A police spokesperson was quoted as saying by the BBC that the groom “was quite intoxicated at the time”.

They seem to think that is a fair explanation.

You know what they say, guns and alcohol go together like peas and carrots. That is what they say, isn't it? Isn't it?

It's weird, I've been really drunk and I've murdered maybe two people. Tops.

[–] ericisshort@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Next time, try more alcohol or more guns.

Or put wodka in a supersoaker, a twofer.

I thought we weren’t supposed to talk about that.

It was your rule!

The Fall of the House of Usher reference?

[–] NoIWontPickaName@kbin.social -1 points 11 months ago

Nope, sorry.

No clue what that is

I don't think so...but they do say Asians can't process alcohol very well.

Just a thought, but it seems like the Big Black Cock might have played a role in this tragedy.
