Monalisa Perez was charged with manslaughter after she accidentally shot Pedro Ruiz in the chest while making a YouTube video for the couple's vlog.

Perez told police that she shot from a foot away while Ruiz held the book to his chest.

She used a .50 caliber Desert Eagle firearm which authorities recovered from the grass near the house.

They had ~150 subscribers to their channel.

If old it's just a prank bro.

 

[jwk94]

This hardly sounds like an accident.

 

[aBarreras]

did she shot the book and the bullet went throught or she just missed the book and hit the fucking head?

 

[BronsonLee]

Oh what the fuck

 

[shira]

.50 caliber Desert Eagle

Perez, who is pregnant, told police that Ruiz wanted to make a YouTube video of her shooting a book while he was holding it, as he believed that the book would stop the bullet, according to the criminal complaint.

uh

 

[Sunster]

a book would stop a .50 caliber round


from maybe 5000 ft away

 

[Anung]

What book was it?

 

[jon bones]

a god damn 50 cal?

 

[Betty]

Her name is actually Monalisa, well alright then.

 

[TTOOLL]

People are dumb, indeed.

 

[norm9]

This hardly sounds like an accident.

Certainly cheaper than inviting him on a cruise and him accidentally falling overboard.

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

A Desert Eagle?!

 

[benicillin]

Really sad and dumb.

 

[Thaedolus]

Does this still qualify for a Darwin Award if she was already pregnant?

 

[NorthAndSouth]

I am sorry for the unnecessary loss of life as it does seem to be unintentional, but really now. What did they expect?

 

[.JayZii]

What book was it?

"Vlogging for Dummies"

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

accidentally

a book

.50 caliber Desert Eagle

 

[Redd]

This is both tragic and stupid. Why why why would anyone do something this idiotic.

 

[ephemeral garbage]

it seems like the sort of thing they could have tested first

i mean unless they only had one book which seems plausible

 

[Count Dookkake]

They probably should have tried reading a book.

 

[Bit-Bit]

It's just a prank, bro!

 

[The Jackdog]

.

 

[Rktk]

What book was it?

Whatever it is, it might as well have been a takeaway menu.

 

[John Kowalski]

Really depressing

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

.50 AE vs a book..... Moses' 10 commandments wouldn't save you

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

A foot away.

Desert Eagle.

:/

 

[TheStruggler]

....just a prank bro....

 

[The Kree]

What book is going to stop a Desert Eagle. C'mon, son.

 

[Beartruck]

If you're going to do something this stupid, at least do a test first and make sure the book can stop the bullet. Idiots.

 

[MisterAnderson]

How about shooting the book without holding it in front of your chest to see if the bullet goes through BEFORE holding it in front of your chest?

Fucking idiots.

 

[Goodstyle]

This hardly sounds like an accident.

The logical side of me is thinking that these 2 just didn't think about what they were doing.. the part of me that watches way too many murder mysteries is telling me she knew that the bullet would kill him because she switched out the gun model they were gonna use for the vid at the last minute and then planned on acting like it was just a goof.

 

[Jotaka]

What book was it?

The "On the Origin of Species"?

 

[darscot]

How old do you need to be to own a gun in the US? Don't you have to be like 21 or something to be an adult. I assume it was his gun and he gave it to her and said shoot me. Can't really see how she could be guilty of a crime if she is a minor? If you going to let everyone and their dog roll around with a hand cannon you really need a basic level of education. This is stupidity on an insane level.

P.S. The post above me is savage and I am going straight to hell for laughing.

 

[commedieu]

Come on.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

You out chea taking .50 calibers to the chest for 150 subs?

 

[The Jackdog]

for real thought did we check to see if she was wall hacking

 

[bastardly]

maybe test it first?

 

[Shredderi]

.50 vs a book? I mean, did they even test this before doing this? You'd kinda think that they did and thus had the confidence to go along with it.

 

[Hickbilly Deluxe]

How fucking dumb were these two? I mean seriously. They went and flu d the biggest fucking hand cannon most people have heard of, and thought a book would stop it?

 

[John Dunbar]

you mean all those movies where a cigarette case in the breast pocket saves someone's life lied to me?

why do i even carry a cigarette case then?

i don't even smoke.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Fucking idiots. That kid better go to a new family.

 

[Cranster]

What book was it?

 

[Sober]

it seems like the sort of thing they could have tested first

i mean unless they only had one book which seems plausible

They could afford a desert eagle but not a second book lol

 

[Fercho]

Darwin award for these two....

 

[Ataxia]

So if she isn't lying, the guy wanted to make a video of her shooting a gun at a book that he was holding on his chest, because he thought it would stop the round

What bunch of idiots. Rest in peace and all that but come on now.

[Brazil]

A Deagle shot from one foot away?

Jesus Christ :lol

Give this man the Darwin Award.

 

[Nere]

A book was going to stop a bullet from Desert Eagle? What were they thinking?

 

[Tom Nook]

Ruiz wanted to make a YouTube video of her shooting a book while he was holding it, as he believed that the book would stop the bullet, according to the criminal complaint.
