Discussion: Disgruntled Employee Gets 9 Years For Shooting Conspiracy Theorist Burkman

I thought I had something for this based on the saying ā€œHe that lieth down with dogs shall rise up with fleasā€ but then I actually had to do something useful.

Somehow I never pictured being shot in the ass twice as ā€œpoetic justice,ā€ but for Burkman? Yeah, I can see that.

Too bad he shot him in the ass.

Thereā€™s a theory on another site that he would have gotten a lower sentence if he had just finished the jobā€¦

You mean he would have got a lower sentence if heā€™d raised his aim. Interesting.

I imagine these conspiracy wackos are a huge pain in the prison group therapy sessions. Theyā€™re not real open to the idea theyā€™re wrong about a thing.

I hope itā€™s okay to laugh about this. Iā€™m scrawling the calculus on my walls trying to figure out whether it is or not, but all the scribbles keep resolving into cartoons of Burkman getting shot in the ass

Okay, Iā€™ll state the obvious. Burkman is not having a good year.

ā€œWhy, that looks like the document now! Iā€™ll just bend over and get it.ā€

It wasnā€™t actually planned, Doherty just couldnā€™t resist a target of opportunity

Donā€™t feel overly bad. Itā€™s nice of you even to think about it both ways. This video has 645K views and itā€™s not terribly sympathetic to the guy who got shot. I laughed myself sick the first 15 times I saw it.

How sick and twisted do you have to be that one of you political co-conspirators shoots you.

Burkman should be fine with being shot - itā€™s just another unfortunate exercise of 2A freedoms and one which is easily mitigated by some thoughts and some prayers, especially since he survived.

The running over part, thoughā€¦ Dastardly indeed because thereā€™s nothing in the constitution about automobiles (indeed, Iā€™m surprised the GOP doesnā€™t push to make them all illegal, given their originalist leanings).

A disgruntled deep operative of Hillary Killary finagled himself a job with the worldā€™s second smartest man. And after gaining his innocent trust, used a bullet that had been prepared from lead made from the swords of melted down confederate hero statues, to load into a gun provided by Soros and after saying a silent prayer to his atheist god, pulled the trigger as hero Burkman was spinning around to draw on him, thus accidentally being made the recipient of those bullets in the place where he is accustomed to sit while saving American from immigrints.

oh, and buy gold and some survival meal packs while youā€™re at it.

Iā€™d seen the original clip some time ago and almost didnā€™t watch this clip ā€” this new improved version had me falling off my chair!

Glad you gave it a chanceā€”this is one of those rare remakes, like ā€œTrue Grit,ā€ thatā€™s vastly superior to the original.

Yeah, I only played it again because I needed a laugh and this guy was such a moranā€¦ I was so surprised when the music started up. I hooted loud enough that my husband came out of his study and said, whatā€™s going on?? He laughed ā€˜til he had tears in his eyes too ā€” but assumed the guy shooting himself was a jokeā€¦had to explain what happened.

This is the plot of the next Coen brothers movie, right? Do people this bizarre and unstable really exist?

Youā€™ve seen the evidence with your own eyes now, unless you think this clip is fake. :laughing:
