Police say his cousin, Alexandro Garibaldi, 24, pulled out a gun and responded, "Let's see."

Officers found Mendez outside the house with a gunshot wound in his chest. Mendez died at a hospital.

I guess he found out.

Florida....

I would have to say it does not work. Proof Positive.

I almost put that in the title but figured it went without saying.

I dunno...pretty small sample size...statistically speaking.
Maybe we should try it on the cousin too :)

Sorry, but there's only proof positive that it did not work. Better luck next time, perhaps?

Would have to see its rating to know which calibers it is supposed to protect against. Or if it was supposed to have an armored insert that was missing. Just because you have the condom wrapper doesn't mean you are protected.

exactly..
myself think he was probably wearing 'flak vest'..
folks hawk them at the flea markets around here..

Murder by the cousin, or merely manslaughter?
