Apparently they wanted him to be identifiable. They don’t appear to have touched the face aside from a couple through the jaw.
Hasn’t that picture been around for years?
Nail-gun Control NOW!!!
I’m guessing a Paslode strip-nailer firing D-heads.
But you couldn’t use such a bulky nailer on someone without them either being comatose or held down. This sounds like a team effort.
galvanized, I hope.
Stig, I’ve been told Dinsdale Piranha nailed your head to the floor.
No, no. Never, never. He was a smashing bloke. He used to give his mother flowers and that. He was like a brother to me.
But the police have film of Dinsdale actually nailing your head to the floor.
Oh yeah, well - he did that, yeah.
Why?
Well he had to, didn’t he? I mean, be fair, there was nothing else he could do. I mean, I had transgressed the unwritten law.
What had you done?
Er... Well he never told me that. But he gave me his word that it was the case, and that’s good enough for me with old Dinsy. I mean, he didn’t want to nail my head to the floor. I had to insist. He wanted to let me off. There’s nothing Dinsdale wouldn’t do for you.
That would leave a pounding headache.
Wonder how the roofers will take it when nail guns are banned.
Assuming there are some non-vital areas? That'd be news to me.
Hopefully his tetnus shots were current.
The truly nailed it
I hope they nail the guy that did this!
Beyond the snark, this is a good lesson about “gun control” in the UK. Point is, taking away guns from law-abiding citizens will NOT reduce the murder rate. Criminals will either get firearms, or will substitute things like nail guns and blunt instruments. Point is, LAWS DON’T KEEP CRIMINALS FROM COMMITTING CRIMES. They’re CRIMINALS. Proscecution and execution of murderers has been PROVEN to reduce the murder rate. That, and and armed citizenry. What’s the murder rate in Switzerland?
I understand the American Congress has reacted swiftly and decisively. They proposed legislation requiring that each "nail" intended for use in domestically manufactured nail guns be chemically etched or otherwise inscribed with the following information:
Manufactures’ Name
Address (no Post Office Boxes allowed)
Federal Tax ID Number
CEO's Name
Address (no Post Office Box allowed)
Date of manufacture
Nails that must be manually hammered into skulls are not currently affected by the proposed legislation. Some Congressman want further studies as they see this as a possible “loophole” around the proposed legislation.
In addition, a prohibition of all future sales of "semi-automatic" nail guns is proposed. Only ”single shot, manual loading” nail guns approved by the government’s Department of Weights and Measures are allowed. Hammers do not appear to be affected by the proposed legislation. Again, some Congressmen see this as a possible “loophole”.
One Congressman was quoted saying, “we intend to nip this in the bud before it becomes epidemic”. Another Congressman noted that he felt they had nailed down any possible further abuse with nail guns.
The President indicated he would sign the legislation after the obligatory five days notice on the Internet.
Talk about getting nailed.
When guns are outlawed, murderers get inventive!
