We’ve had almost too many stupid pandemic MFers in the news to count, but Dr. William Makis deserves a shout-out for the latest idiocy.
Earlier this year there was a disturbance in the antivax Force involving a flurry of attention to the “sudden unexplained” deaths of Three Young Canadian Doctors in a week, purportedly due to Covid-19 vaccination. It mattered not at all to these shit-for-brains that all of these docs had pre-existing serious chronic illnesses (in one case, advanced cancer) and that two of them were actually elderly.
Since jackass memes never die in Antivax-World, the latest wrinkle (thanks to Makis) is that no fewer than 80 Young Canadian Doctors who were vaccinated against Covid-19 have died during the pandemic. As you may notice from one of the Substack Shitheads flogging this story, an unusual definition of “young” once again applies. Beyond that, alert readers (in short supply on Substack) will notice that while the chronicle of deaths runs from 2019 to 2022, Covid-19 vaccines did not actually come into use in Canada until December of 2020, so it’s impossible for the vaccines to have caused many of those deaths.
One must admire the explanation given by Makis for why middle-aged and elderly practitioners were included in a list of “young” doctors. You see, according to this yahoo, most doctors practice into their 60s and 70s and therefore are “young”.
You can’t make up stuff this bull goose loony.
Truly, Substack is the definition of a wretched hive of scum and quackery.
Well, here’s something that you might only see in the midwest. He probably thought there might be some cornholing going on, and the young’uns might need some pertekshun against the liberal perverts.
Bringing a gun to a family venue should be grounds for arrest, but instead we allow this to continue in this country.
Came close to shooting himself in the foot. An “accidental” discharge in public should be an automatic revocation of his permit. If he could have that happen from just bending over, the gun was not properly carried/secured.
Or he found a cornmaze full of children a perfect place to play with his weapon.
My first thought. He must have had it cocked, but not locked (or the safety was released through normal movements), both of which define stupid in this case.
The incident occurred about 11:40 a.m. Saturday at the Twin Cities Maze, 109th Avenue and Hwy. 169, police said. The gun was on Keenan’s hip when it went off while he was at a corn pit where people play, Faust said.
“The victim was bending over at the waist and was removing corn from his boot when the firearm he was carrying discharged into his upper leg,” the inspector said.
Faust said that not all handguns have safety mechanisms, and did not know whether Keenan’s gun had one. He said police are trying to determine how the gun went off.
Is it like a ball pit only filled with corn?
In any event, unless he was carrying a replica of an antique firearm, it had a safety – probably not engaged. So he could shoot faster if he came across an idiot… and found one.
I don’t think I’ve seen a revolver with a safety. I’m sure there must be some that do have them, but none of mine have safeties in the sense of something you can turn on and off. My modern revolvers have transfer bars that don’t come up until the trigger is pulled.
True, but if he’s carrying a revolver on his hip in a way where he can accidentally shoot himself in the leg while bending over, he’s doing it wrong.
Also, the article says the man claims the safety was engaged anyway. Whether or not he’s telling the truth about that, the handgun did have one and he has no business carrying a firearm since he clearly can’t carry one safely.
