Here is the 'weapons expert' the defense brought in inadvertently pointing a fucking gun at the judge.

The deputy grabbing the gun was fucking hilarious. Could they really not find a better expert for the defense??

When the ballif has to step in and physically do...well....just about anything to you you know you just fucked up your case. Cops in this country are pretty fucked of course but you basically never hear about a bailiff in open court going after someone for no reason.

He didn't even realize it. Which should show everybody how stupidly easy it is to fuck up with gun safety.

my favorite example is the DEA Agent that shot himself.

anyhow... i wanna know what idiot thought this guy needed a prop for his testimony in the first place? ("Whose the bigger idiot? the idiot, or the idiot that gave him a gun?")

I've never seen that DEA video, I know it wasn't intentional but he taught the kids a pretty solid lesson about the dangers of firearms there. Haha

I love how he was able to hold his composure.

Sure. I'd never trust the guy with a weapon after that... but, uh, can't fault his ability to maintain composure.

Honestly, yeah. Credit where credit is due. Dude took that like a champ.
