DALLAS (AP) - Police in a Dallas suburb say a man trying to rob a house
accidentally shot himself after kicking down the door and died in the driveway.
Grand Prairie police say the body of 19-year-old Cameron Sands was found
outside the house early Tuesday.
Police Lt. John Brimmer says the evidence indicates Sands shot himself while
trying to pull the gun from his waistband. He then dropped the gun and ran
until he collapsed.
Sands was wounded in the stomach. The medical examiner's office has ruled
his death accidental.
I don't really care if this story is true. I just like it. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Gun,
ReplyDeleteYour friend, John Farnam, was a few years ago subpoenaed to testify on behalf of Glock in a similar event.
It seems that the brother of a woman, who brought the lawsuit against Glock, was on parole when he broke into a house. Among the items stolen was a Glock pistol. When the sister learned of the robbery she persuaded her brother to re-enter the house and return the ill gotten gains. While in the process of doing so our hero managed to shoot himself, dead, with said pistol.
For whatever reason common sense prevailed and the woman's lawsuit was dismissed.
what a wonderful story...a real reason to be cheerful!
ReplyDeleteGuys, are you noting just a hint of *sarcasm* here.
ReplyDeleteSilly woman. Totally clueless.
That was my first reaction also. But after hitting her profile and clicking a blog link, I'm inclined to take her at her word.
ReplyDeleteFrom her blog 'South Africa Sucks':
"This blog chronicles the slide of a once magnificent, thriving First World country into that of a crime ravaged, Stalinist turd world hell hole!"
Personally, I feel more guilt for what we as Americans did to White South Africa than I'll ever feel for black slavery in this country. Particularly since early ancestors of mine arrived here in chains as indentured servants. And no, I don't want any fucking reparations.
Word (meaning you took the "word" right out of my mouth!) on America's contribution to the demise of South Africa. Shamed.
ReplyDeleteDark Raven, If I misunderstood, I stand corrected. And I grieve with you for the loss of your once-beautiful country.
