Man shoots computer in Colorado Springs alley, gets revenge he wanted - and a citation



When ctrl + alt + delete doesn't work, just shoot the darn thing.

That's what one man did on Monday night, according to Colorado Springs police. Lucas Hinch, 37, was cited for discharging a weapon within city limits after he took the fight with his computer outside and got the revenge most of us only dream about.

"He got tired of fighting with his computer for the last several months," Lt. Jeff Strossner said. "He was having technology problems, so he took it out in the back alley and shot it."

Strossner tweeted Hinch "executed" his computer in an alley on the 2200 block of West Colorado Avenue.

It just seems to me that Dells don't work quite as well as other machines.

for decades in an effort to "teach it a lesson", while the CPU sits by, laughs and plots its next move
