I had to steal my title from the title of this article. I was told many times as a kid to “knock off the Horseplay”, but I never played like these jerks.
Amaon said deputies were called to Faison’s mobile home outside Micro about 10:30 p.m. Saturday and found Billy James “B.J.” Mitchell dead on the floor. Faison and others at the home told deputies that the two men had been drinking and were involved in horseplay, Amaon said. Mitchell lived around the corner from Faison on Ball Park Road.
At one point, Faison flipped Mitchell over, pinned him down and choked him, Amaon said. Mitchell never regained consciousness.
Of course no guns were used, so no “Gun Death”. Still both men were twisted on Alcohol and drugs which probably clouded Faison’s judgement, and possibly hindered Mitchell’s ability to recover. If we ban guns, we can end “Gun Death”, then if we ban alcohol like we do drugs, we won’t have drunken wrestling sessions anymore, right?
He was charged Saturday with drug possession after investigators found crack cocaine in his pocket, Johnston County sheriff’s spokeswoman Tammy Amaon said.
Last I checked, Cocaine was banned…but guns are different, because guns are different!

Yeah, they tried banning alcohol back in the early part of the 20th century. That didn’t stop anyone from getting alcohol if they really wanted it, and the only benefit the country got was…well…Capone, Valentino, and the like. Yay.
If my research is correct it made drinking more popular and social because everybody congrigated in the speakeasies getting drunk.
