As if there were any doubt that God has a sense of humor, I bring you an actual headline out of Arkansas:
Flippin mayor shoots out window
Apparently there’s a town in Arkansas called Flippin, and the flippin’ mayor of Flippin accidentally shot out a window in the Flippin police chief’s office which is located on the second floor of the Flippin City Hall.
From the police chief’s report of the incident:
On 09/09/13 at approximately 9:28 a.m. I was in my office located at 239 East Main St in Flippin speaking with someone on the phone. Mayor Hudson came to my office and picked up a firearm that was in my office.
I heard a loud shot and looked up and observed the southeast corner window of my office broken. Mayor Hudson stated that the firearm had went off. Mayor Hudson advised me that he was attempting to unload the firearm and that the ammunition in it had jammed.
Small towns being what they are, I can totally see the mayor walking into the police chief’s office and carelessly picking up a rifle and accidentally discharging it. Because these things happen all the dang time, flippin’ accidental shootings are ubiquitous and it’s yet another part of our flippin’ gun discussion that never gets discussed, that you can just pick up a flippin’ rifle and the flippin’ thing fires and someone could get their flippin’ head blown off.
The fact that this happened in a town actually called Flippin is just extra hilarious.

Remember:
Guns don’t kill people, people with guns kill people.
Except sometimes teh gunz shoot themselves stupidentally.
Guns don’t kill people, except when they do.
Just one of those completely unavoidable incidents! Nothing to be done about it, not a darned thing! Oh well, carry on!
Guns don’t kill people, crazy/drunk/stupid/incompetent people with guns kill people. As soon as we admit that crazy/drunk/stupid/incompetent people should not have guns, things will get safer. Of course, this means we’ll have to stop letting those same people watch FauxNooz and vote and forward stupid e-mail petitions.
OT, but not completely.
Colorado’s Congressional delegation is screeching about hazzing teh disaster Benjamins. I think that ALL of them voted against the relief bill for Sandy. I’d say that they were hypocrites except that all of the hypocrites I know are, by comparison, decent, caring people.
I would bet my $16/month EBT card that every one of those douchenozzles voted for taking $4B out of the SNAP program for FY 2014.
I did read that all of the CO GOPers wanting their FEMA money voted against Sandy relief. I have not verified that but I certainly would not be surprised.
In other news, this “firing” wasn’t accidental:

I see Kessler’s being fired as a license for him to print money, but at least the next time he decides to use an automatic weapon in a video he won’t be wearing a REAL cop uniform or badge. I wonder how long it will take him to hook up with Joe Arpaihole.
Didn’t you hear? He’s hooked up with Tennessee’s own gun loon James Yeager. I wrote about it at the beginning of the month.
Southern Beale:
Yeah, I amember that, but (Jesse) James Yeager is a PoseurPatriot(TM) Shurf Joe, he’s the real deal. ‘sides, the feds can’t even take away Joe’s graft or xenophobic and racist tinged LE practice, nevermind his gunz.
Sheriff Joe is busy suing some Latina conference in Phoenix when they denied him booth space. Someone for the love of Christ needs to do a little digging and find out who is financing all of his activities.
“Someone for the love of Christ needs to do a little digging…”
I read that and my heart leapt. Then you finished the sentence without making reference to a shallow grave and my ennui resumed its regular program.
Sheriff Joe is not a small man, so there would have to be construction equipment involved, even for a shallow grave, given his girth and the hard dry earth of the Desert Southwest. Just sayin’.
