Man Ends The Walking Dead Disagreement by Shooting His Girlfriend in the Back

By ( ) Comments

Look, not every single person running in your nerd circle — as close as your relationships may be — is going to see eye-to-eye with your beliefs or opinions, such is a little thing called life. Even if you’re prone to getting a little hot under the collar as the result of such petty disagreements, there’s nerd rage, and then there’s callously shooting your girlfriend in the back. 26-year-old The Walking Dead enthusiast Jared Gurman, after having argued with his girlfriend over the possibility of a zombie apocalypse, believed that a bullet to her back would help her see clarity. Obviously, what ultimately happened was far from what he intended.

What should have been an enjoyable evening spent watching the mid-season finale of The Walking Dead this past Sunday turned into a venomous argument the likes of which Internet message boards have never seen. Gurman, a staunch adherent to the plausibility of an impending zombie apocalypse, adamantly defended his reasoning against the rationality and logic of his dissenting girlfriend.

Leaving Gurman to his delusional rants, his girlfriend drove away, only to be accosted with a fusillade of texts from her bitter beau. But fearing for her boyfriend’s mental health — which, in spite of everything else, isn’t saying much about his character– she opted to drive back to Gurman’s apartment, only to be met by him wielding a .22 caliber rifle. No hugs, no attempts at reconciliation, just some hot lead through the middle of her back to make a tired point.

Around 3AM, Gurman drove his girlfriend to the Long Island Jewish Medical Center where she is reported to be in stable condition, with the gunman imprisoned without bail. While it’s likely that his girlfriend will not be attending any future viewings of The Walking Dead with Gurman, whether or not he’ll be able to get AMC in prison remains to be seen.

    The fact that he believed that a zombie apocalypse scenario was plausible was telling enough that he’s probably not sane.

    That upsets and infuriates me terribly. I feel sick from reading it. I detest abuse… and assholes with guns.

    So help me, I thought it was going to be because she changed the channel. And if it had, I bet more than a few folks would have said “Well, yeah, SURE…”

    Sometimes, Nerds can be the absolute worst kind of people you can ever have the misfortune of coming across… Why so much hate? Can’t well just learn to get a long?

    Pfft, a .22? He really was delusional.

    SURE I do believe a zombie apocolypse is possible, shooting someone in the back isn’t the answer. I mean, come on. you killed a girl over a TV series. That’s just plain crazy.

    A COLLECTION FOR FREUD’S COUCH

    Since Gurman is a socially sick personality, it is most likely that he had been abused as a child. It’s a possibility that childhood instability may have poisoned his early puberty, ( Maybe his dog was abused ), in thought to fall into the so-called Oedipus syndrome, ( hated work ), and loved loafing. This individual would have had a good legal practice as lawyer, ( shyster ), or maybe a sheriff’s deputy. Actually his ( walking dead ) theory had lain a self-induced masochism through a psycotransibility, ( hit into the head with a fire axe ), inducing a split personality, while re-entering a total pathological somatic fixation-subconscious transfusional chemical imbalance. More than likely, this non-paying tax payer was a discontented democrat and took his girl friend to be a republican-both at a dead end! Definitely, this rounded out Homo Sapiens should be on Medicaid, food stamps, hospital insurance, lawyer’s aid, housing and whatever can be thrown in. Lets put our hearts to gather and prove that pro-zombies are lounging on the Supreme Court Bench and the Dept.of State.
