Woman Shot After Jokingly Telling Man She Gave Him AIDS

I can’t say I blame the guy. You can’t walk into a movie theater and yell fire. So why not shoot if you feel you have been given aids…… and on purpose? Is this a free speech matter? UGH!

I don’t feel a bit sorry for the woman.  You don’t joke about giving someone an incurable, lethal disease.  It’s just not funny.  The only reason I’m glad she’s not dead is because that would have resulted in a more serious charge for the man who shot her.  She should stick to fart jokes.  They’re much funnier and rarely end in being shot.

“Wilkins said he pointed the gun at the woman, but the gun “just went off.”” Perhaps having your finger on the trigger made the ‘gun go boom’…..idiot.

If it’s not funny, why did I laugh?.. A lot.

I think it could have been because of the “Oh snap! You got the dain bramage!” comment.

Seriously, though, I’m betting that, for this bitch, that joke is now shelved.

Yeah but for me now the game is on. I’m going to pull this on my boyfriend, and watch him freak out since I’m the one that was persistant with his being tested, and he seemed so trusting of me.

-Merry christmas bayyybayyy.

I’m sorry but pointing a gun at someone means you want to kill them, especially if you don’t have the gun in hand & walk over to where it is, whip it out & THEN shoot.

Oh & he could’ve ran to get some treatment before the virus spread if she were to be right, I would’ve sued her ass BIG TIME for that stupid little joke.

Well I happen to have a bizzare and impulsive sense of humor, even in my daily conversations. And sometimes I can’t believe the stuff that comes out of my mouth all for a laugh, which I usually get. NOT that this particular joke would be something I said after swapping spit with a individual I don’t know to the core. I wonder if she told this joke nervously as a “fill in” of the silence after the kiss lingering between bases 2 and 3…..WHY this joke would come to mind, who knows.
I also pictured her seconds after being shot stumbling to find the words “I’m joking”…Well here is your punch line chicky!

I too have opened my mouth and inserted my foot due to many ill timed and crass jokes. I’m glad I was never shot for it. Sometimes I probably deserved it.

OK, the moral of the story is:  NEVER tell someone you just gave them AIDS.  Granted, she didn’t deserve to be shot in the head, but considering how serious AIDS is, I can see how a person would be taking his or her life in their own hands by kidding someone about it.

I’m sure they both agree now that it was a dumb joke.  Not that it’s going to fix anything, but at least they’d agree on one issue.

Jaded can bring out the worst in us with her voodoo witchcraft writing skills. Blame her.

I only have my parents to blame :’(

I disagree.  I had one drunk girl all over me one night, I just wasn’t into her.  At ALL.  It was more annoying than anything to me, and I just kept brushing her off.  She kept trying to kiss me, kept groping me, kept trying to get me to fuck her.  

A couple days later, she tells me she has vaj herpes, and didn’t “see” what the big problem was “if you use a condom” Some people don’t fuckin care.  Hers WAS NOT a joke.  It was just casual to her, because she had it since she was 17-18, and she was 26 then.  It took a lot to not slap the taste out of her mouth.

I’m clean, and very selective.  I’m paranoid about all that shit.  I don’t even share drinks or cigarettes with people.  

What? You can DO that?! I’ll keep that in mind.

Well, it’s not quite the same.  Presumably, the individual waiving a gun is still an immediate threat to individuals who haven’t already been victimized by him, so to shoot him is to neutralize an imminent threat.  Self defense.

But because this guy had already been “exposed”, his actions were not self defense, but retaliatory in nature.  That’s vigilantism, and that’s why this guy got charged.  That said, I’d hope the jury and judge takes the circumstances into consideration before sentencing. 

I was/am seeing it as more of a self defense in 3rd person. 

There was a Law & Order episode about some dude that had HIV and was going out of his way to sleep with as many women as possible to spread it, to spite the woman that gave it to him.

I’d see it as Self Defense (frame of mind at the time) in 3rd person because chances are, she’s going out and doing it consistently and is going to do it again.

