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

Burkman was also behind a bizarre attempt this year to accuse special counsel Robert Mueller of sexual harassment, a conspiracy theory that quickly fell apart.

Yeah, that episode sure went off the radar quick. Any consequences for the defamers and false accusers?

Well, on a percentage basis it’s hard to shoot him and not hit ass.

The Coen brothers take their inspiration from an America that’s really deeply rooted and easily findable at any time if you go looking. Read “Huckleberry Finn,” it’s the same thing.

The thing here is that the guy is so dumb that he is not ashamed of posting a video of himself being stupid. He said that he did it for didactic purposes.

He’s a “conspiracy theorist”, and yet, didn’t see this coming? Even that aspect of the Republican Party has gone to pot.

Well, the net result is he’s effectively illustrated that the 1911, for all its cachet, is a tricky and dangerous gun for anybody but a seriously trained professional to use as a carry weapon. If it had gone worse he could have bled out on video and really taught us all something. The thing about guns is you cannot make a mistake, and he made one.

I’m sure Doherty tried to run over Burkman only because he felt threatened by him. This seems to be a common problem in the wider nutjob community.

But … we’re giving him a medal too, right?

Burkman and Doherty are typical modern day conservative intellectuals. Their motto: Shoot first, aim later.

Separately, I am wondering whether Burkman had implants in his ass that saved his life? Also, whether he got them from the same surgeon who did Preshitident Skanky-Manslut and First Lady Iwanka Trump got theirs out of a sense of party loyalty? Speaks highly to the quality of Chinese-made silicone stuffing.

Other than Burkman’s 15 minutes of fame being all about zipper failure?

I’m wondering if the resulting brain damage contributed to the attempt to frame Mueller?

Is there any truth to the rumor that Rich’s parents – who begged tools like Burkman and Sear Hannity to drop the whole thing – hired Doherty to shoot Burkman in the ass but running him over with his SUV was all Doherey’s idea?

“quickly had disagreements on the project and Burkman ultimately fired Doherty.”

But then Doherty ultimately fired on Burkman giving him a memorable ass whoopin’.
