White man trying to buy gun shoots self in penis — blames it on a black guy

South Dakota man is currently in custody after telling police officers he was shot in the penis by a “black guy” when he actually shot himself while attempting to purchase a gun illegally, reports the Argus Leader.

Convicted felon Donald Anthony Watson, 43, was admitted to a local emergency room late at night on Sept. 6 for a gunshot wound to his penis, and told local law enforcement that he had been shot during a botched robbery.

"Yeah, it was the Black guy..."

That infuriates me more than just about anything.

especially in light of the fact that the article clearly states that he was a convicted felon trying to buy a gun illegally. A convicted felon is in NO WAY a "responsible gun owner". Period. ANY convicted felon in possession of a gun is NOT a "responsible gun owner", they are a criminal in possession of a gun. There's no two ways around that, Hoyt.... but you already know that, don't you?

Another factless Hoytism.
Zimmerman is not an example of a law abiding, responsible gun owner, he's a POS who got away with murder by pure luck.

Most firearm owners in this country are law-abiding, responsible gun owners despite your obvious aversion to firearms and their owners.

He'a a convicted felon, therefore he cannot be a responsible gun owner, he can't even legally be a gun owner, much less responsible.

Seriously. Using racial stereotypes to get the authorities to place blame on minorities is, without question, a hate crime.

At least he can't get Bristol pregnant now.

Hey, it might be more difficult but nobody reported he also shot off his testicles. Get Bristol in an "abstinent" mood and anything is possible.

I'm being facetious. I'm sure there are some, but not many. I'm surprised he didn't claim it was a Native American: I bet he would have received a more sympathetic hearing from the local constabulary.

... Watson said he was shot by “a black guy (who) tried to rob” him while he was taking out the trash at his apartment.



I'm trying to envision this: "Give me all your trash or I'll shoot your dick off"
