Here’s a story you never hear about Mac users.
A 37-year-old Colorado man was so frustrated with his malfunctioning Dell XPS 410 desktop that he pulled out a pistol and proceeded to unload eight rounds right into its worthless side.
“I just had it,” said Lucas Hinch, who apparently took the machine out behind the “homeopathic herb store” he operates (remember: Colorado legalized recreational marijuana in 2012. *cough*), withdrew a 9mm pistol out of his belt, and kept on firing at the computer until the chamber went click, click, click.
Responding to reports of gunfire, Hinch was then ticketed by police for discharging his gun within city limits, which is a misdemeanor. Hinch, though, doesn’t seem to care. He told the Los Angeles Times:
“It was glorious,” he said. “Angels sung on high.”…
“It was premeditated, oh, definitely,” he said. “I made sure there wasn’t anything behind it and nothing to ricochet.”
Hinch also had his pistol confiscated, and it’s unclear if or when he will get it back.
As for why Hinch decided to blow his Dell’s brains out? The culprit was an endless succession of Blue Screens of Death. What else?
Dude. You should have bought a Mac.
