DEA agent Lee Paige shooting himself in the leg

CATEGORIES | Apropos Rumination, Government, Gun Ownership

I’ve wanted to post this video of DEA agent Lee Paige shooting himself in front of a classroom full of students for years. However, I haven’t had the time until now. Enjoy!

Once you are done laughing at the video, head over to The Smoking Gun (irony) and read about Mr. Paige’s lawsuit against the government for leaking the video. Encouraging a mentality like Mr. Paige’s - one where you can be a complete dumbass and get paid money for it - is a major factor in the degradation of the quality of life in America.

Are you really that weak Mr. Paige? You pulled a dumbass move by shooting yourself on video camera and now you want it buried? Own up, man up, toughen up. You’re supposed to be acting like a grown up. Have you learned anything from your dumb mistake? Why do you still have a job protecting Americans from themselves in the biggest nanny organization in a nation of whining babies? You’ve proved you can’t handle the responsibility.

Sign up for a monastery somewhere and take a few years to discover what true character is. Come on back, watch the video with the rest of us and then prove you’ve changed for the better. Grow up Lee Paige. A real professional would never make a statement like “I am the only one in this room professional enough to . . . (insert whatever here)” - that’s a sign of arrogance not professionalism.

Wow Trevor.. not that I do not agree with you about this incident… but this thing went down several years ago.

I would not want this guy on my force.. I would not want him in my home armed.. period.  But your 100% right that he is weak minded fool in thinking he was a victom of blunt jokes etc..

When I saw the video for the first time.. sent to me by the chief of the police force I work with in Utah part time.. I had the very same thoughts as you… its pitiful that a dumbass got filmed in the first place when you shot your own weapon fooling around…

I was just thinking about you and wondering how you are doing on my way to work this morning.

I posted this video even though it is old because it is the clearest illustration I have come across in my life of bureaucratic arrogance. For Lee Paige to have the nerve to a) lecture people about how skilled he is and b) immediately after shoot himself in the foot and c) sue everyone else because he is a dumbass is so incredibly arrogant that this video deserves to be kept alive and mocked for the next century at a minimum.

This guy is an incompetent idiot who shouldn’t be driving a cab much less holding a gun.  

Not only that he is a federal agent and he speaks like he didn’t graduate high school.  so sad!!!

I don’t disagree with you.
