Anyone remember the video footage of a DEA agent giving a talk to a roomful of school kids? He's waving his gun around, telling them he's the only one professional enough to carry a gun, then proceeds to accidentally shoot himself in the foot.
Well, this hero is now suing the US Government for the release of that video. He says he's been embarrassed, and humiliated. Guess what, knucklehead, if you go and shoot yourself in front of a roomful of kids, you should be embarrassed and humiliated. Thank goodness none of the kids were hurt by his stupidity. I can't believe this dude is allowed to sue because he's embarrassed about a dumbass mistake.
BTW, this article contains a variation of a phrase that irritates the snot out of me. "When the gun discharged." The gun didn't didn't discharge, the trigger was pulled and the machine functioned as designed. That phrase is designed to put blame on an inanimate object instead of the person holding it.
