Sometimes, the safety on a gun works exactly as needed and this was one of those times.

This former attorney wanted to kill his ex-wife. His brilliant plan was walk into a restaurant and just do it.
One problem. He forgot to take the safety off.
The second problem for him?
A very brave waiter.

TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG/Gray News) - A former attorney accused of trying to shoot and kill his ex-wife inside an Ohio restaurant full of patrons has been convicted, authorities said.
A Lucas County jury found Matthew Exton, 43, guilty of attempted murder, two counts of felonious assault and multiple firearm specifications.
The jury found Exton not guilty on a remaining count of felonious assault.
On April 11, 2025, Exton ordered a drink at the bar inside a restaurant in Toledo. After leaving the restaurant, he saw his ex-wife and her family at another restaurant next door, according to Lucas County Prosecuting Attorney Julia R. Bates.

That waiter deserves a parade in his honor.
Why do women have to lose their minds and scream at the top of their lungs for 5 minutes straight?

That's why men are needed in society. Each sex has our own strength. The job of women is to alert to danger. Heh.
I really like the part where the insufferable women screech nonstop and making everything 100x more chaotic than it should be.

That dude is going to be muttering “f*cking safety” for the next 20 years.

She's pointing out the suspect for the police. Lulz.
His testosterone was all over the place. He couldn't help himself. A jury must find him not guilty.

Pretty sure that guy's testosterone was close to non-existent, but the joke can stand with everything else going on in today's legal system (See Lindsay Clancy trial, for example).
He admitted to thrusting his gun. 😂🤡
