This story is from Georgia and he did say, “Hold my beer and watch this,” before he loaded his lawn mower with tannerite and then shot the damn thing, so nobody can say they weren’t warned.
This country has the authority to take unsafe toys for children off the shelves. The same should hold true for any man in Georgia.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
Stupidity this intense presenting in an ER should also include a mandatory free neutering/castration procedure (with a lifetime chemical prescription too, jic).
Just to possibly avoid any future ”accidents” by this cretin (NO, it was not an accident, it was an intentional commission/exhibition of congenital stupidity).
Unfortunately this loon will still be in the gene pool (the very shallowest end to be sure).
1And today Wayne Lapierre said gun owners are smarter than the rest of us.
2Here is the rest of the story from AJC- Though League called the use of Tannerite dangerous for amateur use, he said serious injuries resulting from its use are relatively rare.
Deputies receive two to five calls a week related to the explosive.
“If you hear a loud boom and it shakes your home, your windows, and the china in your cabinets rattle around, then there is a good chance one of your neighbors is shooting Tannerite,” League said.

This bozo used 3 pounds,enough to take down the WTC, I think,
There is a website that claims you can make your own tannerite at home. They advise you not to do so,but list the two ingredients and have a button to push to buy them. Nice guys.
3There are cheaper ways to enjoy a “loud boom.” I suggest these goobers stand next to a large steel beam during the next electrical storm. Or, they could go join ISIL.
4I wonder how soon this bozo will do this again, severing his other leg or maybe something higher up on his body.
5I saw some guy who did the same with an old washing machine.
6It took him three shots to hit the washing machine from about 30 yards away. Of course, he was wearing a Tony Romo shirt and that might have affected his aim. 😀
They grow ’em stooped in Georgia too.
7Glad I came here before I sent JJ the link to this story.
8Well, the stupidity is quite evident with this story and … well, Georgia!!
9I’ll have to do a search on-line for Tannerite since I have no clue as to what it is … however, it is made quite obvious here that it is highly explosive … especially when used for target practice by idiots!!
Marcia in Colo-it is approx 95% ammonium nitrate (fertilizer) and 5% aluminum powder. I’m guessing it needs to be compressed to be effective. OKC bombers used ammonium nitrate and diesel fuel with a remote phone or something to set it off.

On the bright side,asparagus and onions love the stuff and need lots of it.
10“Wayne Lapierre said gun owners are smarter than the rest of us.”
I’ll concede that some of them may be– the ones we don’t hear about. The combination of guns and stupidity has a way of getting into the news. If we’re lucky, they kill or maim only themselves or each other.
11At least it was his own leg and not some innocent bystander’s.
12Walton County is where my cousin lives. He backs tRump. His wife [the liiitle laaady] is for the prairie-pie-rate. They also own the newspaper, a chicken ranch, feed & seed — and they teach at UGa — when they aren’t out ‘confessin’ ‘ about how jay-zeus may-udd the-umm weal-thy.
The folks there are envious of Stone Mountain. They tryin’ to be that hard headed.
13Sigh. Stupidity does not recognize state lines. There was a very isolated spot in Lower Michigan (as opposed to Upper Michigan) that was perfect for playing at mixing different compounds and then seeing how completely it could blow up the stump of a tree that had been around since God invented ice. Thus did Terry and Tim perfect their art(???). Tim is now dead via the death penalty and Terry is incarcerated until Gabriel blows his horn.
14maggie-that kind of people haven’t been reined in much since then. They are still pretty much free to do what they want. Wingnuts ain’t about to stop their base from blowing stuff up. Fortunately,we had a Janet Reno and not that moran dumbass dubya appointed as AG. Wait wasn’t he AG/AG? AG-Alberto Gondumbass or something like that?
15Tannerite in very small amounts used for example on exploding targets is quite safe, relatively speaking. We are talking about an explosive after all. But whereas I’m talking about quantities of well less than one ounce, it likely took several ounces to a pound to load up his lawn mower whatever that may mean.
Now fertilizer and fuel oil is a little different. As a kid we’d bury one pound coffee cans filled with fertilizer soaked in kerosene in the ground near the infamous passion pits outside my hometown. A 9v dry cell battery and 50+ feet of bell wire started the fireworks, with a breathtaking escape via bicycle on a convenient fire road. It took a yuuuuuge amount of fertilizer soaked fuel oil to concuss down half the Murrah building in Okie City.
Hell these Jawja guys should learn the mysteries of C4 and leave Tannerite and such to kids!
16It’s only a flesh wound and the Second Amendment says you gotta give me the gun back.
17Micr-AJC said he used 3 pounds on his mower. Wonder if the thrill of the explosion was worth the loss of a leg?
18@epo
3 pounds eh? So if he bought a case that would be 20 8 ounce containers. So being the old fashioned explosives romantic that he was, he used six 8 ounce containers on the evil lawn mower. Damn. Just DAMN.
No. A leg for a big boom wasn’t a good trade.
19It’s weekend recipe time!
Here you go folks – be sure to send this link to all the NRA members you know! (But for your family’s safety, not to anybody living within 200 yards of you!)

Oh … and I haven’t a clue how “Second Amendment Rights” extends to justifying this lunacy.
20My mistake. I didn’t watch the video of the Jeep Cherokee being blown up before posting. Better make that a good quarter-mile.
21Dang,I could’ve used that Cherokee for parts for my Cherokee. On the bright side, dismantling it will be a breeze.
22I have lived in the south all my life. I am not surprised by this at all. Guys like to blow up stuff and some of them do not have much sense or impulse control. I cannot believe no one has asked what that mower did to piss him off so badly. As a nurse I encountered many injuries which were so very preventable. It is common in the ER to send many employees in to ask “what happened?” just so the patient has to tell it over and over….unless of course the patient was not stable.
23Just musing again. Wondered about open carry at the GOP convention. Well, if tannerite were added the delegates would really get the bang they want.
24@ Sandridge- This loon, and those like him, demonstrate how it’s still possible to drown in the very shallowest end of the gene pool. Not to advocate for violence or anything, but real karma dictates that he become 9-toed the next time he fires up a lawn mower. Further demonstrating the dangers of the very shallowest end.
