This looks like it sucked.

An x-ray showing the skull of a Chinese immigrant shot more than 30 times in the head and neck with a nail gun has been released by police in Australia.

Brutal.

Poor guy.

To me that has "personal" written all over it.

He got nailed! Awesome!!!

Oh yeah...um...poor guy.

Gee... ya think?

i wonder if he did it on his own or if someone did it to him. hmmm i just can't figure it out!

What a way to off yourself, eh? He'd have had to back up into the gun, have it go off on its own. Quite a lot of preparation involved.

He should have hung himself like the rest of us...

He-er...didn't live, did he?

Haha. Found that on the comment secetion of the article.

*facepalm*

Wow, there's a nail in his tooth.

Makes me wonder if there are any new Nail gun-Control Laws in the land down under.

Anyone want to place bets on how long it will be before the photo is used for the album cover of some shit nu-metal band?

I'll put a five spot on it.

Yes. Yes it does.

I second that. And what the hell, children found the body?! I hope they're not getting any nightmares.

Ahh, didn't read the article.
That's why I laughed anyway.
Sinjob made me laugh too.

If they ever catch the guy that did this, the DA is gonna nail 'em to the wall.

There are none in the front of the head or face, none in the eyes. If it was hatred, one would think the face would be included in the barrage of violence.

I suspect that whoever did it, did not hate the victim. They may have been a randomly selected target. The murderer may have had a fixation of nails into the skull only, the penetration of the virgin skull bone by the nail being a proxy r @ p e violation of some psychotic type. If they ever find who did it, the murderer will make an interesting psychological study.

That's an interesting observation. Do you happen to have criminal profiling experience of some sort?

That's one pretty brutal pic. I remember seeing the pic online at work last week and the my first response was a certain four letter word starting with F.

I noticed there were no nails in the face too but I had a different theory to explain it. The article said the body was found in a marsh, and I assumed the victim was held face down against the soft ground in an attempt to smother him or muffle his screams. I imagine the victim was forced or beaten to the ground and held down by others or by the shooter putting his knees on the victim's back--making it harder for him to fight back.

It's also possible that the criminal didn't want to see the victim's face when he killed him. Even the most hardened criminal would probably have a hard time looking the victim in the eyes as he shoots over 30 nails into his head. People who commit hate crimes often attempt to dehumanize their victims in their own mind to make the crime easier to commit. If it was a hate crime then putting the victim face down may have helped the killer think of himself killing some Asian guy instead of this individual guy.

I also suspected that it may have been a hate crime. What an absolutely horrific way to die.

Man,
that's a brutal way to die.
Poor guy.
