Does This Look Like The Face Of A Guy Who Waved His Gun Around As A Distraction During Beer Pong And Accidentally Shot Two People?

COURTHOUSE — A suburban man spent his birthday in police custody after he tried to distract his beer-pong opponent with a gun Saturday and accidentally shot two people, authorities said. Manus Shannon, 27, was playing beer pong at a Fourth of July party in Roseland about 9:20 p.m. Saturday when he pulled out a 9mm semiautomatic gun, according to police and prosecutors. Shannon began waving the gun in his opponent’s face to distract the 24-year-old South Chicago man during his turn, Assistant State’s Attorney Erin Antonietti said during a bond hearing Monday. The opponent pushed Shannon away, and as he did, the gun went off — striking the opponent in his finger and a 20-year-old Roseland man in his shoulder, prosecutors said. According to Antonietti, the 20-year-old was sitting nearby texting at the time and not involved with the game.

Legal.  I’m saying that’s legal.  Maybe it’s not legal in the United States of America but it’s legal in beer pong and beer pong law overrules American law.  Beer pong distraction is an art form.  It’s something that can’t be perfected but that doesn’t mean people shouldn’t try.  All of it is allowed.  Whether it be a chick pulling her tits out, mooning the other players, simply waving your arms around like a crazy person fresh out of the insane asylum, and yes, even shooting the other person with a real life gun.  It’s all legal.  All of it.  As long as the person doesn’t hit the ball during a shot then fair game.  play on.  You don’t like it?  Be better at beer pong.  Simple as that.  Have ice water pumping through your veins and it won’t be a problem.  So what, the dude shot you with a gun while you were trying to sink that last cup?  Big deal.  That sounds like a guy who wants to win at all costs including potential jail time  On the flip side, finish a beer pong game with a bullet in your shoulder and your legend grows bigger than MJ’s did with the flu game.  No guts (or in this case, no bullet holes) no glory.
