It had nothing to do with gravity, Subby. TFA says he lost control of the weapon; i.e., he shot the victims dead directly as his gun started swinging around the room. They weren't killed by bullets falling from the sky.

Well, I guess technically they did fall afterwards.

That.

Article said he raked the crowd when he lost control of the gun.

I guess after killing all the Armenians, the Turks couldn't stop, and started shooting each other.

Well, that will make for one hell of an awkward anniversary. I'd probably get it annulled and get married again in six months. Although, that would be an excellent excuse for forgetting your anniversary. "I can't believe you forgot our anniversary," -- "I'm grieving." -- "You said that last year." -- "Well they're still dead!"

Still... sucks to be that guy. Can you imagine having that resting on your shoulders? Supposedly the happiest day of your life, and then that happens during the celebration, and you're directly at fault.

I mean, it's a stupid custom and all, but jeez...

Relatively Obscure: Still, it's not exactly HARD to figure out that this is a bad idea.

Bringing an AK-47 to a wedding isn't that crazy. You don't know who will show up and when you will need it. Same applies for, say, a funeral.

I don't feel sorry for him in the slightest. This wasn't some unavoidable tragedy. All he had to do was NOT FIRE A farkING ASSAULT RIFLE AT A WEDDING. Then his relatives would still be alive and he'd be banging his new bride right now instead of protecting his cornhole.

This headline reads like an FML.

/Didn't read TFA
//More funner that way

And he was aiming for the mother in law.

Doesn't one need a license to shoot turkeys?

The international investigation will find him completely guilty of first degree murder for the deaths of these wedding activists.

As real as it gets. The man didn't make it.

FTA:"Turks are notorious for breaking out into gunshots to celebrate weddings and sports victories, a practice that has caused many deaths and which authorities have so far failed to curb."


Without people like this, Homer Simpson wouldn't be funny.

Actually, for all you people whining about Subby's "misuse" of the word Gravity - try looking it up in the dictionary some time. It has another definition besides the physical attraction of masses - namely, a serious situation or problem.

I thought it was a damn clever headline.

Skail: Still... sucks to be that guy. Can you imagine having that resting on your shoulders? Supposedly the happiest day of your life,

Why would anybody with more than one functioning neuron repeat that nonsense about 'happiest day of your life'? Why would anyone think a wedding day would be the happiest day? The mind boggles. Maybe the day you met, or any of thousands of other days but the wedding? Do you bake cakes? rent overpriced limos? Explain.

Also:
"Turks are notorious for breaking out into gunshots to celebrate weddings and sports victories, a practice that has caused many deaths and which authorities have so far failed to curb."

Sounds like this is a problem that will correct itself, eventually.

For a nation of pigs, it sure is funny you don't eat'em! Jesus Christ forgave the bastards, but I can't! I hate! I hate you! I hate your nation! And I hate your people! And I fark your sons and daughters because they're pigs! You're a pig! You're all pigs.

I've often taken issue with this phrasing as well, although for some people it very well may be that day, with all the implications that it entails (rest of your life is a downhill slope, paved with disappointment; if only things stayed as good and perfect as they were on this one single event blah blah blah). But I think it basically boils down to attention. There is SO much effort on making everything PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT and even the slightest issue is blown out of proportion, to the point that even the suggestion that this might not be the BEST THING EVER gets taken as an insult. I tend to notice that the less ostentatious the wedding display, the more genuine happiness the couple and all involved seem to exude. The whole 'happiest day ever' should not tie into 'attention-whoring our love'.

You don't understand. This guy was a Turk.

whoops. my b.

Casting about for a way to set up Les Nessman . . .

I'm curious about the specifics of how this happened. Was he drunk or maybe firing on full auto with one hand or something?

A muslim killing people with an AK47? Will wonders never cease.

Groom, "whoops, my bad!"

Great film. When I first watched it, I had trouble believing it wasn't made in the last decade.

What an utterly stupendously dumb and dangerous way to celebrate.... ANYTHING.
This is what happens when Westerners gave guns to Arabia. Instead of defending their livelihood, they use them to celebrate. Why can't they use fireworks? Almost as dangerous, but prettier!

That's nobody's business but the Turk's.

I was hoping the whole time "someone get the kid. someone get the kid." But they didn't. That's messed up.

Shooting a gun in celebration should be perfectly safe as long as you know how to handle the weapon. The groom was probably a 13 year old boy with little girl arms who had never fired a gun before in his life.

Shotgun weddings don't usually end in death
