Paris policeman shot in head as he pleads for life

I broke my can opener once while opening a can of watties spaghetti. Crap day at work and I was starving. I'd initiated about a half inch slit opening on edge of can then it broke.
Out of frustration I slammed the can down on the kitchen bench.
Much to my surprise half the contents of the can then erupted out the small opening and sprayed up across the ceiling like a crime scene. My flatmate got home five mins later and she was not impressed.
On the plus side if I ever have to murder anyone I know how long it takes to clean up the mess on the ceiling part anyway

If any of you don't believe me try it, but before the wife/girlfriend/mistress gets home!!!

I find myself asking, if you poke a stick at a hornet's nest long enough should you really be surprised if they sting you to death?

I guess if you are stupid enough to poke a hornets nest you WOULD be surprised when they start stining you to death

ME? I'd pour a bucket of petrol on the fuckers and nuke them!

Wrong, blanks produce fuck all smoke. Without a muzzle block a weapon won't cycle when firing blanks, so bugger all is ejected.

The shear impact velocity would pressurise the inside of the skull and splatter contents everywhere.

Also wrong, and I can tell you haven't done much shooting. 7.62mm rounds really don't leave much of a hole.

Source: Was in the army, fired plenty of blanks and plenty of 7.62mm into pig's heads.

I get your analogy but the situation just isn't like that - nearly all of these terrorists are homegrown. Nuking the nest might just make them nastier.

They're French FFS.

Perhaps a better analogy might be paparazzi who hound a celebrity until that celebrity snaps and goes on a paparazzi killing spree.

What sympathy would you have for the paparazzi?

But would they be a celebrity without any paparazzi??

I suppose that depends whether their celebrity status is based on talent or good looks.

It was a problem, and for many years I refused to look into the conspiracy theories simply because doing so entailed watching the horrific act again.

So one of the key differences is time, but another is that I would watch those videos to determine plausibility of the building falling; that content is nothing like watching a man get shot in the head while pleading for his life. And then to mutter ignorantly about how bullets affect this and that and start on the conspiracy theories just for the sake of it, is quite ghoulish.
