Default What could possibly go wrong....?

Wouldn't you expect a book to stop a round from a .50 AE from a foot away....?

Darwin wins another round.

It never ceases to amaze me how absolutely stupid some people are. Ok, the father of your un born kid has an idea for something for his you tube channel and it involves a gun.

Stop, back up and say next idea. Not ya, lets do this

Natural selection is working exactly as it should. One less Tard that will be breeding.

Too late....really curious how mom is going to explain to her kid one day about how she sort of shot the dad point blank in the chest with a .50 AE....as a stunt for youtube.

The real question how someone that makes such bad decisions live to be 19 years old?

You would think you would test out how well the book stops the bullet before you put theory into practice.

Yep, that's what libraries are for. Youtube snuff-films, maybe he was onto something.

The only sad part to this entire story is that their 3 year old daughter was there to witness the execution.
Other than that, this story is almost as good as the JATO Impala Darwin Award.

In his case, stupid can be fixed. In her case, probably not.

Well that's her story for now.... I can't believe a guy that would own that gun... most likely because it's the most powerful handgun he could buy... would think a book could stop a bullet. It boggles the mind. Maybe she just laid the groundwork for her defense with all the "really dangerous stunt" talk....

Well all I can say is, when she starts producing YouTube segments again, she's gonna have MILLIONS of followers.
