That's not going very far...once he voluntarily had himself filmed by a 3d party, he left behind any expectation of having his identity or actions protected. And since I doubt the vid came from a concealed camera, I'd be shocked if this one ever made it past the gate.

I don't know what he's complaining about. Most stand-up comedians would kill to have that kind of viral marketing launch their careers.

Boston....outside of it....
"See how accidents happen????"

"Now, give me that other gun right there"



I'm sorry, but if some idiot shot himself, I wouldn't stay in the room when he's asking for more guns.

I don't know...the guy is educating kids, the gun he's holding discharges randomly, and his employer let's the footage of it out effectively ruining his career and cutting off his means of income. I'd be pissed too.

Bet those kids will never play with guns.

But why did the gun even have a sodding bullet in the chamber? If they randomly discharge on a regular basis the guy should be fired for endangering the kids.

He was in public when it happened, it was hardly classified to start with...

Well yeah, that's another question though.

It wasn't classified, but it wouldn't have gone much further than the friends and family of people in the room...rather than millions online.

To be totally honest, I always thought this was a fake video. I assumed that the gunshot was a blank used to really "drive the point home." I never believed it for a second...guess I was wrong.

All in all, the situation could have been a lot worse...
