What an idiot. Imagine how it would have ended if he would have bought a gun. Reminds me of a story that won a Darwin Award (to be found at their website). Police one day found a young man stabbed to death, but no sign of attackers. It was cleard up like this: his mother had bought him a protective jacket due to the many knifes and violence incident at his school. when she left the house the young man must have taken on that jacket, got a knife and tested how well protected he was.
Thanks for improving the human genome by removing your genes from it.
But in the mid 80s, in the last year at school, I used to distribute newspaper during vacation. There was this big shepard dog that I needed deal with when passing a compund to get to the paper box of one house, ironically near a church, this holy house of love and friendiness - just that nobody had told that dog. It always commenced fake attacks on me, but one day it all went too far and it was no fake anymore, so I released a full broadside of CS gas into it's face. What do you think the dog did? No kidding: it did not balk and did not run away - it immediately fell like a cut tree, like a pancake falling out of the window and landing on the pavement with a satisfying loud "SPLAT!", it then laid flat on the ground and covered eyes and nose with both front legs, as if wanting to play some doggy game. It looked ricidulous. when I passed it two minutes later on my way out, it still laid like this, making some strange yowling sounds.
Never needed to gas it again - just moving my hand to the pocket of my trousers made it run away. Would have expected another reaction from a CS-treated dog, though, some hectic running around and loud noise, or so...
