Pregnant woman, 19, 'shot her boyfriend dead in front of their daughter, 3, as he attempted to stop a .50-caliber bullet with a BOOK he was holding up to his chest in bid for YouTube stardom'

in #news7 years ago

A Minnesota woman charged with shooting her boyfriend of five years has told police it was due to a YouTube stunt gone horribly wrong.

Monalisa Perez, 19, of Halsted, allegedly shot Pedro Ruiz III, 22, in the chest with a .50-caliber Desert Eagle pistol on Monday while their three-year-old daughter looked on.

Perez fled the house screaming and later said the book was supposed to stop the bullet in a bid to create a viral video, family members told the Star Tribune.

Are you serious? Are people really that dumb just to make a few bucks on youtube and a fucking Desert Eagle for God sakes, one of the most powerful hand guns you can buy.

Here's some safety tips everyone should know about guns.

  1. Always treat a gun likes it loaded.

  2. Never point a gun at something you don't intend to kill.

I'm curious what he thought would be an appropriate book to stop the .50 cal ae, the bible? I bet one of those things could easily penetrate 6 inches of paper.

Truly a stupid act on his parts and now she faces a possibility of 10 years in prison for manslaughter.

Sort:  

What law do you think Minnesota will pass first?

-Banning .50-cal handguns?
-Banning the book he mistakenly believed would save him?
-Banning idiots from watching YouTube?

Ban YouTube...
JK.

Resharing @phibetaiota as a Comic.

all of the above.

If the book was a Bible I'd agree with you. But you KNOW they'll never outlaw idiots... Who'd vote for the Democrats then?

You know it'll be the guns first. After all..guns are evil right?!? Lol

(Elites rubbing hands together)
Good...gooood...the dumbing down of America is going exactly as planned!

Haha wow natural selection at its finest

Poor little girl. Can you imagine how horrifying it was to her? Like I said...so stupid!

Yup, lost her dad and mom is probably going to prison for a couple years.

😓

This absolutely is nuts...one would have thought they would have at least tested their theory out before trying this stupid stunt...I hope the best for her but such a terrible choice they made :( ...possible 10 years in prison and a life time of sadness.

In the full article at Daily Mail they said he tested it first on a book and it stopped it. Who knows if he was using a new book or the same book while she shot him but either way stupidity and guns don't mix.

/agree and thank you... I should have read the link.

This is absolutely nuts, what they go through I do not know!

This is one of those hold my beer and watch this moments...

BAN ALL THE THINGS NOW!!!!

Yup, time to ban youtube :)

This is some crazy shit!

I don't know to many rednecks that would shoot their guns in the house. Except for that Demolition Ranch guy on youtube but even he didn't have kids in the house.
