2. Can we at least call THIS guy a GUN NUT?

Please?

[The Straight Story]

7. Yeah, I would call this guy both a gun nut and plain old nut too :) (nt)

[Rebubula]

13. How about...

....we call people who believe this story - Suckers???


This is a fake story from a satire outlet.

[EstimatedProphet]

15. Does it? What outlet?

Knoxville News-Sentinel is a legitimate newspaper. It isn't The Onion.

On edit: I saw the note about this being satire after I posted this. When legitimate news starts reporting satire as actual news, it's time to worry about the state of journalism.

8. "In 2004, Forthman tried to shoot himself in the torso after having chest pains."

Jesus Christ. I am trying to wrap my head around the idea of someone who tries to shoot at a burning house because he's mad at it, but then I find out he tried to shoot his own chest because it was in pain! This is clearly a disturbed individual.

10. Just wait until he starts having prostate problems. n/t

[Ian David]

9. He was shooting at THIS guy...

[ehrnst]

11. Not an actual story, but from a satirical blog, much like the Onion.

16. Well well

Legitimate newspapers are reporting this. Do a news search and it will show up in other papers too. Guess they got fooled as well.

[Statistical]

21. One would think the part where he tries to shoot himself in the chest to solve chest pain

would have given it away.

I mean a guy who shoots at a burning house? Ok maybe.
A guy who tries to shoot himself in the chest? A whole new level of unlikely.

18. does appear to be a hoax.

although it is all over the blogs, it does not appear in a search of the website for the knoxville sentinel, which is supposed to be the newspaper that this is from.
