@ai6yr is that the guy who said he’d put the safety on next time? Dumbasses keeping loaded guns in their beds are not destined for long lives.

@swart I'm having difficulty understanding folks who are so afraid they keep a loaded gun under their pillow. FFS people. I wonder how often people kill themselves in that kind of situation.

@ai6yr @swart these are all pathetic wasters, going to guess they are single, creepy and entitled.

@Lazarou @swart Here's another one. I only mention it because of "shot himself in the scrotum"

@feonixrift @ai6yr @swart "Foreign beds, coming over the Canadian border!"

@Lazarou @feonixrift @ai6yr a dangerous situation because everyone knows Canadians are good in bed

@swart @Lazarou @feonixrift WAIT, THIS ONE IS BETTER (From March 9th... how often do Americans do things stupid with a gun?)

Police said that the victim, a 50-year-old man who uses a wheelchair, was attempting to kill a cockroach with his shoe.

He took off his shoe and threw it at the bug to kill it, but a revolver he had hidden in the shoe fell to the ground. Upon making contact with the floor, the gun discharged and the bullet hit the victim in the foot."

@losttourist @ai6yr @swart @Lazarou @feonixrift I suspect even by American standards, the kind of man who feels he *needs* to keep a loaded firearm close at all times has done /something/ particularly sketchy in their past life causing them to live constantly in fear..

@vfrmedia @losttourist @ai6yr @swart @feonixrift lead in the water, fuck knows what in the air, multiple rounds of COVID.....there are a lot of very low effort minds out there in the US of A.

@ai6yr @Lazarou @vfrmedia @losttourist @swart :eyes recollections of holes in the kitchen: fairly sure some parts of the no clue train've been a long time coming.
