A Colorado man who has been “fighting with his computer for the last several months” unloaded a volley of shots into his Dell tormentor, resulting in the death of the computer and his arrest for discharging a firearm, cops report.

When asked about the shooting, Hinch told TSG, “I just had it,” adding that he tired of the balky computer’s “blue screen of death.” Hinch said that he whacked the computer with a 9mm Hi-Point pistol recently purchased from a Craigslist seller. The gun was seized by police, who left the computer behind.

The late Dell XPS 410 model, seen in the above police evidence photo, is survived by a monitor and a keyboard.

Shooting’s too good for a Dell.

I have hundreds of computer parts. Only reason I haven’t done this is because I don’t have my own chunk o’ land.

A long time ago I punched an old Compaq computer that would have to sit and think for a long time for every little thing it would do. Actually I used to punch it all the time, but on the final time something finally came loose from inside the SOB and it died.

After that I stopped punching computers because I realized it really doesn’t help them work right.

The Dell Tormentor was apparently an aptly named computer!

Think about the children!! would they be tablets?

I would reserve that for HP PC’s, laptops, and above all printers. Not just HP printers but ALL printers. Printers are evil incarnate.

No jury will ever convict him. Hinch is a hero to millions.
