Man TOO DRUNK to remember being shot...

This sounds like something out of a rock band's touring days.

Man says he was so intoxicated he doesn't remember being shot.

I had no words when I first read the story. I was just trying to fathom the level of drunk you'd have to be to forget being SHOT!

He is probably scared of what will happen to him if he does talk to the police. Like you I doubt he could be so drunk he forgot how he got shot.

Says a lot that someone would be so scared of the police that even after being shot he would avoid saying something.

Are you really that anti leo? I was not saying he was scared of the police but rather the people who shot him. Perhaps it was a warning that he was shot in the leg. Your bias is really showing.

Back in the day, the saying was "you ain't really drunk 'til ya shit your pants."

This guy seems to have raised the bar.

Or perhaps the guy was so scared of admitting he's done something wrong, that he would not fess up to it.

I didn't take Eurodriver's comment as anti-LEO at all. If you are Joe Dimebag and you get shot by Mike Methhead, you are likely to be scared of any interaction with authorities.

I used to treat a LOT of people that got hit by a bullet that "just came out of the sky" or "hit in a drive-by". They were, of course, turning their life around.

Damn dangerous thing to do, turning your life around. Right up there with minding your own business.

I woke up in a different state once, but the undies were still pristine.

Thank goodness for PSA's frequent flights, though. Got me back with just moments to spare.

You know you are really drunk when you walk up to a urinal, hold your left thumb in your right hand and pee in your pants.

Can I claim "subject matter expert" on this one??? (I worked as a bartender/bouncer for 5.5 years, and just recently quit):

I have seen the following injuries when people did not realize it had happened (LEO in my town can verify several):

Broken Clavicle from a kick (stomp).

Compound fracture of Tibia, shattered knee cap, torn ligaments (guy knew something "hurt", did not remember why)

Multiple head wounds where the person walked away like nothing happened, or went to jail asking why they were bleeding.

A woman start a fight, hit a man three times her size multiple times in the head, get chocked out by said man and not remember any of it. (saw the video of this, I was not present at the time for this one).

Also from an LEO in our community: A man in Kingston NY was drunk and drew on an officer in an alley. The officer promptly drew and shot hitting the man in the center of the forehead. The bullet traveled up and over the skull splitting his scalp. It didn't kill him. When he came to he asked "which mutha ****a kicked me in the head?" This one I didn't see first hand, it was from a local deputy who is a friend of mine, member of the SWAT in our county, and two tour Iraq vet. Take it or leave it, I believe him.

Alcohol is a powerful drug, I am only mentioning a fraction of the incidents I have seen that were violent. This doesn't even touch on the non-violent ones. There's not a doubt in my mind someone could get shot and not remember it, especially if they mixed that alcohol with any other drug including several prescription medications most people don't realize or ignore that they can't drink while taking.
