While watching the news yesterday, I was reminded again why I chose the title for this blog to be "I may be from Indiana, but I am NOT an Idiot..." You see, while I am sure every state has its weirdos, rednecks, and/or uneducated people, it just never seems to fail that these Hoosiers are the ones to make the news. From the two teeth, trailer trash who go hit by a tornado to the drunk man who got caught stuck in the chimney and whose former girlfriend proceeded to physically assault him on camera:
Scary, right? That video is from Evansville, which is in the southern part of the state, and I have always found solace in my contention that anything south of downtown Indianapolis might as well be a part of Kentucky. Unfortunately, the story I am about to detail happened north of Indy, in Kokomo, which is close to my hometown of Logansport.
Derrick Kosch entered a Village Pantry on Tuesday morning waving a semiautomatic pistol. He proceeded to demand all the money AND a pack of cigarettes. (why not a carton?) While the cashier met his demands, she heard the gun discharge. Apparently, Derrick, thinking he's a gangsta pimp, slid the gun into the waistband of his pants WITHOUT THE SAFETY ON, and he proceeded to shoot off his right testicle (OUCH). Obviously the height of brilliance, he limped off to lick his wounds (pun intended). When the cops found him, he said that somebody shot him, even though he didn't make an attempt to go to the hospital and his face was on surveillance tape.
This my friends IS an idiot. Too bad he didn't shoot both of them off to spare us any of his progeny.

It's right up there with the man who tried to mug a karate school in Colombia. Doh! Surprisingly, he was unsuccessful.
Oh dear god...
