Subject: Russian man shot in the head over disagreement about Kant.
A philosophical debate in the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don took a violent turn when a man allegedly shot his opponent over the work of Immanuel Kant.
Two men in their late 20s were in line for beer during an outdoor event when a lively argument over the work of the 18th century “Critique of Pure Reason” author “deteriorated into a fistfight,” according to Russian news agency RIA Novosti.
The argument concluded when one of the men produced an air gun and shot the other in the head, local authorities told RIA. The victim’s wound was not critical, but he was subsequently hospitalized. The attacker faces up to a decade in jail for “intentional infliction of bodily harm.”
In Soviet Russia, argument refute you!

Take heed : Kant is bad for your health!
Although I'd love to know how that conversation went.

"You listen to me, Komrade: you are saying "all vodka is good," and I am wondering, do you know Kant? I am asking you this because that is synthetic proposition which you cannot be knowing a priori!"
"Da, I know Kant. . . better than you, you ignorant dog! "Good" is being clearly intrinsic to the definition of "vodka," obviously making it analytic proposition, not synthetic. Also I am thinking you must have half a brain, because anyone who is knowing Kant is knowing that a proposition being synthetic is not meaning it cannot be a priori!"
"I am thinking if you are being so familiar with Kant, why are you not sexing him with your half a cock?"
"I am thinking I should beat you like homosexual."
"Oh, da?"
"Da!"
BLAM

Stay classy OT.
Russian official mocks a murder and his comment is supported by the russian Head of State.
Anonymous wargamers on an obscure forum mocks a (quite hilarious) situation in which two learned men couldn't keep it real enough and one of them shot the other with a bb gun, likely resulting in no lasting injury.

The article doesn't explicitly say that they were discussing *any* of Kant's ideas - just that they were discussing Kant. Since the dispute took place in Russia, perhaps one of the men insinuated that Kant was gay and the other viewed it as illegal propaganda and decided to take the law into his own hands?
