It would have been better for us all, if he had shot his gonads off.

[brutal]

Member?

[sellersm]

Probably one of those trans-able things...

[Zombie Steve]

Just chiming in to confirm that while I've had some doozie ideas in my time, this one wasn't me.

Member?

No...just gonads. [Coffee]

[roberth]

He missed.

[TheGrey]

He should have started with a nail gun, and worked his way up.

[thermobollocks]

Sounds like he didn't want to admit he was doing something stupid, so he's doubling it down with the "I meant to do that" defense. Bold move, Cotton, let's see if it pays off.

[Jamnanc]

My guess is that it hurts.

[CO Hugh]

Can't fix stupid.

[brutal]

He should have started with a nail gun, and worked his way up.

Did anyone ever hear anything more about the guy who "committed suicide" with the nail gun a year or two ago? NW somewhere as I recall, Arvada, Wheatridge, Denver West area perhaps.

[Buff]

That's going to leave a mark.....

[TFOGGER]

Stupid should be painful.

[Irving]

I remember a news sorry from when I was in high school where a young guy wanted to get a tattoo, but felt toy should only get a tattoo if you had some life altering experience to commemorate. Well he didn't have such experience so he decided to jump out of a moving car and died doing so. It was traveling approximately 30 mph I'd I remember correctly.

This is what I was thinking as well.

[BPTactical]

Can't fix stupid.

You can, but it usually is a felony.




I wish some elected officials would lead by example on this one......

[ray1970]

I vote he tries castration next. You know, so he'll know how it feels.

[Bailey Guns]

Can't fix stupid.

Yes, you can. It's just generally illegal.

ETA: I see someone beat me to it.

[GilpinGuy]

THIS REPORT (http://gazette.com/colorado-springs-man-literally-shoots-self-in-foot-police-say/article/1553546) had this:


Hirtle told police he took off his boot, shot it, put it back on and then shot himself in the foot in his garage.

What the hell.....[Whacko]

[MrPrena]

Mental hospital after the hospital would be more suitable for him.

[Irving]

Someone may suggest that this gentlemen make a good decision at least once, just to see how it feels.
