Nothing more pathetic and disgusting than a man who can't successfully commit suicide.

Exactly. Makes a guy want to blow his brains out.

Don't you mean "doesn't work "?

And now, in keeping with Channel 40's policy of always bringing you the latest in blood and guts, in living color, you're about to see another first - an attempted suicide.

Famous last words of TV anchorwoman Chris Chubbock as she took out a pistol and shot herself on the air on July 15th 1974. She lived for 14 more hrs

I've read about Chubbock.. There's not a single pic or video of it anywhere apparently. However, I've heard the Miami cops have a copy still, old evidence. I wonder if a freedom of information act tactic could get it out in the open.

>>>"Don't you mean "doesn't work "<<<

Yea it was a lame attempt at sarcasm, most Gun Laws drain me of the will to fight, I may just have to snag a Reporter and attempt to blow my brains out.


(Better?)

And of course Teele is quite prosperous himself. From humble beginnings in Arkansas, he became a decorated Vietnam War vet, a Florida State law school graduate, head of the Urban Mass Transit Administration under Ronald Reagan, and president of the National Business League, the largest African-American chamber of commerce.

I've really searched high and low for it, if you can find it... I'd be very grateful.

I'm with you dude ! Gun laws only punish law abiding citizens like you and me . Criminals have easier and cheaper access to a weapon , not to mention a quicker purchase .

Former City Commissioner Arthur E. Teele Jr., recently indicted on corruption charges, died after shooting himself in the lobby of The Miami Herald building Wednesday, authorities said.

Miami police said Teele walked into the Miami Herald building about 6:05 p.m. and shot himself in the head with semi-automatic handgun.

Emergency personnel transported Teele to Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 7:50 p.m. Rescue workers told NBC 6 that Teele had two wounds in the back of his head.

"He didn't position the gun under his chin and fire up towards the ceiling. The early reports I read indicated he shot himself in the mouth with the exit wound possibly being in the back of his neck."

Being a non-gun user, that is what I would have done. I think that is how they do it in movies.

He didn't position the gun under his chin and fire up towards the ceiling. The early reports I read indicated he shot himself in the mouth with the exit wound possibly being in the back of his neck.

Wussies tend to flinch, pulling the gun to one side, and blowing a couple of upper molars out through their cheek.
