lurch234 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Enraged US man shoots his malfunctioning computer A man in the US city of Colorado faces police action after becoming so frustrated with his desktop computer that he took it outside and shot it eight times with a handgun, police say."He was having technology problems, so he took it to the back alley and destroyed it," a police spokesman said.Lucas Hinch was briefly detained for discharging a firearm within the city.He did not realise he was breaking the law when he went "Wild West" on his machine, local media reported.A judge is due to decide what penalty he will receive."He got tired of fighting with his computer for the last several months," police spokesman Jeff Strossner told the Colorado Springs Gazette.The paper said that Mr Hinch "shot the darn thing" when ctrl+alt+delete - the traditional method used to re-boot computers - "consistently did not work" on Monday evening."He was able to wreak the kind of revenge most of us only dream about," the paper said. "The computer is not expected to recover."Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballistic Gelatin Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 It was a Dell computer. Guess their PR agency will be working overtime the next few days to defend the brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CODYQX4 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 He "offended" someone, obviously, which is the most unforgivable sin in the Land of the Broke and the Home of the Slave, that we've allowed the government to turn the USA into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flitox Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 lol when you prentend to go to war to save some (in this case some shit french ) arses, simply have the decency to enter the war before having no other choice to do so.otherwise, it is only just a fucking lie (not to say revisionism) as you only join the party for your own interest and certainly not saving other people arse like you pretend.quite easy to understand, but apprently too complicated for some of you!then, the people that got drafted can have my respect, but their sons a grand sons can fuck off on that topic. cause for sure they didn't save any asses!last, speaking of gratitude, so, having to wait for our emeny to declare war to your truly to see you join the party, thats all the gratitude that YOU have???? yeah better give me a break about that cause you have no lesson to give then!and dmog, i hope you country is not doing any business with china, cuz if so they are supporting them too. but in the western world, business is more important than people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dMog Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 your paranoia knows no bounds and blinds you to the reality of the real world...embrace life and enjoy life for a change..america will NEVER turn into the reality of your fears.... in fact it will never will never even come close...fascists will do what you fear and there ain't any of them in the democratic party...the republicans however...you got some people in that party with serious fascist leanings granted but then the tea party is on the way out...you also have way to worry about with the anarchists and anti government types and white supremacists than you have to fear about any sitting president you you seem to love to hate the past few decades.....your comedy routine is actually getting boring here and you need some new material Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
