Imad al Alami and his negligent discharge

| January 31, 2018

AW1Ed sends a link from Fox News which tells the story of the sad end of Hamas co-founder Imad al Alami who was inspecting his handgun a few weeks ago when it discharged into his terrorist head;

Imad al-Alami, 62, was “examining his personal weapon in his home” Jan. 9 when the gun went off and a bullet struck him in the face, Hamas said.

He had been hospitalized in Gaza until his death, according to the Jerusalem Post.

Hamas initially announced al-Alami died of natural causes, dispelling rumors he’d committed suicide or was murdered. However, the group later admitted an accident had actually caused al-Alami’s death.

Yeah, history is replete with accidental deaths – Ceasar accidentally stabbed himself twenty times, Gaddafi accidentally stabbed himself in the ass, Saddam Hussein accidentally tripped and fell into a noose. Now, poor terrorist, Imad al-Alami, accidentally shot himself in the head.

There are no “accidents” with firearms, someone has to consciously pull the trigger.

I’m going to take a guess and assume that Imad never took a gun safety class?

BRAVO!!!!

You forgot “BURMA SHAVE”, GB!

Technically, it is natural causes. When a bullet enters the head and destroys the brain, it’s only natural that the person should die. /sarc

Just call it lead poisoning.

So will there be a Hamas wide safety stand down?

Animal

Just for L/Cpl’s and below.

Sorry, just for L/Terrorist’s and below.

Fixed it.

GDContractor

Yep. They’re all disassembling and inspecting their weapons to see if the Zion trigger group has somehow been installed. Oh, it’s real.

rgr769

Maybe there will be a Hamas wide mandatory power-point on handgun cleaning and safe handling practices. Probably will take four weeks of training when one considers the IQ’s of these inbred goat humpers.

After I read the headline I figured he had a dose of the clap and had spread it to the local goats.

“Let’s say he died of a heart attack or pneumonia!”

“Can’t. Too many saw the hole in his head.”

“Um. Ah. Assassination?”

“Never! It would not have been Allah’s will that an infidel should reach him here.”

“Accident?”

“Brilliant!”

This is the kind of triggering I like to see. He clearly won’t have need of a safe space.

Graybeard

They are either saying that, or “I love it when they do our work for us.”

Ex-PH2

So, I guess he didn’t attend the class where you’re told to keep your booger hook off the bang switch?

Poor fellow. Was he turned down for the IED explosive life finale class? I can understand his angst, if that’s the case.

Let us all follow-up with an appropriate “him”.

Lurker Curt

Fahk him?

CCO

Funny how it works, but somehow once you get to “management” level of a terrorist organization, you are “over-qualified” for the suicide bomber position.

A Proud Infidel®™

Ex-PH2, wouldn’t say, “Fah-kheem” be more culturally appropriate even though I prefer “DARWIN AKHBAR!”?

Yef

Two possible scenarios.
1) He was looking into the barrel.
2) The barrel was looking at him.

A Proud Infidel®™

A Gremlin struck while he was looking down the barrel, yeah, THAT’S IT!!!

Maybe he hired his cleaning through Mossad.com?

About “Accidental” Deaths and/or “Suicide (aka self-murder).

When I was stationed in the PI at Clark AB mid-70’s there was a bus crash on the road to a mountain city called Baguio (sp). The bus had 60 people in it who were trying to get to Baguio to sale things at a Convention happening there.

The original bus driver (and owner) told them that they had to find other transportation because his bus was unsafe because of mechanical troubles to include the brakes. A little while later his cousin took the bus, supposedly unknown to owner, and started up to Baguio. On a very tight hairpin turn the bus crapped out, the brakes failed and the bus crashed down about a 100 foot embankment. The 30 people in the back of the bus “cushioned” the people in the front of the bus. 30 people dead and all of the rest beat up bad, driver in his seat belt in his seat was not hurt that bad.

They scramble the “Jollys” and we were on scene about 2 hours after the crashed. There was still a lot to do saving the victims and getting the bodies recovered; work about 6 hours. I actually have slides of the body recovery portion of this crash.

So back to “Accidental” Deaths and/or “Suicide (aka self-murder):

About 4 to 6 weeks later my housemaid brought me a newspaper that had an article about the bus crasher/driver; it seemed that he committed “Suicide” or at least that is how it was reported. One of the worst cases of “suicide” I had ever read about. He stabbed, slashed or cut himself at least 30 times with a Bolo knife (Philippine machete). And the Philippine Official quoted agreed with me about it being the “Worst case of suicide that he had ever witnessed.”

So, yes “Suicide” can be very bad. Almost like crashing a plane.

Graybeard

Like Carrasco’s death was ruled ‘suicide’ by the JP. His rational: “When a Texas Ranger tells you to drop your weapon and you don’t, that is suicide.”

And that is the official cause of death still listed on his death certificate.

