or irrational person – fired a gun at three officers while speeding away from a 20 June 2025 traffic stop in the community of Milwaukie, local prosecutors said in a statement on Thursday.


Loony John Franklin Kolb Toon was on probation in connection with a first-degree attempted kidnapping charge at the time, the Clackamas county district attorney’s office said in its statement. He subsequently abandoned his car, ran on to a golf course and eluded authorities until they arrested him about 20 miles (30km) away in the city of Sandy, Oregon, four days later.

Prosecutors thereafter charged Toon with attempted first-degree assault with a firearm, illegal use and possession of a gun, and second-degree escape. He agreed to plead guilty on Thursday to those charges as well as outstanding, unrelated ones in four other counties – purportedly in exchange for a single 20-year prison sentence.

Toon must also pay restitution to both Milwaukie’s municipal government for damaging a police cruiser and the owner of a car that he struck with bullets, the district attorney’s office said.

Some Milwaukie police officers who were involved in that confrontation with Toon attended the hearing at which he pleaded guilty and was sentenced. They declined to make any statements when offered the opportunity, and so did Toon, the office said.

The office noted that Toon’s criminal history includes 25 convictions, including for 16 felonies.

Rebecca Wareham Portlock, the Clackamas deputy district attorney, said in a statement that the latest of those convictions for Toon stemmed from “incredibly dangerous” actions.

Toon that day “showed callous disregard for every single person in his path”, she said.

Milwaukie is a city outside Portland and has a population of about 21,000 people.
 

:lol: this Reddit post..would be funny if that's what the bald guy actually said

"Looks cool, unga unga, me protect wife, but in reality, if he is in a country with any competent legal system, he can get into a lot of trouble, ignoring the fact that the drunk dude could literally die by hitting his head on the ground.

No court will side with you."
 
In 2016, Blake Leibel, son of a Canadian real estate tycoon and a Hollywood graphic novelist, tortured his Ukrainian fiancée, Iana Kasian, weeks after she gave birth. Prosecutors said he was jealous of the newborn and acted out a scene from his disturbing novel.

Senate Candidate Roasted Over Operative Posting Doctored Image of Him to Make Him Look Buff: ‘What the Absolute F*ck?’​

A Senate candidate running in Michigan was promptly roasted by the internet after a staffer posted an AI-altered image of him with a wildly different physique.

On Tuesday, Abby Ronson — who works in former Rep. Mike Rogers’s campaign — posted a tweet wishing Rogers a happy birthday. Included in the tweet was a photo of the 62-year-old walking in what appeared to be a campaign march. Rogers also appeared to be incredibly muscular.

Keen-eyed X/Twitter users may have noticed an important disclaimer on the tweet. Right under the photo was a message that read, “Made with AI.”

 
 

If the democrats held a 10 second moment of silence to honor Tyler Robinson (alleged Charlie Kirk killer)...... the Republicans would lead that story every hour on the hour.......


These people really are sick. I don't want to hear shit about OJ being a killer, or Karmelo Anthony.....

Derek Chauvin held his knee on that man's neck for over 9 minutes. A large group of Americans and the world saw that video. He was guilty and convicted accordingly. And yet...... here we are 6 years later and they just had to remind us, black lives aren't worth shit
