Man pelted to death with oranges

[madoka]

We need common sense regulation and registration of oranges now! Surely there is no legitimate need for a person to have so many oranges. We should also pass laws controlling the size of these assault fruit. It's gotten out of control! If it saves just one life, it is worth doing.

Two men in rural South Africa are suspected of killing a farmworker by throwing oranges at him.

Citing witness accounts, police lieutenant-colonel Moatshe Ngoepe said the suspects had allegedly argued with the man, then collected oranges and begun hurling them at him.

"They started pelting the deceased with all those loose oranges, killing him on the spot," Ngoepe said. However, he cautioned that an investigation was still under way and aspects of a case he described as complicated still had to be verified.

"They started pelting the deceased with all those loose oranges, killing him on the spot"
How do you kill someone that is already dead?

I nearly spit my out Orange Crush when I read this. Only a scurvy dog like you would joke about a man being beaten to a pulp. I'd smack you with a tang if I could.

It was a run-by fruiting!

That statement (in all its variations) is getting so trite and tired every time someone dies by a means other than guns. You like guns and you don't want the sale of them regulated regardless what kind they are. We get it.

I don't know how you can kill someone by pelting them with oranges. They're not that heavy and they're kinda squishy, so they have some give to them. Maybe if they were grapefruits, or apples. :hmm:

Incidentally, this is how I want to die, if you replace "oranges" with "boobs".

You want to be pelted to death with hardened human breasts separated from the chest? Hot. The Inquisition would have liked you.

 

[Printer Bandit]

when life hands you oranges, use them to take a life.

You almost make it sound sick and perverted.

I guess it's true that too much vitamin C is bad for you. Talk about going on an acid trip.

 

[SSSnail]

We are all oranges!

Am I doing it right?

 

[Chaotic42]

Orange you glad they didn't use bananas?

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Orange you glad they didn't use bananas?

The funny thing is that if this was a story about a black minority pelted to death with bananas in a white nation, it would be met with international outrage. Farmer is murdered in the continuing persecution of whitey, and it's all fun and games.

(Remember, orange symbolizes Dutch pride.)

This thread is so many kinds of retarded, but I'll just go for the low-hanging fruit.

Oranges can be quite large, especially if they get crossed with another similar tree. I've seen oranges and orange hybrids that approached the size of grapefruit. They're squishy, but getting pelted with several dozen 5-10 pound oranges would ruin your day.

So the death certificate is like "Death by Orange"?

 

[amdhunter]

Africa eh? They must have been cabbages.

OP is basically pelting the dead horse with oranges at this point.

We need common sense regulation of idiots posting nonsense like this.

It's not cute, it's not funny, in fact, it just makes you look like a moron. You should be pelted with watermelons for posting this.

5-10 pound oranges??? WTF kind of orange is that?

A grapefruit may go a bit more than a pound but is likely less than a pound. The only fruits in the 5-10 pound range are things like watermelon and even these seldom see 10 pounds.

However, a crisp orange or fifty of half a pound if thrown by Nolan Ryan might well f'you up.

There's a Monty Python skit in there somewhere...
