I know it’s as frustrating as a Rubic’s cube when your computer doesn’t work and you have no idea how to fix it so you call a repairman and he doesn’t either.

But, damn, y’all.

Okay, so this guy is named Joe Condello, who is the former Legislative Director for Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison.  He called a tech to his house to fix his computer.  The tech said the computer needed a new part and he’d go fetch it at the store.  That’s when all hell broke loose.

Mondello told the tech ”you’re not leaving this house until the computer is fixed” — a feat that would be difficult to accomplish without the needed parts.  That’s when [he] decided a Second Amendment Solution was in order. He left the room and returned with a what appeared to be a gun, telling the tech:

”I’m going to kill you slowly.”

All the yelling brought his wife to the room, who stood between her husband and the tech so the tech could escape.

Now, I have great sympathy for people who get frustrated because the damn cowboy-forsaken computer machine won’t work.  However, I have found that threatening to kill the tech rarely increases their efficiency.

Come to find out, it was a toy gun.  The intention, however, was real as rain.

Now in case you’re wondering who calls a tech to their house instead of taking it in to the repair shop, I have an answer for that  — people who do not want other people to know what’s on their computer no matter what.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
