Wow, my heart goes out to the family of this man!

A retired photographer bled to death at home after accidentally cutting himself on a broken wine glass when taking out the rubbish.

John Fozard tried to staunch the blood when the glass tore through the polythene bin bag and left a four-centimetre wound on his thigh before collapsing in the bathroom.

The 66-year-old left pools of blood around the house and smeared up the walls as he desperately attempted to stem the flow from the severed artery just above his knee.

A horrible accident, but you can see just how fragile human life can be, and how minor a lethal wound can be. But of course only “Gun Death” should count, right?

Cars are not only dangerous pieces of high-speed heavy metal and glass, but they are also toxic factories!!

The founder of an animal rescue organization in Ohio committed suicide, taking dozens of pets with her, the Moreland Hills Police Department told CNN.

Sandy Lertzman, 62, founder of the Animal Rights Foundation, was found dead November 4 inside her garage in a running car alongside 31 small rescue dogs, police said.

Investigators found prescription vials in the vehicle and a suicide note inside the house.

According to Sgt. Janet Boehler, a friend discovered Lertzman’s body. It is unclear how long Lertzman and the pets had been dead before they were found. Lertzman was last seen alive November 3.

I have no issue with suicide except for the selfish nature of it, and the pain it inflicts to those left behind. According to her organization website, she leaves behind a husband and son. Still it strikes me as strange that somebody who cares for dogs will include them in her very personal and permanent decision.

Still “Gun Death” zealots NEED to include suicides in their numbers because otherwise “Gun Death” isn’t all that big of a number. Still cars are such a readily accessible suicide method that common sense regulation should be considered.

Who am I kidding? Only “Gun Death” counts, so let anybody have a car and do as much damage as they want!

Norway had one of the worst mass-shootings in history, still that’s a product of a land with massive gun control that empowers psychopaths. They don’t NEED a gun to do serious damage:

A knife-wielding man on Monday hijacked a bus in western Norway and killed three people on board, including the bus driver, the police said. The suspect, described as a man in his 50s, was arrested after the attack in Sogn and Fjordane County, the police said.

That would be a “Mass Shooting” if this had been a “Gun Death”. Still one can argue that in a gun control Utopia like Norway guns are hard to acquire, and the Norway shooter expended a LOT of effort to get the gun and magazines he used.

Meanwhile knives are EASY. What’s HARD is to have a good defensive tool when such a thing happens, leading to deaths like these, and empowerment of lunatics like this.
