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?

Glad it wasn't a head shot....lol.

Curious. What is the charge? Leaving a neighbor alarmed?
Maybe reckless endangerment?

I know right?

Watch this... hold my beer... lol

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.
-
They obviously watched the movie Kickass.
:pop41:

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?

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?
-
Sure these weren't men from Florida.
-
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.
:shrug:
It is definitely time to shut down the lockdown when people get so bored this is all they can think of to do.... :whistle:
(Thank God I quit drinking, is all I can say....) :laugh:

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.

Sorry folks I got fooled by newsweek. I'll try to look more closely next time.

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.
