She heard about the dog firing the shotgun in the truck.
“I will never financially recover from this”
They shot his ram… In this economy? Fuck man
I’d rather need new ram than a new rib, lung, kidney etc
This must be a part of Sam Altman’s grand plan to end general purpose consumer electronics.
We can’t keep calling every son of a bitch a dog.
I feel like that’s not a valid thing to say. “My dog shot the gun”.
I’m sure it won’t hold up in court, but it also doesn’t hold up anywhere else. Don’t keep your guns loaded with the safety off where they are accessible.
You might as well just shoot your family and neighbors yourself if you’re doing that shit.
Anyone who is picking up their pitch forks at the offender needs to read this thread first. Before you unload your rage, consider taking what the victim did as a learning opportunity.
It was 3:30am in the morning when the shot happened. The neighbor who discharged the firearms rushed downstairs to check on the woman who’s PC was shot, thankfully finding that she was not hurt. She was distraught, frantic, and told the PC owner that she will never own a firearm again and pay for all damages. They talked, and the PC owner learned that her daughter just passed away. A police report was still filed, but the PC owner isn’t pressing charges. They’re getting margaritas later together.
Let me be clear that this absolutely does not excuse what this woman did. However, what the PC owner did likely saved her neighbor’s life. You see, at 3:30am in morning, there is only typically one thing people would do with a fire arm, to themselves.
Anyone would be in their right to be angry at this woman after what she did. But the PC owner extended her compassion and became this woman’s friend at a time when she had every reason not to.
What the headline could have been was ‘woman commits suicide after negligent discharge’, but it was not. Imagine if the PC owner was the last person who spoke to her in anger, and imagine if she had to live with that for the rest of their life knowing that she could have done something about it.
This sounds super sus. I couldn’t find the comment where OP said the neighbor was upstairs, but the damage in the photos, to me, looks like the bullet came from the side. And it doesn’t jive with OPs comment in the in the original post.
The police said that the PC changed the trajectory of the bullet, and it would have hit me while I was sleeping if the PC hadn’t been there.
If the shot came from upstairs, where would the PC case need to be to change the trajectory to keep it from hitting you in bed? Hypothetically it could be possible, but those are some weird ass angles to make that work. Unlikely.
With the photo of the bullet mostly intact (I would expect it to be more deformed than that), that was supposedly found underneath the OPs pillow?? That they were supposedly dead asleep on? I don’t think this actually happened. This is a work of fiction.
Where I live, anyone who owns a firearm is required to keep it in a locked gun safe when not in use, and there are strict rules around transporting a firearm as well.
They cannot be left unattended in a vehicle, and they absolutely cannot, under any circumstances, be left loaded.
The fact that Americans have loaded firearms just kicking around in their house is utterly insane.
Are you suggesting the dog couldn’t have accessed the gun in the safe and shot through the wall? Why would you assume a gun owner is capable of being irresponsible? You must be that fake news I hear so much about.
Hey, so, as she’s being charged for it, the fact is she was negligent because it wasn’t properly secured…
So, uhh, what are you saying?
If you leave a loaded firearm with a round chambered and the safety off out where “your dog” can set it off, that’s still negligence!
But was the GPU OK? That’s gold right there.
It looks like it’s just some of the RAM and the mobo. The obviously-AI article says they got $3500. The Insurance probably views the whole unit as one item and pays for it all. Unless the owner is a dumbass and says “oh, just pay me for the parts that were damaged and I’ll salvage the rest.”
I would sue the hell out of that neighbor, not just for the PC and the the hole in the wall. And he should be made to turn in all weapons, as there is this incident is proof that he is not up to the responsibility of gun ownership.
Bro, it was the dog.
The dog should turn in all the weapons in that case.
Please! Think of the GPU!
And oh… The RAM… that poor fucking RAM never had a chance… Did it have a family?
No, the firearm was negligently discharged by your “dog,” dumbass.
Exactly, poor defence for negligence.
I don’t own a gun. It’s has nothing to do with politics. I’m a suicide risk; I don’t need a ticket to the bullet train.
The problem is that many, maybe most people are like me. They shouldn’t have a gun. If others were self-aware like me, shit like this would be much more rare. I think you shouldn’t be able to buy a gun unless every member of the household can pass a gun safety test. Including the pets.
Well yea, the motherboard clearly says “military grade”
So that’s what that means. I always wondered.
Insurance infinite money hack: getting your computer shot during an AI-driven semiconductor drought. Rinse and repeat, just remember to cash out before the bubble pops!
Lol insurance is gonna say ‘Well you paid x for the computer, we’ll offer you x-30%’
That’s if they’re covered at all.
Doesn’t insurance generally exclude acts of dog?
My €10/month optional insurance includes damages by me or my dog to the property of others. (I can’t really translate the insurance name.) However in this case they would fight it because of the fucking gun. If my dog would damage your computer by running against it you’ll get paid though. It’s a cool insurance, I can throw peoples phones on the ground and jump head first into their TV if I want.
Am I wrong or this article looks completely written by a LLM? The way it always repeats the redditor username is so weird.
Articles like this are a valid reason to choose an username like ‘igargleexpiredcum’
All those dog open-carry advocates got some splainin’ to do now.
This specific dog just had bad trigger discipline. Regular gun owning dogs are good boys.
