Obviously it's spending time on this site

This again?

I type a lot faster than the average person, therefore I can post a lot more quickly. Keep your incorrect assumptions to yourselves.

Typing speed isn't the limiting factor for most people, having something to contribute to a given topic is, followed by reading over what one has written to correct errors or awkward phrasing (or at least, this step is ideal). Now, I don't know what you generally post, and I can't be bothered to check, so you might be fitting both of those factors, but I must contest that typing speed is an important factor in all this.


On topic: at least bows aren't particularly deadly with medical attention, on account of not pulverizing and shredding one's internal organs like bullets or causing profuse bleeding and possessing a potential for multiple injuries like knives.

I'm aware of this, but the fact that I really do not care to argue the point meant that I provided only one reason that I didn't elaborate on.

End of that discussion, back to the normalities of life such as shooting your dad in the head with an arrow..

Wait, she shot* him in the head and he still managed to crawl to a phone and call for help?

Either a joke or ignorance.

Or perhaps he was just writing to confirm something.

Nope, it didn't penetrate his skull Apostle, otherwise he'd most likely be dead.

I meant a joke to be made...
Then again people have survived some pretty funky things. I know of a few people that have been shot in the head and survived.

There's an old documented case of a man who took a railroad spike through the brain and walked to see the doctor about it. It's a pretty interesting read, and I'm sure someone with a better functioning memory could point you in the direction of the story.

You can't see the possibility for a joke in "I assume it didn't penetrate his skull then?" ?

"Mr Heretic, I'm afraid we've got good news and bad news."

"What's the good news?"

"You're a lucky man good sir, the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT failed to penetrate your skull!"

"Does that mean I'm going to live?"

"Well.. then comes the bad news."

"Which is?"

"Well whilst the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT failed to penetrate your skull, it did however crush your body."

"Oh. Think I can claim this as a work accident?"

"I don't know, you'll have to take it up with your superiors."

"Aw dammit, my boss' don't care about the average mediocre cultist employee."

"That's unfortunate for you sir. Now, about the pain.."

"What pain? There is no pain."

"..The pain of being a traitorous dog such as yourself. We have the perfect cure in the form of this .75 Bolter round."

Srsly though, this girl should be put in jail or something. What happens when the dad grounds her and doesn't allow her to be on Facebook? A mace to the head?

I've just re-read the report... did they actually catch her?

I've done alot worse. If i ever met that girl in court I will be sure to ask her that with a good pun.


They got her

Ahh good...

Thats 1 crazy psycho bitch off the streets.

One down, fifteen million to go.

Some more details that add a bit of context to this story.

First from here:
http://www.q13fox.com/news/kcpq-deputies-say-teen-shot-dad-with-bow-and-arrow-over-cell-phone-20110525,0,7677408.story

Iovinelli managed to get into his truck and drive to his neighbor and friend Dave Blackwood's house for help.

Blackwood says, "He rolled his window down and said Dave bring your phone I need you to call 911 for me." He's got a very tall truck and I looked in and you could see an arrow protruding perpendicular from his body. I mean right side about here straight out. He said he was walking through part of his house and it was dark in one of the rooms and he felt something hit him and he looked and there was an arrow in his side and his daughter was in ... I don't know which room, he didn't explain and he said what did you do and then he pushed her away so she must have been fairly close."

And the aftermath, from here:
http://thechronicleherald.ca/World/1245527.html

A Special Weapons and Tactics team surrounded the girl in the woods and arrested her for investigation of first-degree assault. The girl was not injured but was taken to Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital because she was despondent, Adam said.

The man has sole custody of the girl and is apparently her only relative in the area, where they have lived for at least eight years, Adam said. Her mother lives out of state and has no contact with the girl.

She was despondant...
Why is this weird to me?
It doesn't seem the right frame of mind for someone who has just been arrested by a SWAT team after shooting her dad in the head with an arrow...

Either the news is once again understating or the American's have a different idea of what despondant means to us.

And it'd be relative easy to isolate and pick out SWAT with a bow. just stay up high and aim for the armour joins.

Please tell me this isn't serious?

You really think you could easily take on a team of what is essentially a paramilitary group by aiming for gaps in their armor with a bow and arrow? Methinks you've been taking the Black Library books a little to seriously.

The SWAT team tracked the girl down and captured her in nearby woods around 11 p.m.

Detective William Adams said the girl was found "to be despondent with a serious medical issue.”

Iovinelli was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. He is in serious condition.

The girl was transported to Mary Bridge Children's Hospital.

The Sheriff's Department said she is being treated for medical issues, but did not specify any further as to her condition.

From that first of the newer articles. Hospital makes a bit more sense if they're treating a real medical condition.

I'm interested to see if any more details on this crop up, but I'd be kind of surprised if they do at this point.

Perhaps it's a euphemism for "tried to kill herself"?
