Police: Man Sick Of Fighting His Computer Took It Into The Alley And Shot It

(Colorado Springs Police Department)

Listen, everyone has their issues with computers, and we all know they’re going to be our overlords in the future, but taking out your frustrations by firing a few shots into the offending technology won’t go over well with law enforcement.

According to Colorado Springs police (scroll down) , a 37-year-old man was cited for discharging a weapon within city limits after he took his computer into a back alley and shot it for being insubordinate.

“Investigation revealed a resident was fed up with fighting his computer for the last several months,” the report on the police blotter reads. “He took the computer into the back alley and fired 8 shots into the computer with a handgun, effectively disabling it.”

Police tell the Colorado Springs Gazette that the man didn’t realize he was breaking the law when exacting his revenge. A judge will now decide a penalty for the citation.
