“They were going to shoot the victim with the vest on. And he was shot in the chest, just above the vest.”

Just a guess, but I'll bet the vest's warranty doesn't cover this.

Oddly there is no mention of alcohol.

But then again who would be drinking at 3:00am on a Wednesday?</sarc>

Awfully smug looking for someone who just shot and killed a “friend”. She’s got “dead eyes, a dolls eyes”.

One winner and a runner up. I can’t decide which one is the stupidest.

I think the guy wearing the vest is stupider, but you’re right it’s a hard call.

Looks to me like she has the “I’m just starting to realize how much crap I’m in” look.

Pretty stupid thing to do. One paid with his life, and so will she in jail.

A decent lawyer should be able to get her off. He will argue she could have reasonably expected the vest to stop the bullet so she wasn’t putting his life at risk.

Oh ya, I guess there is that defense, either way she has to live with this for the rest of her life.

WAIT! It was the guns fault! This is why we need stricter gun laws. Peasants are too stupid to have guns. Guns kill people and force citizens to do stupid, evil and dangerous things. Not even the vest could save the kid from the evil influence of the gun.

(this is sad and tragic and my prayers go out to the idiots)
