You can't fix stupid, but you can kill it......
It sad to think this was done with a sober thought process.......
Charges filed after YouTube gun stunt gone wrong leaves boyfriend dead
By Fox 9 Published June 28, 2017
In what family members describe as a YouTube stunt gone wrong, a 22-year-old man from Halstad, Minnesota is dead and his pregnant girlfriend is in jail.
Around 6:30 p.m. Monday night, Norman County sheriff’s deputies responded to the 500 block of U.S. Highway 75 on a report of a shooting. Live-saving efforts were made and a medical helicopter was called, but 22-year-old Pedro Ruiz was pronounced dead at the scene.
Ruiz’s girlfriend, 19-year-old Monalisa Perez, was booked into jail for reckless discharge of a firearm.
Ruiz’s aunt told Valley News Live that the couple had been trying to get famous on YouTube, and their pranks were escalating.
"He had told me about an idea. I said, don't do it, don't do it,” Claudia Ruiz told Valley News Live. “Why are you going to use a gun? Why?”
Pedro Ruiz apparently gave Perez a 50 caliber handgun and instructed her to shoot a round into a book he was holding, thinking it would stop the bullet. The couple had apparently tested the stunt before attempting it on video.

I guess the book's plot wasn't really deep enough. 
I'm kinda glad we live in such a hyper obsessive social media world, more idiots will continue following suit cleaning the gene pool.

In this instance you don't need to kill stupidity - it does the job for you. Much easier this way.

You know what they say (and in this case you tell your children as they grow up without a daddy or a mommy)
"If there are pictures or video, it really happened! Mommy shot daddy in the chest for fun!"
Stupid is what stupid does!

I am surprised at the idiocy of these supposedly funny scare tactics used like a monster coming out from behind a building and chasing people who are scared to death . I am curious as to why nobody ever got shot by a CCW carrier slapping leather in a panic mode. I am thinking that will happen sometime.
As to Super Pedro, he should have gotten a bigger book. Just guessing but their practice session was maybe in the center of the book but the fatal shot in all likelihood was nearer the edge of the book when the misses missed the center.
