The iPad Madman: Murder Attempt and Amputation Alleged
18 replies, posted
The man charged with taking off a Colorado shopper's finger while stealing his iPad is in trouble again: He's charged with trying to have his victim killed. Apple lovers are a passionate bunch, just usually in a more productive sense.
Brandon Darnell Smith, 21, allegedly sent a letter from jail ordering the hit, according to the Denver Post. Intercepted by Denver cops, it read, "YOU GET THIS DONE! AND I GO ON ANYTHING I'll rob a bank if you want me too... If you do this, case is dropped." The man he allegedly wanted dead, Bill Jordan, had his finger stripped to the bone in a tug of war with Smith and another robber trying to take Jordan's Apple shopping bag, according to the charges against Smith. His finger was later amputated. As that old Apple ad had it: Here's to the crazy ones.
The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo.
In fairness, usually Apple customers do obey the actual legal codes involving physical attacks on other humans. But their ranks are growing all the time!

This is why Australia wants to censor Smart Phones.
Hurray! Insane people!
What a douche bag. The guy was just buying an iPad, so he goes and tries to rob it from him. Then, when it goes south and he ends up in jail, he tries to get the guy killed.
What a douche.
Mean while at the asylum, one more straight jacket is being made.
I bet this guy will have to be put in a [b]pad[/b]ded cell.

Holy shit that sounds painful.
Looks like someone was insane in the membrane.
The guy should've let go. It's just an enlarged iphone. Christ, not worth a fucking finger.
And all this for an apple product. I'm losing my faith in humanity every day...oh look bicycle car.

The string was looped around his finger, he would have let go if he could.

Ipad? Smart? You're joking right?
To be honest, he needs an "iMad".

Getting in a tugging match =/= willing to let go.

Technically, it is a computer. Therefor it is a 'smart device'. Phone, no..
The users aren't smart either. Dumb hipsters who think they know technology because they got a mac. Not smart.
