[UA] Fireman Saved By DVD Case That Stopped Bullet

[Anthony H.]

>From CBS News:

'A South Carolina man is thankful for a DVD that ended up taking a bullet
for him. Colleton County Fire and Rescue Director Barry McRoy says he was
leaving a Waffle House restaurant in Walterboro on Saturday morning when two
men ran in fighting over a gun. Police say a bullet hit one of the
struggling men, shattered a window and then hit McRoy.

The bullet hit a DVD McRoy was carrying in his pocket. He suffered a bruise
but didn't realize he had been shot. As he told a police officer what
happened he noticed a bullet hole in his jacket, the shattered DVD case and
a piece of the bullet.

'I was saved by a DVD,' McRoy says. 'How lucky can you get?'

One man was arrested on assault and battery and gun charges.

The DVD was nicked. It was a gift from an employee who had recorded a TV
show about fire extinguishers.'

Please note, this was not the DVD itself, just the case.

Maybe the DVD was indeed just a TV show about fire extinguishers. Maybe a
bibliomancer and videomancer teamed up to create a ritual to extend the
meaning of Fire Extinguisher to include gunfire?

I think it's also possible that Barry McRoy is a burgeoning avatar of the
Firefighter. It's possible that he got in a little too deep unto the Occult
Underground when his illegitimate son, Rory Cramby, found out he was the
victim of a tilt ritual by his father. His father found out, had the DVD
charged with the ritual above, but called in one last favor to watch his
back. The Freak actually owed McRoy a favor.

Neither the Freak or McRoy expected Cramby to have melted down and
reshaped the Magic Bullet for a pistol.

But everything happened according to McRoy's plan. Cramby's in prison, and
McRoy now has the Magic Bullet. Its fragments are still in the DVD case.

Oh, and only one of the "gunmen" was arrested because no one catches the
Freak.

"Magick is the highest, most Absolute, most Divine Knowledge of natural
Philosophy, advanced in its works and wonderful operations by a right
understanding of the inward and occult (hidden) virtue of things; so that
true agents being applied to proper patients, strange and admirable effects
will hereby be produced. Whence magicians are profound and diligent
searchers into Nature; they, because of their skill, know how to anticipate
an effect, the which to the vulgar shall seem to be a miracle."
