PHOENIX -- Authorities said a Surprise man has been arrested on suspicion of endangerment when the gun he was carrying discharged inside a Walmart in El Mirage. El Mirage police said the 30-year-old man entered the store around 1 a.m. Thursday and witnesses said he repeatedly fidgeted with a holstered semi-automatic pistol.

When he went to a counter to pay for a video game, witnesses said he removed the gun from the holster - causing the magazine to come loose and fall to the floor. They said he reinserted the magazine and continued manipulating the gun when it fired, sending one bullet into the ceiling.

Police said no injuries were reported. He was booked into the downtown Phoenix jail on six counts of endangerment and firing a weapon in city limits.

4. "When he went to a counter to pay for a video game..." Doesn't that tip you off right there?

Jesus- hey dude, next time you want to make some statement supporting gun rights, please don't fucking endanger the lives of innocent people through your douchy idiocy doing it.

I sense that's just too much to ask though, isn't it?

Seriuosly, what the fuck.

Reminds me of the ATF dude who shot himself in the leg full of horrified parents and children. Oh my god, what the fuck.

5. So...you go into Walmart at 1:00 a.m. with a loaded gun to buy a video game?

:wtf:

[FailureToCommunicate]

15. Right. And start PLAYING with it at the register... Maybe he sensed danger from the single

mom working double shift as cashier in the late shift...

[Catshrink]

19. Maybe he confused it with

something else "in his pocket."

17. If you're a really frightened, paranoid guy who believes in GOP's/NRA dream ...

of everyone owning a gun and taking it anywhere!

9. Here's the mugshot...

Am I psychic? How did I know he'd look generally about like that. Looks like he's got some special beard trimming thing going on.

What a maverick!

I guarantee the time in jail won't hit him as hard as not being able to get on that XBOX.

A Rome man was released on bond after being arrested for allegedly taking his clothes off in front of children in the women’s restroom of Walmart.

According to witnesses, Burnes was found in “stages of undress while on the stone floor and would do this in the presence of several young children.”

Police officers arrived to find Burnes wearing a dark woman’s suit including a short skirt and jacket, black leather coat, black high heals, red nail polish, green eye shadow and women’s jewelry. According to the witness, Burnes had been in the women’s section of the store with his skirt “kicked up showing his white girdle and dark thong underwear

This happened in a town near where I live.

20. What a fucking dumb ass.

Hope he's having a fine time in jail.

21. So I'm wondering what your picture has to do with the article...

Unless you are trying to insinuate that everyone with a black t-shirt is somehow a goofball? But I don't see any evidence for that correlation.
