Norfolk, Va. -- Folks who live on Red Brooke Road off East Little Creek Road never thought they'd be dealing with blood stains on their street or neighbors who wield guns near their kids. But then they live in the land of delusion.
But that's exactly what they say happened Tuesday night when a driver accidentally shot himself.
Neighbors tell NewsChannel 3 it happened because of an argument over speeding. Couldn't figure out which way to point it?
"My friends were standing right there in the yard and the guy came flying by and they were like 'slow down, there's kids' and the guy did a U-turn and pulled over," said Ashley Summerson, who was standing outside down the street when the gun went off. There was an earth-shattering kaboom!
After getting out of his car and waving around a gun, neighbors say the gun suddenly went off. All by itself. Obviously an evil gun.
"Pulled his gun out trying to shoot one of them but he shot himself," Summerson says. Sounds like he needs more range time.
"He was holding his groin and there was blood everywhere," said neighbor Zach Watson. Pulled a Napoleon and blew his boneapart.
Residents say it could have turned out much worse. They say the kids playing in the street were just feet away from where the man was shot. There are some people who should not have weapons.
"I'm just happy none of the kids got hurt," Watson says. "I'd rather get shot than one of these kids."
Neighbors say the two men who flagged down the shooter for speeding went with police.

This is my rifle.
This is my gun.
This is for shooting.
This is for fun.
The man obviously never made it to basic training.

And everybody stood around laughing at him. After a long while, someone remembered to call the police. After the the police stopped laughing at him, they called an ambulance.

[NYPOST] He thought he was a woman trapped in a man's body -- but it turns out he's "just another boring straight guy." "Once she got out of my body all that was left was... me. Dunno where she went. But I'm not transgender! I just like wearing pink underwear!"
ABC News editor Don Ennis strolled into the newsroom in May wearing a little black dress and an auburn wig and announced he was transgender and splitting from his wife. He wanted to be called Dawn. "But don't get fresh!"
But now he says he suffered from a two-day bout of amnesia that has made him realize he wants to live his life again as Don. "I'm done with all that stuff! I wanta drink beer and burp! I wanta scratch my butt whilst I'm watching football on the teevee, maybe even vent a little methane!"
"I accused my wife of playing some kind of cruel joke, dressing me up in a wig and bra and making fake ID's with the name 'Dawn' on it. "Honest! I went on a bender and I woke up and there was my bra, hanging from my nipple!"
"Seriously," Ennis wrote in a memo he posted to the newsroom bulletin board Friday, explaining his shock after he woke up from what he called a "transient global amnesia" last month. "It was induced by my evil twin, while I was recovering from a subdural hematoma! I knew right then that he was the real killer!"
The memo was first obtained by the website NewsBlues.com "Hey, Harry! Look at dis! You remember that ABC guy who showed up dressed like a broad?"
"It became obvious this was not the case once I took off the bra -- and discovered two reasons I was wearing one," he said, referring to his hormone-induced breasts. "Whoa! Bartender! Milk for everyone!"
"I thought it was 1999 . . . and I was sure as hell that I was a man," Ennis said in the e-mail titled "Not Reportable, Very Confirmed." "Uhhh... Honey? Have you seen my manly member?"
"Fortunately, my memories of the last 14 years have since returned. But what did not return was my identity as Dawn," said Ennis, who had been wearing lipstick, skirts and heels. "She left me! Forever! It's all over! [Sob!]"
"I am writing to let you know I'm changing my name . . . to Don Ennis. That will be my name again, now and forever. And it appears I'm not transgender after all. "I'm just a dumbass who watches too many soap operas and whose wife is mainly glad to have somebody like me. To take out the garbage."

The complex in Castle Rock changed the contract and give until Oct. 1 to comply.
I don't know Colorado tenant protections, but changing a contract while in the middle of a contract is bull; unless 10/1 is the official renewal date for the entire complex.
Personally I think these manager whores should go back to working Colfax to remember what happens when they change the terms in the middle of a John.
Brendan O'Conner of Malice Afterthought, a security consulting agency, is not helping bring back your sense of safety. A self-described and unabashed hacker who has worked for DARPA, O'Conner has also taught at the US military's cybersecurity school. His new project, CreepyDOL (or Creepy Distributed Object Locater), is raising eyebrows.
Essentially, CreepyDOL allows a user to track, locate and then break into some unsuspecting victim's smartphone.
"For a few hundred dollars," he says, "I can track your every movement, activity and interaction, until I find whatever it takes to blackmail you."
O'Conner, 27, wanted to see if a private citizen could do pretty much the same thing the NSA is doing but on a budget. He created boxes, costing a mere $57, that intercepted and transmitted data carried by nearby Wi-Fi networks.
"Actually it's not hard," O'Conner told The New York Times. "It's terrifyingly easy...It could be used for anything depending on how creepy you want to be."
"It eliminates the idea of 'blending into a crowd,'" he claims. "If you have a wireless device (phone, iPad, etc.), even if you're not connected to a network, CreepyDOL will see you, track your movements and report home."
O'Conner contends that he didn't spy on anyone, instead testing the equipment only on himself. In fact, he says that use of the device on someone is a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, which WikiLeaks whistleblower Bradley Manning was convicted of last week.
"I haven't done a full deployment of this because the United States government has made a practice of prosecuting security researchers," O'Conner says. "Everyone is terrified."
Doubt this makes the Chicago Tribune front page.
The oldest person who voted in Zimbabwe's 31 July poll is 135 years old and still serves in the Zimbabwe National Army, zimelections13.com has claimed in a tweet.
"The oldest person who voted in Zimbabwe's July 31 poll is135 years old and still serves in the Zimbabwe National Army", it tweeted.
The allegation comes as the outcry over the outcome of the just ended disputed elections in Zimbabwe continues to rattle the country and the international community, with the US saying it noted a "number of serious concerns".
Zimbabwes incumbent president Robert Mugabe won overwhelmingly in the polls which have been dismissed as a 'sham' by his long-time arch rival Morgan Tsvangirai of the Movement Democratic Change.
The Navy has decided that it will not repair the nuclear-powered submarine USS Miami after concluding that the cost of repairing damage from a fire set by a civilian worker is more than it can afford due to mandated budget cuts.
The decision to scrap the Groton, Conn.-based sub comes after a damage assessment by the Navy found that estimated repair costs, originally estimated to be about $450 million, have risen dramatically, a Navy official told The Military Times.
Rear Adm. Rick Breckenridge, director of undersea warfare, said Tuesday that repairing the submarine would have meant canceling work on dozens of other ships because of new budget constraints. He said that would've hurt the Navy's overall readiness.
"The Navy and the nation simply cannot afford to weaken other fleet readiness in the way that would be required to afford repairs to Miami," Breckenridge said in a statement.
More feel goodery about another media empire that is crumbling.
The New York Times Company [$NYT] reported second quarter 2013 earnings 48% below last year's quarter due to severance and other "special" items but digital paid subscriptions rose 40%. In other words, digital paid subscriptions can't float the bottom line. If Pinchie hurries he can get as much as Bezos paid for WaPo...

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
