He Put on a Bulletproof Vest and Asked a Friend to Shoot Him. She Missed Her Mark.
The Blaze ^ | 15 May 2014 | Dave Urbanski

Blake Randall Wardell, 25, was congregating with friends in a house’s garage in the wee hours of the morning when he donned a bulletproof vest. Then Wardell asked his 18-year-old friend Taylor Ann Kelly to shoot him, according to the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office in South Carolina.

Kelly complied. But the small-caliber bullet hit above the kevlar portion of the vest and then went into Wardell’s heart, killing him, Anderson County Deputy Coroner Don McCown told WYFF-TV in Greenville.

CPR was being attempted on Wardell when authorities arrived at the scene about 2:40 a.m; EMS personnel confirmed Wardell was dead.

2:40 am....alcohol must have been involved. What was he doing with a vest in the first place?

She’s got a good sized cranium. Maybe she’s a genius.

I am blaming demon rum...

Never heard of it. Is that a particular brand?

I’m fond of black rums myself which generally have a calming effect very unlike tequila.

Good point. I'll give them "half"... but damn. We've "tested" Kevlar before... but NEVER wearing the stuff! The stupidity is just mind blowing.

Her eyes are just dead; utterly devoid of soul or feeling.

When I look at her picture I am reminded of William Faulkner's description of the criminal "Popeye" in the first chapter of his book Sanctuary...

His face had a queer, bloodless color, as though seen by electric light; against the sunny silence, in his slanted straw hat and his slightly akimbo arms, he had that vicious depthless quality of stamped tin...

Popeye's eyes looked like rubber knobs, like they'd give to the touch and then recover with the whorled smudge of the thumb on them.

At least if he were politically inattentive before, he's now a die-hard demoncrat voter for all of eternity.

This incident is indicative of sheeple nation. She was just following orders, no matter how dangerous, bizarre, or moronic. No need to think about what could go wrong, she just shot the idiot because he asked her to do that.

Don't question destructive behavior, just do it. As for productive, morally upright endeavors:

What are the odds she would have become righteously indignant if someone had instead asked her to... do some work?

On the bright side, the guy would have been just as dead if he had asked her to do his laundry.
