https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/sep/11/florida-man-shot-dead-bulletproof-vest

See if you can guess what's under the spoiler tags:

quote:

Police said a Florida man who asked if a bulletproof vest “still worked” was fatally shot by his cousin.

A Tampa police report said 23-year-old Joaquin Mendez put on the vest late on Saturday and “wondered aloud whether it still worked”.

The report said Mendez’s cousin, 24-year-old Alexandro Garibaldi, pulled out a gun and responded: “Let’s see.”

Officers found Mendez outside the house with a gunshot wound in his chest. He died at a hospital.
According to the police report, Garibaldi initially told officers he found his wounded cousin after hearing a gunshot. However, police said a witness described Garibaldi shooting Mendez.
Police said the vest was found inside the house, having sustained a gunshot. Garibaldi was held on Sunday without bond on a manslaughter charge. Hillsborough County jail records did not show whether he had an attorney.

It’s dumb as poo poo to test it like that, but, seriously, how did they gently caress it up? Use a rifle? Shoot somewhere the vest didn’t cover? Use an empty vest? Use a vest that wasn’t bulletproof at all?

Most "bulletproof" vests aren't really proofed, they're just bullet-resistant to varying degrees. Especially the soft versions used outside of the military will usually not stand up against rifles or even beefier handgun calibres. If the guy had a something like a .44 magnum and used it at short range, the bullet might well have gone right through even though the vest was in perfect working order.

Since he wanted to see if it still worked, I'd guess that it was past its shelf life. Those things do expire, after all.

Some also have inserts as the only bulletproof part, so it might've just been a vest.

If this is the first step in reopening the business under a new name but by the same management, that might be a smart move. Also allows them to fire the daughter outright without feeling too bad about it.

Everybody was calling this ever since the news was announced. CM Punk is a good wrestler and performer, but UFC is an entirely different animal. That said, the real schaden will come when Punk has to beg for his WWE gig back.

The best/worst part of this video is the poor woman in the sweater in the immediate background who is visibly uncomfortable and as the video goes on acquires a thousand yard stare and keeps fake smile/grimacing.

It's legit challenging watch. I sat through stuff like foam adventure no problem, but this took actual effort to hate watch 'til the end.

Worst of all is song gets stuck in your head, and then you keep going about your day repeating 'Wanna be a neeeen-ja' until you hate yourself.

I mean for someone to compose that song they would have to be at least dimly aware of their cultural surroundings, enough so as to notice that nobody has made an "ah so, me velly solly" kind of joke or reference in public in like forty years, and yet they went right ahead and did it as though it's par for the course.

I listened to the beginning a couple times and I am really confused with how being a "neenja" has anything to do with beds?

At least the 9/11 one had the twin beds / Twin Towers going for it.

It's so hard to believe people in this age of going viral for all the wrong reasons can get this far with this kind of thing. Both of these have tons of people working on them. Did no one speak up and say this might be a terrible idea? On either one?

We had Book Week here in Australia where kids apparently wear themed costumes to school. One kid got prior permission from a teacher to dress up as Adolf Hitler on the day that they had a bunch of students from a Jewish school visiting. Li'l Adolf was apparently judged to be one of the best costumes on the day so he got to go in the parade in front of their visitors. Apparently no one from the school realised there may have been anything slightly off about any of this until it was pointed out afterwards.

Noted in that article as well, less than two weeks earlier a (frankly rather boring, on first read) satirical news site had a fake story of basically that same thing just with an elementary school student instead of a high school student. Seriously, the fake news article seems more realistic and less overwrought than the real one.
