Well, this is awful.
We know how emotional people can be about the things that they love (if you watched tonight’s live show, Shawn and The Amazing Spider-Man would be a great example of that). The Walking Dead is one of the hottest things on Earth right now, and based on that and the subject matter it’s no surprise that arguments tend to arise over the franchise and its content.
Unfortunately, today a silly argument turned into something much, much worse. Deadline reports that a Long Island man has been charged with attempted murder after shooting his girlfriend after an argument… about the AMC series.
Jared Gurman adamantly believes that the series is believable and actually quite possible. His girlfriend did not. So after an hours long argument both in person and via text message, he shot her. What. The. FUCK.
She suffered a pierced lung, a shattered rib and a pierced diaphragm. She’ll survive, but I’m betting that after this, their relationship will not. He sounds like an awful human being anyways.
Geeks, this is awful. No matter how much you may disagree with someone, whether about The Amazing Spider-Man, The Walking Dead, or ANYTHING. It’s an OPINION, and it doesn’t matter in the long run. It just doesn’t matter.
Stay safe geeks.
