Gangsters videoed their crime boss accidentally blowing his brains out with a handgun during a drink and drugs party, police revealed yesterday.
Philip Collopy, 29, a member of a feuding gang in Limerick, Ireland, apparently did not realise his Glock 9mm pistol was loaded when he pointed it at his head and pulled the trigger in front of shocked onlookers.
Collopy, who was aligned to the Keane-Collopy gang in a long-running gangland feud, had emptied the magazine from the handgun, but there was still a bullet in the chamber.
Investigating police were able to rule out foul play in the death almost immediately, after one of his associates handed over footage of the shooting taken on his mobile phone.

One less moron to worry about. Gee, too bad.

Was he a student of Lee Paige?
No, the note to yourself should be to never point a real gun or anything that might be a real gun at yourself and pull the trigger, or at anything else you don’t want to kill or destroy, either.
he was probably trying to clean it and had to depress the trigger in order to break it down.

What a HOOT !
I thought about ending with "turned his brains into coffee" but that didn't seem to work.
Good point about a bad point, which was my point about pointing.

“during a drink and drugs party”
They say that God created whiskey to keep the Irish from taking over the world.
Four surgeons are discussing who makes the best surgical patient.
The first surgeon says, "I like accountants because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered.
The second surgeon says, "Yeah, but you should try electricians. Everything Inside is color coded.
The Third surgeon says, "No, I think librarians are the best. Everything inside is in alphabetical order.
The fourth surgeon says, "You're all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. Therere no guts, no heart, no brains and no spine, and their head and butt are interchangeable.
