Frustrated Technophobe 'Kills' Computer, Gets Citation

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Apr 22, 2015, 1:39 AM ET

For killing the source of his frustration and abandoning the body in an alley, a Colorado man could be considered lucky for just receiving a citation — except his victim was his computer.

The Colorado Springs Gazette reports that 37-year-old Lucas Hinch was slapped with a ticket for discharging a weapon within city limits after he took his computer outside and shot it eight times.

Colorado Springs police Lt. Jeff Strossner, who issued the citation, says Hinch told him he had been fighting his computer for months before he decided to exact his revenge. Hinch accepted his citation without problem and told Strossner he did not realize he was breaking the law.

The penalty for the citation will be up to a judge.

Hell, I feel as if we should award Mr. Hinch with a citation, The Golden Order of the RAM.

"Mr. Lucas Hinch is recognized for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity when faced with recalcitrant information technology. Mr. Hinch took decisive action and unerringly placed eight 9mm rounds in the tower thereby ensuring that it could no longer give him or anyone else slow response times and further ensuring that it could only provide the Blue Screen of Death."

Pffft..

Who hasn't done that, or at least wanted too a few times? :island14:


But I have to wonder if it was a Revolver... and he had to reload.. :Jeff '79:
