Idiot of the Week: Man shoots himself through the groin in an attempt to “trigger liberals”

Guy's post on the group facebook page-& Cat seeking a new home


























There are idiots, and there are idiots. This guy is a "King idiot." He's part of a conservative group of gun owners designed to irritate responsible gun owners. Not only did he shoot himself in the groin, but his poor cat apparently had to see this moron do it. I'm sure the cat was thinking he needed to find a better home ASAP. Here's the story from the UK Daily Mail:

Man shoots himself through the groin in an attempt to “trigger liberals”

The member of a Facebook group dedicated to pointing loaded guns at one’s genitalia accidentally shot himself in the testicles.

A San Diego man made a video of himself pointing a gun at his privates and then pulling the trigger. The man is a member of Facebook group called 'Loaded Guns Pointed at [B]enis,' which was created to irritate responsible gun owners. He wrote in a series of posts that the bullet from his .45 caliber pistol went through his scrotum, mattress, box spring and floor. He was treated at a hospital for his injuries and felt well enough to go to work

A member of a Facebook group where men jokingly post photos of themselves pointing loaded guns at their genitals, accidentally shot himself in his privates.

The bizarre incident took place on Tuesday in San Diego, California, landing the trigger-happy man in the hospital to be treated for injuries to his scrotum, as Vice first reported.

The man, who has not been named, is reportedly a member of the Facebook group 'Loaded Guns Pointed at [B]enis'. The group was created in May to get a rise out of responsible gun owners by showcasing photos of men pointing loaded firearms with the safety off at their crotches.

That is exactly what the San Diego resident was doing when he shot himself this week.

He posted a video of himself showing off his .45 caliber 1911 pistol, then pressing the muzzle against his genitals. After a few seconds, the gun discharges.

The wounded man documented what happened next in a series of posts, writing: 'Hey [b]ois, I might have f***ed up.'

The comment was accompanied by a photo showing the man's exposed legs with a towel pressed in between them, drops of blood on the floor and a crumpled copy of the US Constitution.

'I'm not kidding. I just shot myself,' the gun enthusiast continued her narration. 'God's caliber went through my scrotum, mattress, boxspring and floor.'

As Vice reported, the man initially thought the bullet had just grazed his body, but a trip to the hospital confirmed that the round had gone straight through his scrotum, leaving an entry and exit wound.

He reportedly shared a photo of himself laying on a gurney wearing a hospital gown and pointing his finger at his privates in a gesture mimicking a gun.

An admin for the Facebook group reported that the victim was '100% okay' and even went to work the following day.

The San Diego Police Department has confirmed that officers were called to the hospital at 8.30pm on Tuesday for a report of a man suffering from a self-inflicted wound.

But by the time they arrived at the hospital, the patient had been discharged.

In the wake of the incident, other members of the Facebook group elevated the San Diego man to the status of an admin and celebrated him as 'king.'

'The reason we are calling him king is partially because the poor guy already shot himself, don’t think he needs to be chastised as well,' the other admin told Vice. 'I’m quite sure he’s learned his lesson without the entire world calling him an idiot.'
