TRAGIC STUPIDITY RESULTS IN CRIMINAL CHARGES

By Bob Walsh


Steven Merkel

 

Steven Merkel, 52, of Lake Geneva, WI, is a dumb shit and is in a lot of trouble.  Still he is in less trouble than his eight-year old step-son, Michael Meagher, who is dead.

Allegedly Merkel decided to show his 9mm pistol to his step-son this past Monday to help make him look cool.  He (again allegedly) pulled the magazine, believing that would make the pistol inoperative.  He either didn't check the firing chamber or didn't care.  He certainly was not familiar with the operating characteristics of the weapon.  

Merkel walked from the bedroom, pointed the gun at the rugrat and pulled the trigger, thinking it would go CLICK.  It went BANG instead.  Merkel also admitted to having consumed one or more alcoholic drinks prior to the incident.  

Merkel is currently a guest of the county pending $250,000 bond.  His next court appearance will be this coming Monday.  He has been charged with reckless homicide.

Dumb fucks shouldn't own guns.
