It’s WTF Wednesday, so here’s your WTF. I’m in a WTF mood, appropriately enough.
If you don’t want to need a gun permit, shoot someone with an antique gun. That’s the lesson in this tragic and sad story about a shooting in Norton. Robert McDermott allegedly shoots and kills his girlfriend, and puts two of her daughters to the hospital in critical condition. A bit of a WTF there; when a gun is old it is still capable of killing.
But the thing that really got me was the bit at the end.
Relatives of Wayne Cann [father of the girls] say he was concerned his three daughters were being mistreated by McDermott. They say he dropped the case because he was convinced he couldn’t win.
BTW - in case you missed this story, for every 10 people in this country, there are 9 guns.
From the “Ignorance Is Bliss” file comes this story.
The DEA complains of a lack of medical marijuana research, yet the DEA is blocking research from taking place.
Neat little scam.
Most unobservant police force of 1999 award goes to the Zagreb police.
A Croatian man lay dead for eight years in his flat in downtown Zagreb before a neighbour discovered the body, a local newspaper reported on Wednesday.
In 1999, police had searched his flat at the suggestion of his nephew, but failed to find the body. To be fair, the flat was so full of garbage that he was only found this year after an hour’s worth of digging. Ew. By this time, he was just a skeleton.
Remember when the media tried to scare you into believing that you were giving your daughters breast cancer every time you fed them french fries, and the damage was irreversible?
Surprise! “At levels in the diet, it doesn’t seem to cause breast cancer.”
But I do appreciate feeling like a bad parent for 4 years.
N.H. Sub Shops Battle Over Steak Bomb
In this week’s food WTF, a New Hampshire sub shop wants to trademark the name of a type of sub that’s used all over New England.
“Karl Kuceris, owner of USA Subs, said he’s trying to protect his business.”
How does making people think you’re a jerk protect your business? Even D’Angelo’s has had a steak bomb on the menu.
