Speeders & Drunk Drivers are MURDERERS - 13 Nov 2007 07:51 GMT

Wash. state man uses shotgun to loosen lug nut; effort does not go well
updated 1:44 p.m. MT, Mon., Nov. 12, 2007

SOUTHWORTH, Wash. - A man trying to loosen a stubborn lug nut blasted the
wheel with a 12-gauge shotgun, injuring himself badly in both legs,
sheriff's deputies said.

The 66-year-old man had been repairing a Lincoln Continental for two weeks
at his home in Kitsap County northwest of Southworth, about 10 miles
southwest of Seattle, and had gotten all but one of the lug nuts off the
right rear wheel by Saturday afternoon, Kitsap County Deputy Scott Wilson
said.

"He's bound and determined to get that lug nut off," Wilson said.

From about arm's length, the man fired the shotgun at the wheel and was
"peppered" in both legs with buckshot and debris, with some injuries as
high as his chin, according to a sheriff's office report.

"Nobody else was there, and he wasn't intoxicated," Wilson said.

The man was taken to Tacoma General Hospital with injuries Wilson described
as severe but not life-threatening.

I take it this means you have absolutely no information to prove
this.  My guess is that he is some southern Dimocrat union boss.
Prolly your secret lover too!  Pretty good match to your IQ, I'd say.

Truth is that anyone this interested in winning the Darwin award
prolly has NO interest in politics.

And if I take time to prove it otherwise, you will do exactly what?
Oh that's right nothing except call me a liar. How about YOU prove it
and save me the bother since you brought it up.

Hey, speaking of "I guarantee it!", have you noticed how integrity in
the corporate world seems a thing of the past? I see all these ads on
TV with some guy saying "I guarantee it!" and what does it mean?
Nothing. No, not some real written guarantee or warranty. Just some
hot air from the founder. HE determines what "I guarantee it" means!
Every time I hear this it somehow reminds me of Janet Reno on TV
saying, "I take full responsibility for the events at Waco Tx."
Responsibility? What in hell does that mean? Certainly not any
investigation of criminal wrongdoing let alone actual charges and
convictions!  Bottom line: It's just all bullshit. PURE BULLSHIT pure
and simple. Sure it's easy to "guarantee" something or "take
responsibility" for something if you already KNOW there won't be any
real consequences.   When real money gets involved or a real cell door
with your name on it, THEN maybe these things start to mean
something!

You're making the false assumption that it existed in the past.  The
phrase "I guarantee it!" has _always_ been a sign of a con.  It's been
around almost as long as "trust me".

Well?????  Did he get the lug nut off or not?
Ad absurdum per aspera - 14 Nov 2007 17:02 GMT
> Well?????  Did he get the lug nut off or not?

>From the story: "It was not immediately clear whether the shotgun
blast loosened the lug nut."   I would guess this to be an ineffectual
tool as well as a dangerous one.  Hard to imagine  even the nontoxic
steel pellets used nowadays for waterfowl hunting doing anything  to
it (except maybe chewing up the threads toward the end so it's even
harder to get off).   You can shoot relatively soft lead buckshot at a
steel lug bolt and nut for a long time without hurting anything except
your brake lines,  fender, and legs.

(If you shoot anything into anything at very close range, you have to
expect at the very least some backsplash from the target material, or,
if it's a hard target,  a risk of riccochets.  This tends to make your
day worse, as he learned. A car wheel, with its concave shape as well
as hard materials, would be the very picture of something *not* to do
this to.)

Without invoking adult beverages, can only explain it as a very ill-
considered gesture of frustration.  Working on cars can do that
(especially if the wheel had been put on by somebody a little too
proud of the fact that his impact wrench goes all the way up to 11, or
rust has made an appearance, or both).

Hopefully if his friends stop laughing in time for Christmas, they
will show up with one of those truly thoughtful all-occasion unisex
gifts:  a  cross-shaped lug wrench of generous proportions (applying a
"coupled torque" makes it far less likely that you'll shear off the
lug) one of whose business ends is the right size.  And perhaps as a
little stocking stuffer,  a can of WD-40 to keep in the trunk.  These
are the weapons of choice for  mounting an assault on uncooperative
lug nuts when an impact wrench is not available.  The foot-long, L-
shaped tinkertoy provided with most cars these days is better than
gunfire, certainly -- and the sharp end is good for prying off hubcaps
-- but leaves a lot to be desired for lug nut removal.

Safety first,
--Joe

This is my assessment as well. He simply got frustrated trying to
loosen the nut and then totally pissed off grabbed a shotgun to "kill"
the offending nut.  Dumb for sure, but not as moronic as thinking you
could loosen a nut with a shotgun.  Since guns are involved liberals
have to play the "dumb" part up, but usually they would prefer emotion
over reason. "If only one tire is saved" Yadda Yadda!

The subject line in this post says more about the current state of
media journalism in the country (whether or not it was written by a
journalist) than anything else.  The media never worries about truth
or facts. The goal is always a "good story". This was true even back
in the days before they became a propaganda arm of those in power (or
wishing to be).  However, the leftist media NEVER misses a chance to
"sell the product" when the story involves guns.  A study by Media
Research Center's Culture and Media Institute found that of the big
three TV networks in the first 7 months of 2007 aired 650 on gun
homicides, but only ran 2 stories on the positive uses of firearms.
They stacked the deck 325 to 1 in favor of an anti-gun agenda.

