Youtuber to serve jail time for killing her boyfriend


A 20 year old pregnant woman will be serving some jail time after a stunt for a YouTube video resulted in the death of her boyfriend, who is also the father of her 3 year old daughter.

The couple had planned to see if a .50 Caliber bullet would pass through a book her boyfriend (Pedro Ruiz III) was holding in front of his stomach. A few hours before the shooting Perez tweeted: "Me and Pedro are probably going to shoot one of the most dangerous videos ever. This is HIS idea not MINE."

The shooting took place outside their home in Halstad. Ruiz set up one camera on the back of a vehicle and another camera on a ladder nearby, according to the criminal complaint. Perez stood about a foot away and fired the weapon.



A a .50-caliber Desert Eagle was used in the tragic stunt. The weapon is described as "one of the world's most powerful semiautomatic handguns" by the specialty retail company Cabela's.

shot that same gun at my old government book with ol' georgie boy on the cover. the bullet blew a huge hole right through that book, the railroad ties behind it, and then buried itself 2 ft in the dirt behind those railroad ties. dumb fucking people deserve to die by dumb ass stunts.

Oh wow. Only idiots use a fiddy cal for anything other than range use.

Read this the other day. It deserves the nomination I suppose. Something better will win though, tbh.

I'm guessing he wasn't a Pynchon reader.

And how stupid do you have to be to not test it first? Was that their only book?
