People have to learn that adding a /sarc to a profound statement helps.

Just proves you can never really be friends with a cat!

“ The woman, who a witness said had been drinking”

For some reason alcohol causes people to play with guns 🤪

“...I think she was probably trying to get the cat to climb the guy’s leg.”

Hope she didn’t hurt the cat. Makes you wonder if the guy even knew the thing was loaded. It was his gun.

IMO, the guitar solos in the original Chicago album is almost obviously the inspiration for Hendrix’s Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock.

<>And why was it loaded in that situation. Kinda reminds me of Terry Kath.

I think I heard the story go the magazine was out but there was one in the pipe, not sure. Chicago was known for shooting guns on their ranch, horseback riding too.

Yep. And he was BIG into guns. There is actually a documentary about him (produced and directed by his daughter) and the band in general on Amazon Prime. Very interesting.

BTW, a few months ago my brother was doing something with one of my now deceased dad’s pistols and he blew a hole in the dining room table and the side of the house.

One in the pipe...

The gun had been handled previously by a “gun expert” he’s been consulting so he just “assumed” there was nothing in the pipe. Honestly, this also makes me question the “expert”.

I just read the story. It was stupidity all around.

Good thing they didn’t try to play Russian roulette. :)

yes, that’s where I saw it. It ends with his daughters wedding and her new step dad - Kiefer Sutherland.

I’ve given up trying to figure out these things. Years ago, a guy that worked part time at a local LGS was giving his dad a .357 revolver for Father’s Day. In handing it to him, he somehow managed to pull the trigger, blowing most of one his fingers off, and shooting himself in the thigh. Supposedly a knowledgeable gun guy.

Actually Jashanti Pleasant, your typical Anglo-Saxon name. 😎

AP purposely withheld the name because it didn't fit the narrative.

Great detective work, thanks!

Why? Makes perfect sense. Idiot that has been debarred gun ownership gives loaded gun to underage drunk chick. (I’m sure all he was thinking about was getting her naked.)Drunk chick thinks it would be funny if the cat climbed this guys leg. Points laser at leg, pulls trigger. Guy retreats to assess how much trouble he’s in.

Idiots Rule.

I had to search to find her name. Deshanti Pleasant. Probably not a Swiss name.

Probably not pleasant, either.

Yep. All intentional. They are stupid, because when they don’t provide me with details, I simply assume the worst. I’ve been conditioned to assume the worst, because that has been my experience. So when they leave everthing anonymous in a crime story, I simply assume the perp is black. That is not fair and it may not be true all the time, but that is how I have been conditioned by their attempt to hide the truth. So it has backfired on them bigly.

Some things are so blatantly and obviously sarcastic that I think no tag is needed. I’m often wrong about that.

True that however ..... some things can be construed as being true.

As for me, my sarcasm is so convincing that people actually think I'm an idiot.
