Man shoots wife while drilling hole in wall
Not RO, just a good head-shaking.
This isn’t a gun-control thread either. This man is clearly too stupid to be trusted with anything more dangerous than string.
“too” dumb to recognize the error in title*
** I only post corrections like this when the error makes it funny IMHO. So, hope you take it in good stride.
From the article:
Maybe I’m just more mentally gifted than these officials, but isn’t this textbook manslaughter? How can you argue he wasn’t reckless while shooting a friggin gun through a wall with someone inside?
Looks like I’m six or seven minutes too late to rank on the OP. Oh, well… wring is too quick on the draw.
You’re absolutely right about the head-shaking thing. What an idiot. Who’s first thought when confronted with a home improvement project that requires a tool they don’t own is “I’ll just use my pistol!”
/boggle
Hey, it worked. Hole was made. 
Minor nitpick: The shooter was inside, and claimed he thought everyone else was.
Not going to argue that his choice of hole-making implement was severely flawed.
It sounds like something from those “you might be a redneck if…” lists.
So—did he get his satellite hookup installed? How good does it work?
Whether the prosecutor chooses to arraign this yutz, or not, I think we can safely award him the title of Moron of the Week.
That’s “Widower Moron of the Week”.
“Joey: Oh! Sorry… did I get you?
Chandler: NO, you didn’t Get me! It’s an electric drill! You Get me, you Kill me!”
Is it wrong that this was the first thing I thought of when I read the OP? And yes, I know he shot her, not drilled her. Same principle, basically.
:smack:
Gahh! I sure had that one coming.
ETA: I suppose I could fix it by using a pistol to shoot a hole in my screen, thus making another “o”.
Hand-operated drills are really, really cheap.
Pretty sweet, until he loses the remote. Those buttons on the console make for real small targets.
Let me get this straight, the moron was shooting a hole from the inside out?, as in, bullets flying out in the street? He hit his wife, could had been a neighbour, the pizza boy, anyone walking past.
I guess he didn´t want to damage any of his precious property inside the house. :rolleyes:
Don´t worry, I know for a fact that the idiot is in Deepwater.
I don’t think this will get a Darwin Award because it was an innocent bystander. Too bad. Maybe they could make a new Associate Prize, given to the mate who was married to the dumbass who pulled this stunt. Dispatching the wife at least temporarily removed his ability to multiply, therefore reducing the risk to the gene pool.
This guy will serve a few years in jail then get out. Then, of course he’ll find some woman to marry him. Then they’ll have to decide what to put in their wedding gift registry—Black & Decker or Smith & Wesson.
After all, a man never knows when he’ll need to drill a hole.
So does this qualify for a Darwin? I mean the guy can’t breed anymore. sort of
I’ve figured out the defense-his wife asked for it.
Patsy: Did ya feed that wire through, yet?
Ronald: No! Can’t get the damn drill to make a hole.
Patsy: Well, shoot!
Ronald (confused): Well, ok. BAM!
:eek:
