Guns don't kill computers.....

<snip>

A Scranton man who caught his wife chatting with men online decided to log her off for good early Tuesday — by gunning down her computer, police said.

Jason Griffith, 23, of 2226 Boulevard Ave., was arrested on charges of reckless endangerment, simple assault, terroristic threats, disorderly conduct and harassment.

Police allege Mr. Griffith fired one .40-caliber bullet into his wife’s computer tower after a 2 a.m. argument inside a bedroom on the second floor of the couple’s residence.

After returning home early Tuesday, Mr. Griffith became angry that his wife was chatting with men on the social networking Web site MySpace.com. He first assaulted her in the kitchen and then tried to drag her upstairs.

Once upstairs, he shot the computer and fired a bullet into the floor.

No one was injured.

18. Those commercials make me want to shun the MAC.

I don't use my laptop for entertainment. That's what books, museums, film, symphony and the theater are for.

PC looks like he's more into the business I do on the fucking machine.

9. Where I come from, he'd have shot the wife, the kids, the dog, six neighbors,

and the lamp his stinking mother in law gave him, then he'd have driven fifty miles to the in-laws house, shot them, then left a rambling suicide note about how his wife made him do it.

I guess we are progressing. :shrug:

For not making sure that other men aren't contacting married women.
