You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy!
Crazy people who think celebration equates to firepower.
Why is it that the minute you step off American soil, every other nationality thinks its ok to fire an AK 47 into the air in celebration.
Where do these numb nuts think those bullets are going? Have they not heard the age old axim: what goes up must come down?
This crazy story starts as a celebration and ends in tragedy. But then again, what wedding doesn’t end in tragedy, sooner or later.
What happened at this crazy wedding is so preposterous, that it almost makes me laugh out loud.
I know that sounds terrible and for that I apologize. But when a groom accidentally kills people in his own wedding party it makes you stop and say “Well what did you think was going to happen, dumb ass?”
DATELINE: TURKEY
According to the Anatolia News Agency: a groom accidentally killed three relatives at his wedding when he fired into the air with an assault rifle in celebration.
Eight other people were wounded at the incident at the village of Akcagoze in the southeastern province of Gaziantep.
The report indicates, the groom unleashed a volley of rapid aerial shots with an AK-47 rifle to celebrate his nuptials.
Firing rounds into the sky is apparently as acceptable in Turkey as smoking a cigar with the father of the bride here in America.
“Hey JayGar fire my assault weapon at that poop processing plant.”
“It would be my pleasure my son.”
And so it goes…
But here’s where crazy and stupid converge like a harmonic blanket of nails on a chalk board.
The Anatolia News Agency says the groom lost control of the weapon and accidentally sprayed the wedding guests with bullets.
How the hell do you lose control of your AK-47 and murder people at your own wedding?
At my wedding, I was too busy sweating wondering what the hell kind of mistake i was making to grab an assault weapon and fire it wildly.
And how do you go from firing into the sky to blowing away your future in-laws?
If firing celebratory bullets into the sky was acceptable here, you’d see a lot more gun fire at weddings. I suspect you would also see a lot less mother in law meddling.
In this case the gunman killed his own father and two of his aunts. At least he killed his own side of the family.
Believe it or not, the Turkish authorities were not pleased and they arrested the groom.
Turks are notorious for breaking out into gunshots to celebrate weddings and sports victories, a practice that has caused many deaths and which authorities have so far failed to curb.
Hey Turkey. How bout arresting more people who fire guns into the air.
Or how bout a madison avenue type PSA.
They work: I still remember; this is your brain. This is your brain on drugs.
How about this is your wedding. This is your wedding with everyone you love dead.
That’s gonna get some reaction, trust me.
You gotta start somewhere Turkey. You’ve got to get a grip on your AK’s and your sense of celebratory indulgence.
This story is crazy. Sad, but Crazy.
