While I may have complained here as of late about my recent dental adventure last Monday, and the subsequent pain, discomfort, and brief moments of joy, sponsored by Vicodin, this stupid SOB over in Connecticut wins for bad week hands down.
Darren Swanson, a 21 year-old Bridgeport resident, was shot in the face Friday by people he said were strangers. Being the apparently hardcore individual he is, Swanson drove himself to the hospital, which gains him Tarentino cred for functioning after a gunshot wound. Extra action points were then awarded when Swanson crashed into the ER doors at Bridgeport Hospital. Gunshots and car crashes? Man, Connecticut's a little rougher than I thought, I guess.
Nobody was hurt when the grand entrance occured, and Swanson was in fair condition as of Saturday afternoon, but here's the kicker. Swanson was charged with possession of marijuana when they found a bag of the substance in his wrecked car. Come on, Swanson. You're telling me you had the presence of mind to drive yourself to the ER after being shot in the face (we won't go into the presence of mind to use the brakes once you got there), but somehow you failed to ditch your stash? Like you didn't know the police were going to be involved, not only because it was a shooting, but because you smashed up the Bridgeport Hospital ER? Holy damn. Maybe next time you get shot in the face, you'll know better how to address the situation.
