Thursday (Un)Humor: Bulletproof-Vest-Wearing Man Yells "Shoot Me"; Is Killed
Who could have seen this coming? USA Today reports deputies have charged an 18-year-old South Carolina woman with the fatal shooting of a male friend who had donned a bulletproof vest and allegedly asked her to "shoot me."
Deputies have charged an 18-year-old South Carolina woman with the fatal shooting of a male friend who had donned a bulletproof vest and allegedly asked her to "shoot me," according to local media.
The killing occurred Wednesday in Honea Path, S.C., after 25-year-old Blake Randall Wardell discovered the old vest in a garage where he had been hanging out with friends, WYFF-TV reports.
Anderson County deputy coroner Don McCown said Wardell asked Taylor Ann Kelly to "shoot me," the TV station reports.
Kelly allegedly fired a small caliber weapon at Wardell, but the bullet went through the edge of the vest and into his heart, McCown said.
McCown said there were as many as 10 other people at the home at the time. He said no evidence at the scene of a fight or struggle, The State newspaper reports.
"It wasn't a fight. They were actually going to take a shot at the vest," McCown said, according to the newspaper. "They were going to shoot the victim with the vest on. And he was shot in the chest, just above the vest."
He said the vest appeared to be 10 or 15 years old.
Wardell died at the scene despite attempts to apply CPR, WYFF reports.
Kelly was charged with involuntary manslaughter, which carries a five-year prison term upon conviction.
And that is America... (at least she didn't shoot him in the face)

It was likely much too small for the idiot.
I don't know what the now dead goof looks like. But most livestock will stay well clear of that "crazy looking" girl.
BTW, HP is about 50 mi. from Union, SC, home of Susan Smith, the delighful mother who drowned her 5 children.
Must be something in the Upstse's water.
"I'd tap that."
That's what she said.
Cleaning up the gene pool
I hope she at least left a very damning review on Amazon.
Are the Darwin awards still around ?
Everything considered, she probably did herself and the human gene pool a big favor. Now if she'll just choose to have a hysterectomy the cycle will be complete.
The Darwin Effect is finally triumphant over man's attempts to thwart it.
Plot twist: The idiot was a top banker. He just didn't want it to look like yet another damned 'suspicious suicide'.

Walmart workers????
He was going to be the next Fed Reserve Grand Poobah.
Accident. No charges should be filed. Darwind Award for the dead idiot. If anything, give Ann Kelly a round of applause for removing a great fool from our midst.
"Successfully removed from the gene pool."

I can't see why they'd charge her - she was chlorine for the gene pool.... sounds to me like the eugenecists should be ecstatic ....
