Arkansas Men Arrested for Taking Turns Shooting Each Other While Wearing Bulletproof Vest After Drinking

Two men were arrested in Arkansas this week after allegedly taking turns shooting each other while wearing a bulletproof vest, a police report has said.

Charles Eugene Ferris, age 50, and Christopher Hicks, age 36, were detained on Monday after the incident, which took place on Sunday and left one neighbor alarmed. Details of the case were inside an arrest affidavit obtained by the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.

According to the affidavit, a deputy with the Benton County Sheriff's Office first interviewed Ferris after he was admitted to hospital late Sunday night. The man reportedly had a red spot on his upper chest but tried to concoct an elaborate cover story for the injury, police said.

They were standing over 6 feet away from each other...practicing social distancing. 
What are we?  Russia?

Curious.  What is the charge?  Leaving a neighbor alarmed? 

Maybe reckless endangerment?

They used a .22 rifle. I suspect that had a .223 or 5.56 mm rifle been used the result might have been more injurious.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

How did this not go into Ridiculous News Of The Day? If you have two  drunk people that both say hold my beer at the same time does it act as multiplier of stupidity? The apparent answer is a resounding yes.

Arkansas, eh?  Were they on meth?
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

They were arrested for "suspicion of Aggravated Assault" and released on bond.  Story says they lived in a city, so there may be an ordinance violation for the ordnance?

Though they prolly would deserve it, since they were wearing bulletproof vests, I don't think they will be getting the Darwin Award for this.

Discharge of a firearm...

...within city limits.
...within X feet of an inhabited building/dwelling.
might be the most common ordinances violated.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Very first thing that crossed my mind.

Confession time, many years ago we used to have pellet gun wars. 3 pump rule, until you got hit and then all bets were off.

It's interesting that if you clickbait on the newsweak link it presents the current date and your location at the top of their phony magazine image. Just goes to prove that we all need to look closer at what we are thinking about posting.

When websites insert "todaysDate" html variable instead of the actual date of publication it makes it bloody difficult to know when a story is.

Keep up the good work.  I enjoy The Adventures of Florida Man.  Some of the best comedy out there is based on low IQ human tricks.
