A Blast From The Past – Literally

Download this page in PDF formatTo be honest, I wasn’t sure if this is a “What the Frak??” post, or simply a humorous one – which do you think it comes under?
On tonight’s news, there was a segment about a firearm found inside the D.C. Jail.
It was about 30 seconds into the segment when I cracked up totally in uncontrollable laughter as our local newsdrone Derek McGinty, with a perfectly straight face, mentioned that the firearm was related to an incident in the D.C. Jail from 2003.
Why was this funny? I’m glad you asked me!
It transpired that the firearm was used in the shooting of four inmates back then.
Gang violence, you wonder? A drug debt? A hit? Just someone was bored?
Nope.
Apparently it was part of a grand plan – they shot themselves so that they could – get this – then sue the city for failing to protect them in Jail.
The plan apparently failed when it didn’t go as hoped – my guess is the one inmate who it seems didn’t actually want to be shot figured he stood a better chance of getting actual protection if he came clean.
The best part is how this part was reported with a totally straight face. I guess it’s the segments like that which make for an anchordrone
