Woman blasts off boyfriend’s penis with firecrackers

A Russian woman got so upset by the news that her boyfriend intended to leave her that she tied several firecrackers to his penis and exploded them, the Life.ru web-site reports.

The 33-year-old victim, identified as Alik D. had lived with the woman whose name was reported as Kira V. for about two years, but when the girlfriend started suggesting that they should marry, the man refused and said that he would rather return to his first wife with whom he had a son.

When Alik started moving out Kira suggested that they had a farewell dinner. After a hearty meal and some heavy drinking Alik fell asleep. The girlfriend tied several firecrackers to Alik’s penis and exploded them. The man was rushed to intensive care and doctors are reported to be fighting for his life.

Even if the man survives the girl will face up to 12 years imprisonment.

1. I lived in Moscow during the Bobbit 'incident', and Russian women just rolled their eyes and said

that sort of thing has happened in Russia several times....

[Triana]

2. Well - the link doesn't go to the story but...

..wow. NO MAN is worth 12 years in the clink.

[TahitiNut]

5. Maybe it's because firecrackers are illegal?

:dunce:

[CatWoman]

6. !!

3. You always seem to find these off the wall stories.

Which is cool !!!

[Bucky]

4. Good heavens! At least Bobbit could get a reattachment.

And yet, part of my mind is going... "hmmm, does that mean she's single now?"

[Stevenmarc]

7. She sent his Cosmonuts into space.

[Gwendolyn]

8. A revolting story.

It isn't funny when men mutilate and kill women because they're human-property obsessed arses, and this is no better.

[jkirch]

9. I think so, too.

[Gwendolyn]

16. Because you are a human being.

:) If this was a story about a woman being fed roofies and then having her boobs lopped off, people would be vomiting as they reply. I couldn't even imagine having an ex do something so horrific to me. Although of course, everyone dreams of their ex expiring in a horrific car accident, or dying the death of a thousand cuts or something. It's a fantasy. But to actually do it!!!!

Not aimed at you jkirch, but why are men so okay with stories like this? Is it because they secretly feel disgust for a man who didn't control his woman and take care of his business? Are men more inured to violence and therefore also titter secretly when it happens to women but just don't say anything? Lol, I don't understand it. If any guy wants to answer this for me, I'd be interested to know.

Edited for typo.

15. Thank you for the best, common sense post on this topic

People who make light of violence like this only serve to perpetuate it.

[liberalhistorian]

30. Amen! This is absolutely just as sickening and unfunny as

any violence against women, and should be equally condemned. I hope the poor man survives (although his life will likely be hell, admittedly), and that she gets to stay in the pen for a very long time to come.

If this were the other way around, there'd be no joking at all.

[zbdent]

10. she misunderstood him when said

"blow me!" ...

[Anakin Skywalker]

22. Good One!

Funny.

[liberalhistorian]

31. What the fuck is so funny about it?

The man might actually die and will live without a penis if he survives, (with the resulting required use of a catheter, etc.), at the hands of a crazy woman who blew him up with firecrackers and all because he simply didn't want to be with her anymore. What in the FUCK is so goddamned funny about that?

[Morrisons Ghost]

33. Well because it happened

To an "evil" male silly! It's apparently the height of hilarity when a man gets mutilated but change the gender and it's a crime against humanity!:sarcasm:

[seabeyond]

34. except

it is almost exclusively males making their "funny" comments.

i tend to see it all as sick. and so sorry for the dude.

[cagesoulman]

11. Fucking ouch!

I hope she fries.

[Forkboy]

12. That's the spirit!

:eyes:

[dem629]

13. Clearly a hate crime.

[TommyO]

14. Crime of passion? Yes, absolutely. Hate crime? No.

[dem629]

18. Why not?

[Gwendolyn]

19. Because apparently she doesn't hate all men. Just the one who left her.

Loathing one person is not a hate crime.

[dem629]

23. Why did she choose that organ?

[Gwendolyn]

28. So he could never go back to his ex-wife and have sex with her again?

If you could show that she did this to all men that she came into contact with, or had a salivating, predator need to emasculate only blond men, or hairy men, then you'd have a point. But you don't.

[TommyO]

29. Because under existing, and proposed, hate crime laws here in the US

it doesn't meet the criteria. Yes, I know this didn't happen in the US, but I'm guessing it was our hate crime laws you were referring to.

[rug]

17. She lost his head.

[arcadian]

21. That's one way to get rid of STDs

[Bozita]

24. Might have been those notorious Cock Brand firecrackers.

Always thought it was a strange brand name.

[Rosco T.]

25. Ow! OW! Ow! Ow! Ow!

((clutches in protection)) Need a WARNING on stories like that!

[madinmaryland]

26. Great balls a fire!

:hide:

[JVS]

27. She'll never find a husband now.

[cascadiance]

32. Bobbitt was a "fitting" name for her crime. Any speculation what Kira's last name was?

Volatile
Volcanic
Vavoom

[wuvuj]

35. Crazy Biatch?
