Dust off the Darwin Award, kids. We’ve got ourselves a new champion.
In yet another, shining example of dumb ass exceptionalism, Edwin Smith, a 69-year-old moron in North Carolina “blowed” his arm off with his own shotgun Monday morning, after a security contraption he created misfired as he tried to feed squirrels through the back door.
That’s right; the man socializes with squirrels AND he owns a deadly weapon. ‘Merica! USA, Muther F@#$er!
In 911 audio released by multiple media outlets, Smith tells a dispatcher, “I just blowed my arm off. Please hurry, I’m gonna die. I’m gonna die. I’m in the driveway, I’m gonna die. Just tell everybody I love them, OK?”
Spoiler alert: Smith didn’t die. In the future, however, he’ll be forced to use his other arm when feeding squirrels.
Thus, we have another cautionary tale of redneck home security gone wrong.
