NorthSideSox72 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Apparently, he had trouble getting a hole into the wall of his trailer. So he decided to start firing bullets into it. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlliniKrush Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I call bulls***. Seriously, no way someone can be that stupid, as well as do it with people in the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or 9/10 blacks? 9/10 Jews? 9/10 Asians? 9/10 women?

NorthSideSox72 Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 I honestly don't know why I said trailer - other than maybe I couldn't believe a little .22 could actually pierce the full outside wall of a real house and still kill someone. Must be some really thin walls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be some really thin walls. Don't get me wrong, NS. I don't think you intended any malice. Just making a point. It may be an old house without insulation and old, brittle drywall / plaster. I'd like to know what else he was trying to use that he was so unsuccessful to try a gun as a last resort??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think you're overestimating the intelligence of the kind of person who would think of using a gun for this purpose at all if you're thinking it was a last resort.

Probably, but the story made it seem that way. I wonder if Comcast will use this is their next sattellite bashing commercial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if I offended anyone, I apologize. It appears I made an assumption, and I am not sure why, other than maybe the thin walls - but its a bit embarrassing.
