I’m not sure I’ve heard a story in a while that captures so much about the gonzo, Obama-era far-right. Notorious Koran-burning freak Pastor Terry Jones is up in Dearborn today protesting the purported (i.e., non-existent) imposition of Sharia Law in the city. And he made a big to-do about bringing a pistol to the protest.

And now, alas, there’s been a fatality: the floorboard of Jones’ car.

Jones is apparently so handy with a firearm that he managed to accidentally discharge his weapon in his car.
