iPod is your weapon.


The Dangers of Ipod
http://www.liquidgeneration.com/rumo...d_killing.html

MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE (HLN) - A Memphis woman was arrested and charged with first-degree murder after she bludgeoned her boyfriend to death with an iPod.
Arleen Mathers, 23, was arrested Thursday morning after she called Memphis Police and said she had killed her boyfriend, according to a Sheriff�s Department report.

When deputies arrived at Mathers� apartment at 528 Poplar Avenue, Mathers led them to the body of her boyfriend, Brad Pulaski, 27.

Brad Pulaski had died of blunt trauma to the head after being repeatedly bludgeoned with an iPod, a popular MP3 player produced by Apple.

Police said no motive has been confirmed, although evidence suggested the murder was the result of a domestic dispute after Pulaski erased the contents of Mathers� iPod.

According to law officers, Mathers was hysterical when police arrived and told them that she killed her boyfriend only after he accused her of illegally downloading music and erased about 2,000 of her MP3s. Mathers complained that it took 3 months to build her music collection.

An autopsy performed Friday afternoon at Methodist Hospital showed that Brad Pulaski had been beat multiple times in the face and chest by a blunt metal object, and died of internal bleeding, said Dr. Felix Klamut, deputy coroner.

According to Apple�s website, the iPod is partially made of a hard metal plate that�s been praised for it�s resistance to regular wear and tear, like drops and coffee spills.

�It took him a while to die,� Dr. Klamut said. �She must have stabbed him 40 to 80 times with that iPod. His death was not instantaneous, that�s for sure�

Arleen Mathers was arraigned Friday night by a video hookup from the county jail. Municipal Court Judge Simon Lambert set her bond at $600,000 and scheduled a preliminary hearing for March 9.

What, did the boyfriend not have any arms? Was he passed out? Was the gf seriously buffed or bulbous? I mean, hit 40 - 80 times with an iPod? Didn't the guy at least try to defend himself?

Did they live in a trailer park?

At this point, I'm left wondering how the iPod faired.

I can see the Apple ads now: "Murder Different"

LOL

Still, that is crazy. Those things are tiny, too. I figured it would collapse before she smashed his skull in.

EDIT: How long until we can have an iPod instead of a MAG Cutter? It'd work pretty well for Infils.

By the rote mastery of this art, your firing efficiency will rise by no less than 120%. The difference of a 63% increase to lethal proficiency makes the master of the gun katas an adversary not to be taken lightly.
