Considering the range of fireable offenses for most any job, shooting someone while on or off the job would easily and obviously rank high up as something warranting immediate termination with no questions asked. Apparently this is not the case with federal government employees, however, and specifically the FBI. Last month we featured the viral video of FBI agent Chase Bishop accidentally shooting a bystander at a Colorado bar while busting a move that included a backflip in the middle of a boozed up crowd. During the bizarre dance move, the agent's gun ejected out of his holster onto the floor and as he lunged to pick it up, the gun went off, seriously wounding nearby bar patron Tom Reddington, who was treated and eventually released from a hospital.FBI agent Chase Bishop, who lives and works in Washington D.C., will get his gun back while awaiting his court hearing. Common sense might dictate this is a man who shouldn't be carrying a gun while awaiting his court hearing after he was charged with one count of second-degree assault in connection with the June 2 shooting. But a Denver judge has ruled he can now carry his weapon again on or off duty as Bishop considers a possible plea deal and future court date of August 21st.
It's one thing to be an idiot, drinking while armed. It's worse to bust a moron backflip dance move. But to pick up the weapon with your finger in the trigger is along the lines of too dumb to be trusted pointy scissors.
Is there any level of corruption or incompetence that can get an FBI agent canned anymore?
These clowns are keeping us all safe.
