I love that the article completely avoids answering any of the obvious questions that people would have.

No mention of how he was driving.

No mention of how he shot the passenger.

Not even a mention of how he plays cornhole.

I get trying to be sensitive toward people with disabilities and not highlight them, but come on! If the man wasn't a quadruple amputee, this wouldn't even be an article. Address the elephant!

TIL: Professional Cornhole apparently pays well enough to make it a career.

Also, being a cyborg does not prevent you from pursuing a career as a cornholler.

The craziest part of this story is that it didn’t take place in Florida

I have so many questions, and the article just left me with more.

If ever an article needed pictures ….