Roger in Republic

In Tombstone AZ. a man was pulled from the jail by a mob and hanged. The Coroners verdict was ” Death by misadventure. Strangulation, self inflicted or otherwise”.

Perry Gaskill

Tombstone had some twisted humor going back in the day. One epitaph on Boothill:

“Here lies Lester Moore
Four slugs from a .44
No Les No more …”

Wilted Willy

Oh, what a shame! This is my sad face!! sarc.

QMC

What was the final cause of death? The bullet or staying in a hospital in Gaza?

Ex-PH2

I’m sure the goats in his neighborhood will miss him.

What? Too soon?

Just for you, Imad al Alami. Enjoy. 😉

Claw:

What does Imad al-Alami score on the Official TAH Name Scrabble (Home Version) Whiz Wheel with his self-inflicted gunshot wound multiplier?

Claw

And the official score is:

Imad al-Alami (BLDAM*/DOT) 22×5= 110

*Bernathian Level Dumb Ass Move

Doc Savage

Generic automatic pistol: 350 US Dollars

One round of unknown caliber:10 cents

Showing future Hamas suicide attackers how to do the job right by leading from the front: Priceless

Claw

Corrected/Amended Scoring: Now – 132

Since Imad al-Alami is one of those Dipshit Rag Heads we’ve been fighting for the past 17 years and pulled a BLDAM* on himself, he now falls into a new special multiplier category for TAH Name Scrabble (Home Version)®™.

That multiplier will be six (6) and is reserved for the above scenario and for other stateside suspects/perps who pull a BLDAM*/DRT on themselves, but were revived by EMTs only to become DOT (Dead Over There) at a later time.

*Bernathian Level Dumb Ass Move.

Gee. Another senseless death that could have been prevented had HAMAS passed stricter gun control laws. Ma Salama bitch.

Let us hope he gave firearms safety training to many of his fellow ‘Slamo/Palinazi buddies.

Wasn’t there another Hamas founder that also died from an the same defective pistol about two years ago? I kind of remember hearing this before (might just be old age).

I just want to know what kind of intel this dude had on the Clintons.

Wait, you mean this was a case of Arkancide?

rgr1480

…After the 2014 Israel-Hamas war, al-Alami traveled to Turkey for treatment for an injury in which he lost a leg. Hamas said he was wounded in the war.

I wonder if he accidentally shot himself in the leg as well.

rgr1480

Here lies, with a hole in his head,
The remains of Imad al Alami,
most thoroughly dead.

Whilst cleaning his weapon, he thought he’d have fun
and peered down the barrel
of this magnificent gun.

“Suicide!” said others; “Assassination!” cried some;
But negligent discharges occur
When you’re not safe with your gun.

The lesson today is plain to be seen:
Clear your weapon
AFTER removing the magazine!

A Proud Infidel®™

Imad al Alami
Had less brains
Than a salami
He thought it
Would be fun
To look gown his gun
The gun went *BOOM*
right there in the room
A big hole in his head
Now he is dead

RULE 2
NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY

RULE 3
KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER TIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET

RULE 4
BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET

3 out of 4 Rules violated, resulting in a grievous wound and lingering death. And I’m good with that. For the record, I’ve never had a negligent discharge. And I never will again, either.

So since he offed himself without taking anyone else, does that mean he only gets 7.2 virgins in the afterlife?

PLASTIC DUCK

“Never ever let your gun, pointed be at anyone”
I guess “anyone” here means someone you don’t intend to kill.
I don’t know if he qualifies for his virgins.
Raghead training pamphlet.
Always keep your personal weapon clean.
Before cleaning, remember to clear your weapon.
The best way to do this is to point it at your head and squeeze the trigger.
If you can’t identify your head than point your weapon at a fellow raghead and squeeze the trigger 3 times or more until you hear a click.
After cleaning check your ammunition is functional and correctly loaded. You can do this by pointing the muzzle of the loaded weapon at your or a raghead’s ear, and affirming that you can hear a bang when you squeeze the trigger.

A Proud Infidel®™

So since he offed himself I assume he only gets 7.2 virgins!

Docduracoat

Another negligent discharge causing death
Was it a Glock?
I am always amazed that people buy guns that require a trigger pull to field strip
You can tell me about “ the safety is between your ears”, but there are plenty of striker fired guns that do not require trigger pull to take apart
That is a design flaw that Glock could easily fix

Casey

I havta ask: how many documented examples of a negligent discharge while stripping a Glock do you know of? I understand you philosophical point, but I wonder if there have been many real-world examples.

Casey

As for “accidental” discharge vs. negligent discharge, how many here have heard stories of someone killing themselves with a pistol that REALLY IS unloaded?

For that matter, what about that DEA lamsak (you know, the one who later sued YouTube) who literally shot himself in the foot after proclaiming he was the only one in the room qualified to bear a side-arm?

I seem to recall an entire video that was a mash-up of various police negligent discharges. You know, the people who were in theory trained to handle firearms?
