Stupid is as stupid does

So according to this story out of Houston, Texas, a man shot and killed himself when the loaded gun that he was twirling on his finger discharged and blew his brains out.
Police say a man who co-owned a southwest Houston recording studio was found dead in that studio after playing with a handgun.

The 30-year-old man, who Houston police has yet to identify, was twirling his gun while in the studio and the firearm discharged leaving him shot in the head.

The studio, located on the 12,700 block of Medfield near Dairy Ashford, was used primarily to record local hip-hop music.

So he was a "rapper" Why am I not surprised. For whatever reason, the "culture" that springs up around these knuckleheads always seems to involve guns even though many of them are convicted felons, and I've yet to meet or even read about a rapper who had enough brains to come in out of the rain. Yes, it's all very well and fine to make up rhymes about raping women, selling drugs and killing police officers, but it doesn't take a lot of smarts to sit around all day doing it. I guess they get bored after a bit and move on to dumber stuff, like playing with loaded guns. My eight year old nephew knows better than that. But I guess that my eight year old nephew is (was) smarter than the late Michael Francis.

Someone on a message board I was perusing said that he hopes that this sort of thing doesn't continue--we might run out of rappers. But running out of rappers would be like running out of diarrhea--virtually impossible but if it ever did happen, I doubt that anyone who mattered would mind.

  1. haha!! I couldn't help but chuckle after reading this story of the rapper who shot himself. It just goes to show how uneducated and dumb these people really are. And to think, our children crave their music and want to be "just like them."
    Living a "rapper's" lifestyle is NOT glamourous. It is criminal. I cannot even think of one rapper who doesn't promote crime in one form or another in his lyrics.
    Justice was served in this story. He got a taste of his own medicine.
    Yeah...I sound coldhearted. But I just am tired of what these rappers are doing to our children!
