ROME (Reuters) - A man in Sicily asked a friend to shoot him in the groin in the hope of making his ex-girlfriend feel sorry for him, police said on Friday.



Police in the central Sicilian city of Piazza Armerina said they became suspicious when the 27-year-old went to hospital with wounds from a hunting rifle's pellets in the groin area.


At first he said the wounds had been caused in a hunting accident, but later admitted he had asked a friend, 16, to shoot him in an attempt to win back the affection of his girlfriend, who had apparently left him because of his violent character.


The man's wounds are expected to heal, doctors said.


Police said the man, and the 16-year-old, had been charged in connection with the shooting. Local reports said the man's ex-girlfriend had made clear she never wanted to see him again.





This has gotta be one of the dumbest gun stunts in the world. I guess its true love can make you do some stupid things.

I'm sure it made an impression upon her, but not a favorable one.

Shot in the groin area, eh? Sounds like he could be one of the rare winners of the Darwin Award and live to tell about it. (Improved the human gene pool by being unable to reproduce.) Let's hope.

Maybe he saw how much CDI 50 Cent had

This is almost like the gangbanger who wanted to impress his girlfriend by showing her his gun. When he shoved it back in his waistband, it discharged shooting him in his other "gun".

Still no word on whether she was impressed.

Talk about John "Woo"!

Reminds me of a John Wayne quote one our members has in his sig:
"Life is tough. It's even tougher if your stupid," or something to that effect.

a hunting rifle's pellets

huh?

Im thinking this would actually be one of those shorty double barreles shotguns that are so popular in Italy (Lapura?). I suppose some light shot wouldnt necessarily KILL you. But, i havent met a woman yet that would be worth finding out.

Love is Blind.
:banghead:
But it shouldn't be deaf, dumb and unable to smell.





Promise me one thing Pinky.

What's that Brain?

Never breed!

I'll Try.
