Idiot Films Himself Shooting Sign Against North Carolina’s Gay Marriage Ban [View all]

Have you heard about North Carolina's Amendment 1? Like California's Proposition 8, this measure would amend the state constitution to define marriage as being between one man and one woman — but it would also ban gay civil unions and domestic partnerships.

Today Joe My God posted this video of brilliant political commentary from a trigger-happy asshole with a YouTube account, in which the man fires a gun at his neighbor's "Vote Against Amendment One" sign. Hey, if you can't shoot gay people directly, might as well shoot signs supporting LGBT rights.

UPDATE:
The shooter's name is Alex Wiles. Here's a link to his Facebook page, in case you'd like to let him know how you feel.

UPDATE #2:
Alex Wiles has taken the original video down. Luckily, YouTuber bstewart23 has uploaded a mirrored version, now embedded in this post.
