Dipshits Shouldn't Have The Right To Bear Arms

Precise 880 .22 Caliber Starter RevolverOn Friday, if the allegations are true, Antwan Rogers ruined his life. He turned 18-years-old today while he sat in Cook County court for his bond hearing on first degree murder charges. Prosecutors say that on Friday, Rogers pulled out a 22-caliber revolver, pointed it at 26-year-old Lionell Neither and pulled the trigger twice. The gun did not fire. Whew! Close one Antwan! You really could have done something you'd regret later—you dipshit. But Neither ain't no scholar neither. See, when someone pulls out a pistol, we're gonna go ahead and run. We'd rather be cowards than dead cowards. And then when someone points the gun at us, if we haven't started yet, we're running. And then if someone pulls the trigger twice and the gun doesn't fire? Again, we high-tail it.

But here's where Neither's genius uncovers itself. After the incident he allegedly made fun of Rogers because his gun was small and it didn't fire. Uhm, just guessing here, but it seems like people that not only carry guns but don't hesitate to point them at people and pull the trigger probably don't take jokes real well. The last thing we'd want to say to that sort of person is "Dude, remember when you pointed that gun at us earlier and pulled the trigger and it didn't fire? That shit was funny yo. You are SUCH a PUSSY!"

So after Neither ridiculed him, Rogers pulled out the gun once more and this time the gun fired and the bullet hit Neither in the chest and killed him.
