Nobody’s Perfect: Zombie VS Tombstone Shootings

Nobody’s Perfect

Okay. This is just weird. I’m sorry. I can’t help myself with this one.

It’s a “What came first: the bullet or the gun?” It’s not enough that we have to be reading about people going into ‘gun free” schools, and picking off Christian students…making all public colleges and grade school prime targets for nut heads. No…now it seems the nut head have decided to make it a bit more fun…

HEY! Let’s go shoot up soon cons!

By cons: events where people are just sitting around having some stupid fun.

FIRST UP: ZombieCon

Who knew that the Walking Dead TV series was such a big hit, that they now hold a festival where you can dress up like a Zombie and go dancing in the streets?

MYERS, FL – Chaos broke out at a zombie-themed street festival in downtown Fort Myers, Florida, after a shooting left one man dead and four other people wounded.

Crowds of festival goers fled screaming through the streets after the shots rang out late Saturday at ZombiCon. One man died of a gunshot wound at the scene, police said, and four other people who suffered non-life-threatening injuries were taken to Lee Memorial Hospital for treatment.

The deadly shooting took place at ZombiCon, a festival that features bands and DJs performing on stage in the downtown area to people dressed in zombie costumes. It draws upward of 20,000 attendees, police said.

Not to say that this doesn’t happen in St. Louis every weekend, where real Zombies walk the streets…it’s just that Ft. Meyers, FL? Not exactly Detroit. (I should know, I used to live by that town.)

And then there’s an even more creative way to nail some spectators: Put some real bullets in the guns of the actors reacting the fight at the O.K. Corral….Tombstone:

From The Guardian: Tombstone Rides Again

Officials called for gunfight re-enactments in the Old West town of Tombstone to be put on hold after two people were hit with bullets during a show that was supposed to involve blanks.

The shooting occurred on Sunday afternoon as two actors in the Tombstone Vigilante group engaged in a standoff as they re-enacted an episode from the town made famous by Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday and the OK Corral.

The Tombstone Marshal’s Office said one of the actor’s guns fired live rounds, hitting a fellow member of the group. Ken Curtis was flown to a hospital in Tucson, where he underwent surgery to remove the bullet. Other rounds struck businesses and a bystander whose condition was not immediately known.

The marshal says authorities inspected the weapon and found one live round in the cylinder along with five casings that indicated the six-shooter was filled with live rounds prior to the skit. At least two of the live rounds struck nearby businesses, with one bullet hitting a female bystander.

Anybody remember Brandon Lee? That’s how HE died supposedly, on the set where he was making a movie. Live ammunition was put in the movie set gun.

So, who wins the Nobody’s Perfect Award of the week?

Was it the criminal who, dressed as a Zombie (or Rick the sheriff) had watched so many Walking Dead episodes he felt he just couldn’t pass up such an opportunity to shoot himself a Zombie?

Or was it the masterminded who loaded the fake guns in Tombstone with real bullets? Somewhere out there was a real live Huckleberry who just wanted to see the real thing again.

Nobody Knows. This is just plain weird. I’d blame it on some left-wing conspiracy, but even I have to admit, it’s just too creative for a liberal wanting to get rid of guns forever government conspiracy mind.

Or…………………………………………is it?

Or do we just blame it on the usual nut cases in Obama’s Zombie lawless Wastelands?

Nobody’s Perfect. But…just the same…think I’ll stick to watching the movies.
