Watch a Wannabe Fort Wayne Home Invader Shoot Himself in the Leg
The truth about guns ^ | 28 Jan 2021 | John Block

Posted on 01/29/2021 11:41:34 AM PST by DUMBGRUNT

Everyone loves an exciting story with a happy ending. Today’s gratifying result comes to us from Fort Wayne, Indiana. Earlier this month, at o-dark-thirty, a pair of armed and masked aspiring rocket surgeons tried to kick in the door of a residence. One member of the dynamic duo had his finger on the trigger of his pistol and managed to shoot himself in the thigh with a negligent discharge.

Better yet, Keanu Cook’s lack of trigger and muzzle control were captured by a Ring doorbell camera for posterity.

The genius even got caught at the hospital as he admitted himself due to a gunshot wound, which is an automatic contact the cops process. I still remember Henry Hill from Goodfellas’ saying the Italian mafia had “off-site” doctors who treat gunshot wounds so there wont be a hospital record..

And even bigger genius (from the article)....

Mr. Cook turned up at a hospital not long after the failed home invasion attempt where was delivered into the waiting arms of Fort Wayne’s finest. He told the boys in blue that the break-in was meant to finance the bail he’d need when he turned himself in as there was an existing warrant for his arrest on other charges including illegally carrying a handgun. Go figure.

He told the cops he and his accomplice tried to break in to secure some cash, weed and other “valuable stuff.”

Not everyone was meant to be a Cat Burglar.
Better stay with stealing extra napkins and Sporks at the Dairy Queen.

Back in the day, because I did the photo finishing for one PD, I was treated to the odd funny true crime story.

One was from out of Topeka, which apparently at the time had a high density of convenience stores, and was from the outskirts of town.

A fellow wearing a ski mask and brandishing a gun entered one and demanded the cash. The clerk proclaimed that company policy was to give him everything he wanted and not to even try to look a5 his face. As he emptied the cash drawer he asked if the man wanted him to count it so he would know how much he was getting. He said yeah but then said don’t bother with the change after the quarters had been counted.

At this point the clerk wrote the total down on a gas receipt.

The robber signed it, took his copy and left.

After locking up the clerk called the cops and asked if the guy had a record.

Oh, yeah, long one the cop assured.

Well, I’ve got a signed confession here for armed robbery...

Another victim of “gun violence”. Likely due to Indiana’s (when are they going to rename the state?) lax gun laws. You don’t hear of this sort of thing happening in Illinois.

Maybe the Ring camera/doorbell will become an indispensable source for compiling an archive of Darwin Award nominees. This guy goes to the head of the line.

Could very well be, but he even screwed that up. I think you have to die to win!

I haven’t looked at the rules for a few years, since I’m not planning on entering the contest....

(From the news report)
“The other assailant is believed to still be at large.”

What? “believed to be”? What inanity.

You have to die, and you can’t leave any children behind.

Many years ago I was on a mailing list called “Cult of the Father Darwin”, that was essentially nothing but stories about people removing themselves from the gene pool. It was hilarious, and some of the writers were actually pretty entertaining in their descriptions. They were also equal opportunity ‘racists’, in that they pretty much hated everyone equally, blacks, whites, hispanics, asians, and any other group you could think of. Made for some interesting reading.

“Hopefully he hit a femoral artery...”

And a shattered femur with a long and uncomfortable recovery MIGHT(?) Show him the error of his ways?

forgot about the requirement of having to die. OK then this guy takes his place among innumerable Honorable Mentions....but would be nice to see him featured in a RING commercial and have the royalties go to charity.

Seems like just mangling your junk to the point that you can’t procreate would be worth some kind of award.

That’s ok....I forgot about the part where you can’t leave progeny behind. I would be surprised if he DIDN’T have a baby mama (or 2 or 3) around somewhere.
