WICHITA, Kan. — A botched kidnapping ended with one of the assailants shooting himself in the groin, police said.

The man had just stuck the gun in his waistband when it fired, shooting him in the left testicle, authorities said. He cringed, causing the gun to fire again and strike him in the left calf, they said.

Does this qualify for half a Darwin award, or does the poor slob get the whole prize?

What are the odds of a lowlife shooting his BB sized testicle without even aiming the gun?

So what kind of gun can discharge itself not once but again?
This sounds like something a gun-control person would write.
I checked the full story on the site, but I don't buy it.

We're going to keep posting it until he gets the other one, they say most criminals are repeat offenders.

A half of a Darwin is applicable here. Had he not cringed as much and shot his right testicle as well, he would qualify for the full Dawin award. He's just a nutter.

Nah, he still has one left. If both are shot, he becomes nutless.

He definitely gets the whole prize. What an idiot. It's not often you see victims of a traumatic experience like a kidnapping walk away at the end of the ordeal laughing their @sses off.

He would have to have shot a two-fer to win the Darwin award.

I'm amazed he took the gun out during the walk to the ER. How did he stop from cringing on the second shot?
