Man drilling hole in wall with gun, shoots and kills wife.

kctv5.com — A Missouri man trying to install satellite TV at his house by drilling a hole in the wall with rounds fired from a .22 caliber handgun shoots his wife. As it turns out, sometimes Darwin's law is as ineffective as the justice system at getting the right man.

  • inactive, on 03/29/2008, -7/+594Hell I built my last house with nothing but a shotgun and some nails.
  • ballblogs, on 03/29/2008, -2/+466I'm sure we've all thought, "why pay for installation of a satellite system when I've got this perfectly good handgun."
  • Zlorp, on 03/29/2008, -7/+237me thinks he'll pay the 50 dollar installation charge next time.
  • 11oops, on 03/29/2008, -3/+221Charge him with manslaughter and give a sentence of a few years of probation. His children already lost their mother, and it seems foolish to take the father as well. This way he has a felony conviction so the dumbass can't own any guns in the future.
  • FUR10N, on 03/29/2008, -6/+199I bet the cable companies use this in there next commercial. "Switch to cable, save lives"
  • mentallyinhell, on 03/29/2008, -4/+182Yeehaw! Dat dere's how you drill a hole.
  • DrivebyGroper, on 03/29/2008, -7/+163Man, all this time I've just been kicking things when I get frustrated. Clearly I'm a noob.
  • orenshk, on 03/29/2008, -2/+132So would this be a Darwin award? The only thing the wife did wrong was to marry the idiot.
  • dafragsta, on 03/29/2008, -1/+103That's beer money.
  • Gabberwok, on 03/29/2008, -41/+141I know that everyone on Digg is against gun control, but honestly, do you really want someone this stupid to own firearms?
  • Mootabolife, on 03/29/2008, -1/+100I used c4 to make my basement. How was I supposed to know you couldn't add a basement to an apt building?
  • EthylAdded, on 03/29/2008, -4/+86Hold on. This was a very clever plan to kill his wife and get away with it.
  • doctechnical, on 03/29/2008, -2/+80Next on New Yankee Workshop: When safety glasses just aren't enough.
  • JorgeGT, on 03/29/2008, -0/+72And I thought Homer Simpson's use of guns was a parody...
  • 10lbhammer, on 03/29/2008, -2/+72the right tool for the right job!
  • doctechnical, on 03/29/2008, -0/+64Everybody knows the first salad shooter was a Colt .45.
  • gquaglia, on 03/29/2008, -2/+62Its known as the white trash drill bit.
  • TheThirdWheel, on 03/29/2008, -0/+59I install Satellite, never made any holes with a gun, but I have had a customer out in the sticks blow the top off a tree off with a shotgun so he could get service. Sattelite/cable installers see the craziest *****, try going in 3-8 random houses every day and you'll know what I mean.
  • inactive, on 03/29/2008, -3/+59"You diggbots"? You've had an account here for over a year, submitted over 130 stories, dugg over 850 stories and posted almost as many comments. Who are you kidding?
  • inodes, on 03/29/2008, -2/+54The real question is did the wire fit thru the hole?
  • inactive, on 03/29/2008, -13/+64Let me introduce you to the most dangerous variation of the redneck family, the unsupervised hillbilly. You can identify the unsupervised hillbilly in the wild by the redneck similar to others in the redneck family, but more importantly by the alcohol-slurred speech and frequent references to "gubornment" being "a'gin" most every type of welfare except, his check. Additional, there are frequently Confederate flags and strangely drawn number "3" stickers plastered on any vehicle that moves. If you should come across a live unsupervised hillbilly in the wild, don't make any sudden moves and it is best not to stare.
  • Optimus, on 03/29/2008, -19/+68Guns are designed to kill, iPhones not. Thank you, try again.
  • brad3378, on 03/29/2008, -3/+41Are you kidding me?
    Gun lobbies defend RESPONSIBLE gun ownership.
    This idiot clearly wasn't using his head. He's on his own this time.
  • inactive, on 03/29/2008, -2/+38Wow, a half page of self serving rambling to show you don't know dick.

  • punkcat, on 03/29/2008, -0/+35and 100 extra channels to boot
  • theWaterboy, on 03/29/2008, -0/+35"So would this be a Darwin award? The only thing the wife did wrong was to marry the idiot."...

    Exactly!
  • 955701, on 03/29/2008, -0/+35Perhaps it was his wife that nagged him about the $50 installation charge last time.
  • bromac, on 03/29/2008, -0/+33I tried going into random houses, but usually I get chased off with those shotguns you speak of.
  • rhoffer21, on 03/29/2008, -10/+40Digg is an anonymous group of random people not a single entity, so it cant have a stance.
  • inactive, on 03/29/2008, -4/+33Apparently you are unaware of the fact the US military has a higher average IQ than the general populace, and of all the branches, the highest is the USMC? HANDDA
  • NathanielJ, on 03/29/2008, -0/+29He gives those smart idiots a bad name.
  • Beowulf2112, on 03/29/2008, -1/+30But as a whole its members can have an opinion... that's what he is asking. And since Digg is a public forum for such opinions I think his request is perfectly reasonable.
  • doctechnical, on 03/29/2008, -3/+32I'd rather people this stupid had firearms instead of children. Alas, movements to license reproductive organs haven't been terribly successful. A pity, that.
  • davidwasman, on 03/29/2008, -23/+51Gun lobbyists rushing to his defense in 3...2...
  • Edwaldo, on 03/29/2008, -1/+28I'm sure it was a tragedy that he'll learn from.
  • xcheats, on 03/29/2008, -3/+30Guess we should take cars aways from idiots too, seeing as probably over a hundred times as many people are killed by cars than guns everyday in America.
  • debuggercll, on 03/29/2008, -1/+27This is gonna make for a great cable commercial. "FACT: More people have died while installing satellite TV service than cable. Protect your loved ones, get cable!"
  • FriniK, on 03/29/2008, -0/+26.... so i take it he made his hole?
  • bermudianguy, on 03/29/2008, -2/+27You might be a redneck if .....
  • SomeImagination, on 03/29/2008, -1/+25"Bad things happen to good people,” -Neighbor
    No bad things happen to stupid people, what the ***** were you thinking?! DIY+Guns = No
  • inactive, on 03/29/2008, -1/+25The article doesn't mention the important things, such as whether he got the satellite TV working?
  • punkcat, on 03/29/2008, -1/+23assimilate.
  • sexybobo, on 03/29/2008, -0/+22I really doubt the digg population has trouble finding free porn
  • Charun, on 03/29/2008, -7/+28If she was armed this would have never happened.
  • tEhKewleSt, on 03/29/2008, -4/+24Guns don't kill people, halfway retarded people with guns kill people.
  • forsight, on 03/29/2008, -10/+29guns don't kill people. people kill people.
  • kinseyincanada, on 03/29/2008, -0/+19has everyone forgot that guns are also designed for drilling holes in the wall? how do you expect people to put up satellite dishes without a gun?
  • offspring06, on 03/29/2008, -4/+22What a stupid idiot.
  • doctechnical, on 03/29/2008, -1/+19*****' A, bubba.
  • ThndrShk2k, on 03/29/2008, -0/+18Depends what floor you live on.
