WICHITA, Kan. ( AP) — A botched kidnapping ended with one of the assailants shooting himself in the groin, Wichita police said. The man had just stuck the gun back into his waistband when it fired, shooting him in the left testicle.

He cringed, causing the gun to fire again and strike him in the left calf.

Ummmm, ow. That will ruin his Christmas. Not to mention his New Year’s Eve, his Easter, his St. Patrick’s Day and his Kwanzaa.

Police caught up to the man after he managed to walk himself to the hospital. Apparently his high school gym coach’s advice of “walking it off” didn’t work as well as he hoped.

But wait, it gets dumber. He and two other accomplices were attempting to kidnap a teen in a dispute over a stereo. He said he planned to kidnap the teen and wait for the stereo to deliver the ransom.

    Anyone who thinks humans are the pinnacle of evolution should take a look at this.

    Thank you so much for these insane stories… geez, shooting himself in the testicle! That’ll leave a mark…

    Pity it wasn’t both testicles, he’d have been a perfect entry for a Darwin Award.

    Did he lose the testicle?! Are you kidding me?! Even the most well endowed man could not shoot himself in the left teticle and still ahev that left testicle. Oy.

    Oh wow- someone’s actually dumb enough to re-enact a scene from “Lonestar: State Of Mind”?! Well, unintentionally, I guess, but still…

    “Pity it wasn’t both testicles, he’d have been a perfect entry for a Darwin Award.”
    You have to die to get a Darwin Award, I think. But I read about a guy who, as a dare, put both testicles inside one of the golfball cleaners at a golf course. Didn’t end well.

    Funny! Newspaper headline read “Back Off Or The Right One Gets It Too!” Hee-Hee!

    Amusingly this “man” if you can call him that is my brother. The gun actually fell down his pants but rather than pull the leg of his pants up to get it he reached down into his pants to pull it up, shooting himself in the calf, then instead of dropping the gun he continued to pull it up through the waist of his pants shooting himself in the groin (grazing his shaft and straight down through the testicle) He ended up having his right testicle removed, but the doctors are sure if it shattered from an infection or because he shot it. Unfortunately he didn’t get them both and can still create children, although he doesn’t take care of them.

    You only have to make it so you can’t continue to procreate to get a darwin award.

    i am disuturded that everyone finds the fact that the man lost a testicle to be the most disturbing fact and not the part where he did all of this in hopes that the “stereo” will bring the ransom. Or the fact that there are two even dumber ppl who accompanied him…
