Police: Teen Shot Self In Groin During Home Invasion
2003-07-21
A Newark, Del., teenager is recovering from a gunshot wound and facing felony charges after police say his attempt at a home invasion went awry. New Castle County police say Jonathan Rodriguez, 17, and two others were allegedly breaking into a Wilmington home Sunday when Rodriguez accidentally shot himself in the groin. Rodriguez was arrested after undergoing emergency surgery at Christiana Hospital. Another suspect was arrested outside the hospital, and a third was taken into custody later. Police say Rodriguez's injuries don't appear to be life-threatening.
Important safety tip here: when you go to burgle somebody's house, and you stick your rod in the waistband of your pants, put the damned safety on!

If you don't, remember to retrieve all that's left of your doinker after you blow it off. Put it in a baggy with some ice, and repair to the nearest hospital.

Easy for them to say! Seventeen year old with a shortened doinker is going to think it the end of the world.

But think what a story he'll have to tell his cellmates in the prison! Especially "Bubba".

#4  I cut off a finger back when I was a kid - and we put it in ice and approx 1.5 hrs later they sewed it back on. But about 1/2 inch "died". Kind of a stumpy-looking thing, now.

Picture this - then think about Mr Asshat in the story.

So, uh, is this guy looking at a Bobbit-style transplant, or what? Mebbe he'll become famous and make a porno! (snicker)

#3  In his case that sounds like it could be a brain injury

#2  Good. Hopefully he won't be able to breed and pass his ignorant genes onto the next generation.

#1  Sounds like he might be up for a Darwin for that one. Depends on exactly what damage was done, of course.
