Sounds like his bride really dodged a bullet there.

A groomsman isn't the groom.
Bride is either brave or stupid. Probably leaning towards the later.
Groomsman where I live is part of the groom's group. Similar to a bridesmaid.
Uh yes, I am not sure what you mean. I am taking about the bride. She confronted a gunman fleeing a scene, not a wise decision.
Ah my misunderstanding!
Exactly. Groomsman != groom.
Wedding receptions can go a little awry if you’re not careful. Down the years they’ve been known to be derailed by drunk bridesmaids, dodgy DJs, shocking speeches and poorly thought-out seating plans. This Wisconsin ceremony, however, takes the (wedding) cake.
Fuck I fucking love cheeky humor in my homicide news. Thank fuck we got writers respectfully smoothing the edges out of the daily gun violence. Gotta laugh, right? Hahahah. Ha. Ha.
We’ll stop laughing when americans take it seriously.
No one died.
Oh yes the non-lethality makes it hilarious.
You called it "homicide news" before editing your comment. It is not homicide news.
It's attempted homicide news, and it was edited to reflect that. What's your point?
Using your hands to eat meatballs isn’t generally considered a criminal offence ...
It should be.
don't know what we could possibly do to stop the gun violence. tots and pears.
If i see any elbows on the table...
That'll show the fuckers!
If he was eating meatballs from his own plate there isn't much reason to confront him, but it looks like from the article he was using his hands to eat from a serving tray.
I just wonder what goes through someone's head to shoot someone over being confronted for being gross. Im assuming the groomsman knew the people or at least some of the people in attendance.
Most weddings have open bars so that may provide a little insight here.
I have been every level of drunk possible, and I’ve never wanted to murder someone. Why would you even need a gun at a wedding?

Count yourself lucky. Some of us (including me) are belligerent drunks. It's one of many reasons I cut myself off at two drinks, on the rare occasions when I drink at all. Though in my case, it was more about getting in fights rather than shooting people. That's one benefit of not owning a gun.
They are Americans. They need guns for everything. Weddings, nightclubs, schools, etc. It's just part of their culture.
I don't share your love of mankind there. I would, ... nevermind.
It's not you or I at this wedding, but gangsters and yahoos. I have never brought a gun to a wedding either, because I'm not an asshole. But many people if insulted, especially if drunk, will go into the trunks of their car for their heater and use it.
It's stupid, but that is where we are at, for like 4 decades minimum. We are a fucking dumb society.
A question is whether it is by design or not, it is. By design, to justify a police state.
