That's why I keep a stash of blanks for all my celebratory gunfire needs.

And isn't it Islamic... don't you think?

And yet - its these same middle eastern sensibilities the libs want to import to the USA en masse via Sharia Law. Were it not for the steadfast commitment of Republicans to the safeguarding of public safety and regulation, we would be seeing this same scene play out in America. November 8th will be a nice day to start again.

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blew up.

Sorry, but that just doesn't hold to the beat very well.

Remember, folks. These are the people that Mitt Romney would like you to believe are going to take over the United States, and institute Sharia Law.

I'm surprised they didn't blame it on a drone attack.

At least none of the men were hurt; otherwise the wedding would've been ruined.

"Celebratory gunfire" is such a bizarre phrase.

If he had used Democratics as an example most here would be calling for the Hero tag and would insist it be News.

We 're all in this together and we're going to share and work together to solve it by putting aside arbitrary opinions about stuff that really don't matter in the grand scheme of things

Middle eastern Red Wedding?

gremzo		2012-10-31 05:51:11 PM

Celebratory gunfire at weddings, Intolerance of other cultures, Rich from oil money, Highly religious, Opulent lifestyles, a subservient foreign underclass in the cities. Is it just me or is Saudi Arabia the Texas of Asia?

I read that as celebrity gunfire.

BHShaman		2012-10-31 05:52:21 PM

Those real world instances of 'firing into the sky' never made sense to me. Those bullets DO come down. This time, instead of shooting up someones porch a mile away they f'd their own day up.... Good.

/feel bad for the deaths though

Next time rent a kevlar tent.

That is what happens when you give modern technology to people who are mentally stuck in the 7th Century. This would not have happened if they were still armed with swords.

Shame. This wouldn't have happened if the power line had been carrying a gun.

Greta_VanHouten		2012-10-31 06:16:53 PM

Too bad it didn't fall on the men's tent. Segregated wedding receptions are retarded.

Ilmarinen		2012-10-31 06:17:54 PM

Isn't that the country with the most traffic casualties in the world? Where they don't want women to drive because it would be too dangerous?

Oh right - firing a bunch of swords into the air sounds way safer than using little round bullets.

god you're an idiot.

Well, to be fair, and I'm not taking that idiot's side by any means...

A sword wouldn't have flown high or hard enough to cut a power line.

Swords are kinda heavy, I doubt they could hit a power line with one unless the line was real low, or they were loading them into some kind of sword launcher.
