Bullet Lodges In Florida Man's Testicles After Wife Shoots Him Over Extramarital Affair

http://www.hngn.com/articles/194308/20160401/bullet-lodges-florida-mans-testicles-wife-shoots-over-alleged-extramarital.htm

One Florida man learned Wednesday that its best not to cheat on your wife after she shot him in the knee for the act and the bullet wound up becoming lodged in his testicles.

Well that's one way to make him keep it in his pants. A Florida man now has a bullet lodged in his testicle after his wife lost control and shot him during a confrontation about an alleged affair.

The wife, 60-year-old Victoria Reid, was arrested Wednesday evening in Rockledge and charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and aggravated assault domestic violence.

Oh Florida man!

Otherwise this domestic dispute might have been resolved in a court of law or a marriage counselor's office, and nobody would have gotten shot.

So yeah, very telling that IPV is either a joke or a very serious matter depending on what plumbing the injured was born with. Some people also get a good belly laugh out of prison rape.

In fact, there's a horrible story in GD right now about "honor killings".

Violence isnt funny, thats my point, even if it is "only" some guy's kneecap and/or nuts that are getting shot.

Thanksgiving day, late 70s or early 80s. Bill Close was this old anchor working for the CBS affiliate, wore bolo ties instead of a tie, looked like the newscaster on the Simpsons, but even older. Not sure why the lead anchor was working on Thanksgiving, he was a tad strange, but it became obvious that the rest of the crew would rather have been home.

He is reading a story which basically went, "A woman in Awatukee shot her estranged husband and another female in his home this morning. The man was shot in the thigh, the woman was shot in the cheek, (now at the point my cousins and I are howling, but the writer had one more line) only one shot was fired." The camera is shaking at this point, I'm sure the camera man was doing his best to maintain control, then old Bill gets a sick look on his face. No doubt someone was fired for that one.
