anywwho...
yesterday was the third day.... well this guys just snaps.... walks away from the truck.. goes across the street to KMART... throws a chair through the window... walks to sporting goods.. loads a gun.. and shoots himself.

INSANE...

That's extremely bizarre. That guy REALLY needed a nap.

that is so sad. it's amazing how people handle stress and pressure and/or competition so differently.

btw, your tagline was so misleading - lol

A Japanese TV show went and did a piece on that competition last year. Sorry to hear about this tragedy. I thought US K-Mart decided to stop selling guns already.

Even if they had he would not have to walk long to find a fully equipped Walmart to do the deed.
