Even better; NY Man Rips Own Head Off

[sniper7]

Seems like an odd way to go about things. He couldn't just down a bottle of sleeping pills with a fifth of whiskey?

How was that going to help him jack up his shitty vehicle?

Hunts Point-He probably owed somebody money and got off easy....

This brings up a good point- it could be a faked suicide, since it's so odd... since it's so gruesome, and it seems easy to stage.

I hope he was wearing his set belt.

I can't believe no one has said it yet...

"Pics or it didn't happen."

I'll +3 that especially for the location. Compstat has turned a lot of murders into suicides in the big cities. A LOT. Well, and we can't even blame it all on comstat. I've heard a couple good ones over there in Fremont too.... Haven't validated those two stories myself though.

This is of a nature though that someone easily could easily gas the car for him... There would probably be witnesses though which is the only thing in his factor. But, a lot of witnesses in places like that "don't see nuthin'"

There have been some that were suspicious.. also had a neighbor that used to be connected in Pueblo- and he advised their current M.O. when they want somebody gone is to set them up for a sex offense- get an underage girl to accuse them... Jurys tend to convict just based on the horror of the crime, and will look past a lack of evidence. Being convicted and labelled as a sex offender is a fate worse than death.

If that fails, then fake suicide has the bonus of the next of kin not getting any insurance policy payout.

A fitting use of a CRV

Likely the first time a CRV has ever pulled anything with authority.

If I had to drive a freakin CRV I would probably do the same.

I was gonna call bullshit on this one... everyone knows a CRV doesn't have that kind of power...

If it saves only one head, wouldn't it be worth it?

I thought it brought new meaning to "Gave some head"

I'd agree with you, but it depends on the slack in the chain... even a 2500# POS with no power has a bit of kinetic energy with some slack...

I pulled vehicles that were stuck in a ditch out with a 2WD '79 Dodge D50 (re-badged Mistubishi)... the secret was the tow rope made out of 1" nylon rope... it stretched and then yanked them out... I'd be doing around 10mph by the time I hit the end of the slack...

made me good money, I'd bet them $50 I could get them out... I never lost, wouldn't take on lost causes- and that was late '80s dollars!