I hate to say this…but instead of shooting her maybe he should have…you know…smacked her around a little…I’m sure she would have fessed up after he starts hitting her. She would have less injuries, he would have less jail time yadda yadda

(I don’t condone it but this is one of those rare instances where man on woman violence is understandable to me. A female hurting or endangering the male’s child is another)

So, sounds like she just didn’t give a shit until someone called her out.  Weak.  I wonder if she went right back to her old ways, because this soul searching sounds like a lot of backtracking and bullshit.

I hope those guys who thought she was “worth it” were actual relationships and not casual fucks.  Because I shudder to think that there are guys desperate enough to willingly expose themselves to a life-long affliction for a quick screw.  

…and good for you for being “the way you were”.  However that may have been.  Nasty bitches need to be checked.

I wonder if they actually thought she was worth it, or if she just assumed they did. If she didn’t tell Reapre beforehand, I find it hard to believe she told two other guys.

“The fact that the chick was joking makes it impossible to pull off in this case.”
Athena, that was my point.  If she were dead serious, and actually did have AIDS, and he felt there was imminent danger towards another person, would he have been justified? (The security guard perceives, acts on, and kills a guy jokingly “robbing a bank” that supposedly just murdered someone, but hadn’t).

Adding into the court-room drama that it “was a poorly judgemented joke” is with hindsight.  He didn’t have that hindsight during the “incident” that occurred, what I take from the article is he had NO CLUE she was joking until AFTER he was arrested.  So that makes his trial unjust and unfair, imo.  Don’t allow the jury to know she doesn’t have AIDS and don’t inform them it was a joke.  He didn’t know, why should the jury?

My mother once saw some of the comments I had made here, and looked around the site a little. Based on the comments she did see (I was a bit raunchier at the time she saw them), she told me that I need to go to therapy and that what I am doing is abnormal and unhealthy. She was talking about how I need to find God to suppress my deviant behavior or some such shit. I wasn’t really paying attention because I was rolling my eyes so hard that the sounds of them squishing in my eye sockets was too loud for me to hear what she was saying over the phone. I’m sure it was an awesome one-way conversation though.

In your example, the man in the bank actually had a gun.  That’s why I think it’s a bad comparison.  An unhostered gun is always an imminent threat (accidents happen even when individuals aren’t being threatening).  

And, no, he wouldn’t have been legally justified even if she hadn’t been joking.  Legally speaking, “imminent” is quite literally taken.  The threat needs to be immediate, or something that could happen at any moment.  And, in many (probably most) states, you can only use a firearm in such defense if you have no reasonable alternatives.  So, even if there was another dude in the house that the chick was about to infect, the guy with the gun could have reasonably intervened by simply telling the new guy that the chick had AIDS.
People do not have the legal right to try to kill someone who did something fucked up to them based on the assumption that said person will probably do the same fucked up thing to someone else down the road.  

Damn straight. Marry a housewife and then turn her into a ho.

No sympathy here either, you said everything reapre . Only thing he should have done is wait to find out if he really had aids until he went shooting.

He should have shot her in the aids dispensing box instead of the head. I have no sympathy for her.

I am proud to know you! I like self made people who pulled themselves up by their tampon strings.

Around my house fart jokes can be dangerous. Unless of course she makes them!

He could have at least put a condom over the barrel of the gun to prevent lead poisoning.

Hooking up together, what if they have children?

Better yet make them take care of you and pick up the tab. Always give them a big kiss before you go to sleep.

That’s what porn sites are for to prevent sexually transmitted diseases. The only thing that suffers is the keyboard.

Then at least we know the kids won’t have AIDS. 

I think this is all a scam for disability checks..Just she took it to another level.

I tell my husband regularly that his jokes suck.  I guess I need to cut him some slack. 

Thats just downright selfish and evil to try to make someone have sex with you, force it on you when you say no and she knew fulll well she has herpes Herpes, what pussy is good enough to contract a lifelong disease which they will suffer painfully for as well as ruining their sex life. What a bitch.

Well, interesting post,
thanks!
