Of course, she'd probably prefer this guy, but's he's no longer available.
A 22-year-old man was killed in Colorado Springs after accidentally shooting himself outside a fast-food restaurant drive-through.

Randle Cunningham shot himself in the groin while at the drive-through window at a Taco Express at about 1 a.m. Sunday.

Witnesses said Cunningham was paying for food he ordered when he dropped some of his change on the ground, while taking it from the cashier. The witnesses said Cunningham opened his car door to retrieve it and bent over, apparently causing a weapon he was carrying to discharge.

Oh man. People shooting themselves seems to be a not infrequent occurrence in the US. It must be quite a shock to be a bystander and the person next to you shoots themself. It would be pretty traumatic I'd imagine.

Or really fucking funny. Depends on your mood at the time.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I would think he shot it because it may have been rabid. When a groundhog doesn't run away from people and runs toward them, there is a problem.

The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

Cop did a good job. Described the situation on the two-way, was told the groundhog was most likely rabid and to shoot it, which he did.

Now, if only the cops could do that with rabid humans, and not excepting the white ones of course. There'd be a few forum members on the list I made for them. :coffee:

I'd have shot it. Rabies ain't nothing to mess with.

Another high school was shot up this morning, at least 8 students dead in Texas.

There's got to be a drinking game in this somewhere.