Here, we see fallout from such media bias where anyone with a
political agenda (such as speeder and drunk driver) use the same
political prevarications as the media when discussing any firearm
subject. In this case the man is characterized as "insane" or at
minimum "retarded" by use of word "idiot" and then that claim is
supported by the statement that he used a shotgun "to loosen Lug Nut
on car".  The article hints at that but certainly doesn't make that
claim.  It's all about poltical "spin" (meaning careful word choice to
give an impression the opposite of the truth).  Thus the political
message is quite clear: This guy was some goober who thought he could
get that nut off by shooting it with a shotgun. There is no evidence
that this view of the incident is correct anymore than there is proof
that the man as alleged by some of the posters here was a republican.
You know, I'm old enough to remember the old days when all of us in
America used to laugh at the propaganda sheet "PRAVDA" (means truth)
that the USSR used to put out.  Now we've got to get a subscription to
it to have ANY idea what is going on in the world. Oh how the mighty
hath fallen!

PS: Good firearm safety lesson here too! "ALWAYS keep your firearm
pointed in a safe direction!"  And it's important to remember that a
"safe direction" is NOT where projectiles can bounce back. I cringe
when I see people choosing "toward a cement floor" as a safe
direction!  One misfire and EVERYBODY gets to enjoy the round!

I'm guessing it might have a chance, with a square hit, especially
toward the closer end of that range.  If memory serves,   9mm NATO FMJ
ball is considered "combat effective" out to 50 yards.  That's a
formal definition based on penetration of a specified plate roughly
equivalent to an old-fashioned fender;  of course the bullet remains
potentially deadly to humans much further away.

A rim is however such a complicated three-dimensional shape (including
some drastic changes on the size scale of a bullet) that the odds of a
glancing hit and ricocchet are considerably greater than when shooting
at a flat plate.

A propane torch makes a decent weapon for such as well, but probably not the
best thing to be carrying around in your car.

Thinking of SFB, did you catch Mythbusters tonight? They drove (maybe
pulled would be a better word) a Lincoln Towncar behind a 747 that had
its engines at full throttle. Sounds like a fitting end for SFB and its

Missed that, but it would be a fitting end.

But knowing SADDAM, it would "experiment" by passing the jet, then
pulling a LLB maneuver.

Cool. IIRC, 747s weigh about 450 tons at take off. SFB would be nothing
but a small stain on the runway if it tried to pass. That is ASSuming,
of course, that it and its beater don't get drawn into one of the
engines first (another fitting end for SFB, but a horrible waste of a
jet engine). ;-P

I dunno; there's some things even a jet engine won't suck. :-)

As fast as those planes go, the engine might not have the time to
recognise the poisons it is ingesting.

I do have to revise my previous posts desiring that SFB get run over by
a 747, though. I was remiss in one point: the choice of aircraft. The
Airbus A380 weighs about 617 tons at takeoff. As such would do a more
efficient job of flattening SFB's beater.... ;-P

MIAMI -- A Florida man police said was breaking into cars at Miccosukee
Resort and Gaming was attacked and killed by a 9-foot alligator while trying
to run from police.

Investigators said officers responded to reports of car break-ins at a
Miccosukee Indian Reservation parking lot located at 500 S.W. 177th Ave. in
Miami.

One of the men was quickly captured by officers during the incident last
week but the other robbery suspect tried to elude officer by jumping into a
large pond behind the facility, according to a WJXT-TV report.

During the swim, police said, an alligator attacked and killed the man. He
was apparently bitten on the head several times.

The victim's body was recovered at the bottom of the pond about a day after
the reported break-ins.

The men were not identified in the report.

Meanwhile, an alligator believed responsible for attacking and then killing
the man was captured and transported to All American Gator in Pembroke Park.

"Some alligators just have a nasty disposition and he was just a nasty
gator," owner of All American Gator Brian Woods said. "He seemed to have no
fear of people."

If the alternative is take two weeks trying to get a lug nut off, yes.  
What would you do.....keep trying for another two weeks or so? ;)

If you're too damned stupid to be able to change a tire, you certainly
aren't intelligent enough to operate a motor vehicle. The moron that's
the subject of this story is merely providing proof that Darwin was
correct. We've got another 110 idiots in the U.S.A. that also provide
similar proof on a daily basis.

He couldn't get one lug nut off.  Could be stupidity, could be rust,
could be the opposite thread.  Lots of reasons other that stupidity.  
Now, the fact that he kept trying for two weeks may be a clue.

110 out of 300 million.  Not bad.  How's life on your planet?

Agreed.

That's the clincher for me.

Getting better, at the rate of 110 per day. :-)

I just carry a 18" 1/2" drive breaker bar and socket;it removes the
tightest wheel nut.And lifting UP to unscrew allows you to use your leg
muscles,more power than your body weight trying to push down.More torque
than a 4-way X-style lug wrench,too.

Harbor Freight even carries a 25" 1/2 drive breaker bar;even more torque.
