US quadruple amputee cornhole champion arrested on suspicion of murder - sh.itjust.works

A Maryland man who made history as the first quadruple amputee to compete in the professional televised American Cornhole League has been arrested on suspicion of shooting and killing a passenger in his car during an argument. Dayton Webber – who became a champion cornhole player after losing his limbs and nearly dying from a bacterial infection in his infancy – faces murder charges in connection with the death of Bradrick Wells, authorities said on Monday. According to a statement from investigators with the sheriff’s office of Charles county in suburban Baltimore, Webber was driving his car with Wells as his front-seat passenger at about 10.25pm on Sunday when the pair began arguing in front of others who were in the vehicle. Webber, 27, then allegedly shot Wells to death, pulled over in the community of La Plata, and asked the other passengers to help him remove the dead man from the car, the sheriff’s office said. The others refused, got out of the car and fled the scene while Webber drove away with the body of Wells, also 27, the agency added.

Asked whether the sheriff’s office suspected Wells was shot dead with a gun that had equipment adapting it for use by someone without hands, an agency spokesperson said that was unknown.

Yeah duh because its probably complete bullshit and he is being framed.

Too many witnesses refutes your ‘guess’.

Read the summary or the article next time.

I read the entire article, (obviously because my quote isnt even in the summary) and it makes zero sense. No matter how many witnesses there are, if they cant explain in court how he actually did it then he wont be found guilty. He doesnt have feet either, so he really would need a highly customized contraption or full robotic limbs.

Yeah naw, for the pedals all he would need is sticks, and basically the same for arms. The real question is firing the gun.

The gun is what we are talking about in this thread

The name for the very common game “cornhole” has always made me laugh, since it’s the common name. I love how there are some efforts to call it “bean bag toss”. Yeah, nope, not really seeing much traction there. The only thing funnier to my inner 10 year old would be if there was a legit game called bum darts.

And yes, watching shows like “Blown Away” got plenty of chuckles when they keep referred to “the glory hole”.

We always called it “bags”

In Canada cornhole means something completely different, and every time I see it mentioned on Lemmy it makes me have to stop and translate to American.

That is quite the headline

I had to read it 3 times to figure out what the hell it meant. :p

I have sooo many questions:

So there are three guys with all their arms and legs, but they let the guy with NO arms and legs drive the car?

How does he pull a gun with no arms? I understand that he still has forearms, there are videos of him shooting guns, but I have a hard time believing that this guy is a quick draw artist, and got the drop on his passenger that easily.

Didn’t the dudes in the back try to stop him?

How did he get the dead guy out of his car? He asked the other dudes to do it, but they bailed and drove off, and the victim was found on a lawn somewhere. How did the killer get him out?

How does he play cornhole at such an elite level? I assume he’s throwing the bean bags with his teeth.

Does he play any other sports? Pickleball? Dodgeball? Football (I’m not going to say it)?
