March 25, 200818 yr Apparently, he had trouble getting a hole into the wall of his trailer. So he decided to start firing bullets into it. Wow.
March 25, 200818 yr I call bulls***. Seriously, no way someone can be that stupid, as well as do it with people in the house.

Looks like a house to me. Where does the story say it's a trailer? Or are you implying that someone this dumb has to live in a trailer?

It's a good implication. In this case, incorrect, but 9/10 the guy using the gun to punch a hole in his wall lives in a trailer.

Really? What else can we say about 9/10 people that live in a trailer? Or 9/10 blacks? 9/10 Jews? 9/10 Asians? 9/10 women?

March 26, 200818 yr Author I honestly don't know why I said trailer - other than maybe I couldn't believe a little .22 could actually pierce the full outside wall of a real house and still kill someone. Must be some really thin walls.

Must be some really thin walls. Don't get me wrong, NS. I don't think you intended any malice. Just making a point. It may be an old house without insulation and old, brittle drywall / plaster. I'd like to know what else he was trying to use that he was so unsuccessful to try a gun as a last resort???

Personally, I think you're overestimating the intelligence of the kind of person who would think of using a gun for this purpose at all if you're thinking it was a last resort.

Probably, but the story made it seem that way. I wonder if Comcast will use this is their next sattellite bashing commercial.

March 26, 200818 yr I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that there may have been a little alcohol involved.

Your comment was the one that really pisses me off. No, I don't live in a trailer, but I also don't go around making rude, sterotypical comments about people that live in them either.

It appears I made an assumption, and I am not sure why, other than maybe the thin walls - but its a bit embarrassing. So again, sorry that I accidentally started this little wildfire.

I'm cool. You said you made an error. I can accept that. Now, what have you got against aliens, you biggot?

When did Soxtalk become the no-fun zone? And to think I was such a fan of Monsters, Inc!
March 28, 200818 yr QUOTE(mreye @ Mar 28, 2008 -> 07:59 AM) And a very funny joke at that. Thanks for the good laugh. You are most welcome.
March 31, 200818 yr Just to toss a log on the fire and add another stereotype, his neighbor is wearing a NASCAR hat, you know, just sayin' I'm buying the accident defense.
