College kid throws large mirror out of 12th-floor dorm window
A young man was hit in the back of his head when a 19-year-old University of Colorado freshman (at left) allegedly tossed the mirror out his window. "What was [Johnson] thinking, or what was he not thinking?" says the victim's dad. "What's up with people who do things like that?" (Denver Post | Rocky Mountain News)

my goodness, it's hard to decide if this kid or the gun-in-the-oven guy should be today's nominee for a Legendary A$$kicking...both gentleman are oh so deserving...

Either way, it would be an everloving shame to the human species if either were allowed to reproduce.

What was he thinking? "Hey, this is really cool!"

I wonder if drugs where involved? I don't know many people that just sit around and get the bright idea to drop a mirror out of a 12 story window.

Damn it. Canada got the McRib back. Damn you Canada.

:-) TAG FUNNY!--that's about the McRib comment--my husband loves McRibs!
TAG's other comment reminds me of when my friends got the bright idea to try acid. One girl thought she was stuck in a mirror and kept beating on the mirror "trying to get out."

Twerp I live in Maine and I get the CBC which is Canadian Broadcasting Corporation but anyways, I like to watch the Simpson at 5 and I got all excited that the McRib was coming back till I realized it was in Canada only. Damn Canada and their stupid McRib.
I wonder if this guy was stuck in a mirror as well. As I said, normal people just don't do stuff like this.

I'd put money on alcohol being the cause of this dumb stunt.

I don't care how stupid he is. He's freaking gorgeous. I want him. I want him in the worst way.

That is gorgeous? Standards have really taken a tumble since my college days.

Wow. So I guess I'd still have some kind of chance if that meth-eyes-looking piece has one...

It wasn't that many years ago when I DJed a frat party at CU-Boulder and was double-parked into the frat house parking lot until well after 4 in the morning. (On a Wednesday, no less... I had to work at 8am the following morning.) Turns out the brain surgeon who owned the car had been (unsuccessfully) been trying to pick a fight in the living room for the past two hours and had ignored everyone who had been asking, "Dude... anybody know whose black Eagle Talon is in the driveway?"
CU-Boulder students also threw flaming couches into the streets after the Broncos won the Super Bowl.
Somebody threw a 12-foot mirror out of a CU-Boulder dorm? Doesn't surprise me a bit.

I'm guessing he took one look at himself...

"3 foot long dressing mirror" " 3/4 to 1 inch thick"
Where do they buy their mirrors?

Pfft.....white people.....

Breaking that mirror was really unlucky for the guy who got hit when it shattered into pieces on the ground.

Anybody see the movie Constantine? That's how they did an exorcism. Trapping the demon in a mirror then dropping it to the ground.
Posted by: Ted | Mar 25, 2008 7:44:13 AM
Ted, I own that movie! I'm suprised I didn't think of that. When I heard this story, the movie that popped into my mind was "A Beautiful Mind" where that guy threw his desk out the window.
Posted by: twerp | Mar 25, 2008 7:48:01 AM
Demons can be trapped in mirrors. Keanu Reeves said so in the movie "Constantine" and I believe him.
Posted by: BallstotheWall | Mar 25, 2008 7:53:33 AM
Yes, it was Russell Crowe (one of my favorites) playing John Nash in A Beautiful Mind. That's what it reminded me of also. Especially since both happened on a college campus.

PROBABLY DIDN`T GIVE IT A SECOND THOUGHT OTHER THAN LOOK OUT BELOW.
Posted by: ULTRA | Mar 25, 2008 11:53:30 AM
I forgot to add that I own "A Beautiful Mind" too. It's one of my favorites too. It's a REAL love story. I cry every time I see it.
