A Charlotte, NC man tried to rob a convenience store last week. This Bucket-O-Irony story only goes downhill and more bizarre from there, folks.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Shooting breaks out \u2013 at anti-violence vigil<\/a><\/h3>\n

Let’s get this process mapped..<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The bad guy gets a fatal case of lead poisoning while trying to rob a convenience store<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. Boo Frickin’ Hoo.<\/li>\n
  3. Mothers Of Murdered Offspring (yes… the MOMO’s) decide to have a vigil to stop the violence.<\/li>\n
  4. People remark that the best way that this violence could have been stopped was if the guy hadn’t tried to rob a convenience store.<\/li>\n
  5. The “ELM” (Eat Lead, Motherf*CENSORED!*)<\/em>\u00a0 advocacy group decides not to have a vigil, but I would have attended that one.<\/li>\n
  6. There is no “ELM” advocacy group like that but if there was, I’d join it.<\/li>\n
  7. Somebody brings a firearm to the MOMO anti-violence rally and apparently fires it into the crowd.<\/li>\n
  8. That person is obviously not very good with a firearm, as 4 people are wounded and none of them seriously.<\/li>\n
  9. Everybody runs and the rally ends.<\/li>\n
  10. Police investigate the shooting incident.<\/li>\n
  11. Police quickly rule out the convenience store clerk who shot Javon Booker, as that clerk was clearly proficient with a firearm.<\/li>\n
  12. Comments on that Charlotte Observer article quickly devolve into a painfully hilarious trainwreck.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    At least I expected that final step.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
