Man shot in heated argument over Kant's philosophy

The debate in Russia became a fist-fight. Then someone got out a gun.

AN ARGUMENT OVER the philosophy of Immanuel Kant ended abruptly in Russia when one debater shot the other.

Two men in their 20s were discussing the ideas of Kant – author of Critique of Pure Reason – when the discussion became heated, police said.

First punches were thrown, and then one man pulled out what reports describe as a “nonlethal pistol” and fired several shots at his philosophical enemy.

The victim was hospitalised with injuries that were not life-threatening. Neither person was identified.

The men were queuing to buy beer at a shop in Rostov-on Don, Viktoria Safarova, at the time.

It was not clear which of Kant’s ideas may have triggered the violence.

    Are they missing a zero? Thousand multiplier comma should be after 3 figures.

    It should read 141,520.
    Anyone realise that the Central Bank of Ireland operates under licence from THE BANK OF ENGLAND. So much for an independent Ireland then.

    Not possible. Regardless of what you would like to think, Gerry was at the apartment and seen by many independent witnesses- employees of the club, police officers etc… Not just his ‘friends’, and the Irish family has since admitted it was NOT Gerry they saw, and they have been helping Scotland Yard for the past 18 months.
