More Florida being Florida .....

A Florida man was shot and killed by his own cousin after wondering aloud about the effectiveness of a bulletproof vest. Joaquin Mendez was fatally shot by Alexandro Garibaldi at a home in Tampa Saturday night, WFLA reported. Garibaldi, who first told police he heard a gunshot and found Mendez wounded outside, has now been charged with manslaughter with a weapon and felon in possession of a firearm.

According to Tampa police, a witness at the scene of the alleged shooting said Mendez, 23, was sitting in a chair when he put on the bulletproof vest in question. After "wondering out loud whether it still worked," Garibaldi allegedly whipped out a handgun, said "Let's see," and then shot directly at the vest. When police responded to reports of a shooting at the residence, they found a "projectile entrance hole" in the vest.

Sadly, this incident isn't the first of its kind. Back in May of last year, a 19-year-old man was shot and killed by his friend while wearing a bulletproof test. According to ABC 10 News, 21-year-old Elijah Lambert allegedly shot and killed Miguel Henry Martinez while "fooling around" with a gun and a bulletproof vest.

It's fracking Tampa. Probably a usf fan, you know Darwin and stuff.

Was he a friend of yours, 85?

How else are you going to know if your vest works? I always test mine when I get a new one.

 

[cnsaguy]

Illegals. Doesn't count towards FL statistics.

Darwin at it's finest.

Did they test the AR-15 to make sure it was the guilty weapon?

Would have been super crazy if the bullet hole was right between his eyes.
