In my younger days I had the misfortune of working at a detail shop where a car was brought in that a guy decided to drive into the woods, and stick a shotgun under his chin. The car was found about a week later and brought to us by the insurance co. to try and clean out. Even with fresh air suits, you could smell it, and the smell permeated a 6000 square foot building to the point where we had to shut down for two days, after one of the idiots there left the car inside overnight. I agree with CC, the smell is something you will never forget.
After stripping the interior literally to the metal, and even clearcoating every surface, the car still ended up going to the shredder.
I really hope you got paid something extra for that.

Just in case this offends you my appologies but I couldn't resist...
So were you Jules or Vincent? Or were you the Wolf?

I was the manager at the time, but the first 2 detailers that were asked to do it with a hefty bonus, got about 10 minutes in and couldn't do it. We ended up renting a couple fresh air suits, and me and the shop foreman just dug in, and started stripping out the interior of the car, after the shop was closed one night.
And to answer Cecil's question, when we got the car, most of the brain and stuff had been removed by the paramedics or coroner, whoever it was that extracted the body. There were a few bits of skull that popped up, in a few nooks and crannies, plus the headliner was pretty messed up. The pellet dented the roof outward as well, kinda like reverse hail damage. However the seats were still soaked with blood, and that was our job to try and remove it, and the stench, as we had a special machine that was supposed to eliminate any odor. I ended up calling the insurance company after a few days, and told them, that we are 4 days and $1500 into this job, and unless you intend to replace every single piece of plastic, upholstery and wiring in that car, you might as well come pick it up and send it to the shredder.
I think the only reason they wanted to try and restore it was because it was a 2 year old Camry, and it was still worth a good amount of money. However, even if it was fixed, who would want to buy the car, knowing what took place, besides some Russian curber or something? This was long before the Carfax days as well, so it likely would have been sold to some clueless family or something.
Ok I literally need to throw up. My night has just been ruined watching that. DO NOT watch that Dwyer video.
If you thought that one was bad, then please don't watch the one pylon was talking about (3 guys, 1 hammer). I'd say the Dwyer video was about 1-2% bad in comparison to the Ukraine murders. I had a link in my email awhile back and clicked on it and regretted it after watching a minute or so. Of course at the time, I didn't know what I was going to see once I clicked it. Then I did research on it. I wish I did research first. That video can really give people problems in the future and mess up your mind.

On the topic of Budd Dwyer, I just read that the song Hey Man, Nice Shot by Filter was written in honour of the Dwyer suicide. The band made this statement:
Quote:
The song 'Hey Man Nice Shot' is a reaction to a well-documented public suicide. It is not a celebration or glorification of taking one's own life. The phrase 'hey man, nice shot' is a reference to the final act itself, an expression of guts and determination of a person standing up for what they believe is right. We are extremely sensitive and respectful to the family and friends of Mr. Dwyer. We have both lost friends to suicide and felt nothing but sympathy and loss for the victims, and those involved in such a tragedy.
I am seriously feeling nauseous/having trouble sleeping after being reminded of that Ukraine murder video. Ugh.
I didn't and would never even consider watching the Ukraine video and just thinking about it after reading a description of it on wiki is bothering me.

Yeah like I said, I got it in a email about 6 months back with no description. I didn't know what it was about until I clicked on it. Then I did research after. I wish it was flipped because I wouldn't have watched it then. Things like 2 girls 1 cup, 2 guys 1 horse, 1 guy 1 jar are gross, but they are nothing like 3 guys 1 hammer as someone is getting murdered. I don't get how the heck people make reaction videos on youtube about it. It's like it's a joke to some people.
That chairman of the board fellow has some real cajones to sit there, take the blame, and then try to get his colleagues out of there ahead of him.
I thought he was the real 'hero' of the situation, not the security officer that ended up taking the shot at the guy. He was so calm, selfless, and reasonable.
I still can't figure out how the chairman fellow didn't get shot, he even reacted like he took one in the gut.
I can only hope that if, for some unfortunate reason, I am ever in a situation like that I just have half the size of balls and calm that guy did.

There's a real misnomer about pistols because of Western movies that you can hit a guy a mile a way with a pistol.
In a stressful position with a shorter pistol like that your effective range drops to feet instead of yards.
It also looks like he was aiming high. He either didn't want to hurt them, or he was trying for a head shot which is tough to do for an inexperienced or stressed shooter.
His stance was all wrong as well, that one handed pistol thing doesn't work real well because your hand eats the recoil. If your going to shoot with a pistol, you want a two handed weaver stance I think its called, it allows you to control the recoil much better.
As far as the chairman, it was clear that he wasn't trained in hostage negotiations. But who is?
Entirely correct about the pistol stance. The second hand helps control the muzzle flip, and more importantly, having the bent forward arm gives you better muscle control to stay on target; it's almost impossible to hit anything holding a pistol with one hand, they're quite heavy and it's hard to stop the small motions of that leverage on the end of an extended arm. In this guy's case, by sound and recoil, I'd say that it's a small-calibre pistol, no bigger than a 9mm, there wasn't any noticeable recoil at all. He does this weird thing after the first shot where he lifts the pistol over his head, but that isn't recoil, it's just indicative of his shooting ability coming from watching TV and movies rather than actually firing handguns.

Yeah he really does. That was a pretty brave move.
If it was me I would have said something like this
"O please don't kill me the #######s to my left and right are the ones who wanted your wife fired...they signed the papers if it was my decision I would have actually promoted her because she was so frickin awesome at her job"
