“Gun Death” Dog Mauling

Sad and Sick!

A 2-year-old Florida boy has died after being attacked by four large Rottweilers at his grandfather’s home.

…Speaking to WFLA, MOTHER tearfully recounted how just after 4pm Saturday she went to use the restroom when the little boy slipped out of the house and was attacked by his grandfather’s Rottweilers.

‘Had I not gone to the bathroom, this would’ve never happened,’ she said.

Of course there’s the line where the family claims that the dogs have never acted aggressive before, which I doubt.

Hey, but ban guns, because while dogs act on their own volition and kill people, guns do nothing unless intentionally used…which I guess is WAY worse!

“Gun Death” Private Jet

Sorta Reminds me of my segment of the April Fool’s Gunblog Variety Cast, Private Plane Death:

The North Carolina CEO who is believed to have been piloting his private jet when it came down on a Washington D.C. suburb killing a mother and her two young sons had crashed a plane in March, 2010, on the same approach.

…Six people in total died when the Embraer EMB-500/Phenom 100 twin-engine private jet which plowed into three homes at around 10.45am causing a huge explosion.

Of course most antis don’t have private planes, so maybe they’ll work to ban those too! GLOBAL WARMING!!!!

About Those “Windows Tech Support” Calls

So I’ve been fielding calls from the “Windows Tech Support” Scam all week. My general premise has been to play TOTALLY dumb and jerk them around for as long as I can, because every minute I keep them on the line, that’s a minute they aren’t calling somebody who doesn’t know better.

Still that’s getting old, and I would really want them to just stop, both because it bothers me, and because they ARE still ripping off honest people.

So they get away with this crap by working outside the United States (Generally Calcutta India), and generally I suspect the lead scammers pay the workers shit to steal from honest people who think their computer is compromised.

That got me thinking, it’s not like the saps making these horrible calls are all sociopaths, they probably know they’re stealing, but they’re doing it for the money, which they probably desperately need.

So does anybody know of any law agency that is offering a bounty or reward for somebody who’s willing to fink out the players running this shit?

Either way, I’m going to try and convince the next scammer who calls me to bite the hand that feeds him.

“Gun Death” Pennies on the Train Tracks

I’ve done this as a kid, and since I live near train tracks I’ll likely be doing it with my daughter when she’s older…but not like this!

A Louisiana teenager playing a game with friends on train tracks was killed this weekend when some equipment threw him under one of the cars.

Law enforcement officials tell The Advocate that 17-year-old **DEPARTED** and three friends had been placing coins on train tracks to watch them be crushed early Sunday. **DEPARTED** lay on the ground inches from the passing cars. A ladder hanging off one of the cars caught him, tossing him under the train. He was just south of a Union Pacific rail yard in Livonia, and he died about 1:30 a.m.

INCHES FROM THE CARS??? WTF? Crushing coins is cool, but why do you need to witness it at close-range? Of course, sad to say, bad judgement seems like his MO:

Authorities say **DEPARTED** nearly died two years earlier in a hunting accident when he stood up in the path of a fellow duck hunter. A sheriff’s spokesman called his recovery “close to a miracle.”

Miraculous that he survived those two additional years! Also this shows the irony on focusing on “Gun Death”, he was SHOT, and LIVED! But was killed by a passing train.

“Gun Death” A Little of Both

Have a look!

New York police fatally shot a man armed with a knife on Tuesday after he stabbed a rabbinical student from Israel in a Brooklyn synagogue, and authorities quickly stepped up security at Jewish houses of worship around the city, police said.

The suspect, **SUSPECT**, 49, who has a history of mental illness, stabbed and wounded 22-year-old **VICTIM**, who was studying at the world headquarters of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, police said.

So this crazed anti-Semite stabbed a Jewish Student, but didn’t kill him. Police responded and attempted to arrest him…he attempted to stab the cops and they DID kill him.

So we have one person stabbed, but it wasn’t a “Gun Death”, who cares??? But we have police shooting a dangerous nut…GUN DEATH BAD!!!

Does that make sense to you???

Happy Squirrels, Sad Puppies

Tonight we’ll be talking about the Sad Puppies Campaign for the Hugo Awards

If you don’t know what that is, follow the link to the show page and check out the lit. Lord knows I didn’t really get it for the last three years until this all came to a head.

It has all the fun elements. Rabid hate disguised as caring altruism, political conspiracy, as well as a truth that shatters an award that I always assumed was on the level.

So at 9pm EST listen in, and call in 214-530-0036, because we would LOVE to hear what you think about all of this, and I personally would love to hear what the Hugo award meant to you when you first got into Sci-Fi/Fantasy.

So yeah it’s gonna be a GREAT show, it’s the SQUIRREL REPORT!!!
