title (as-posted): Andrew Wirth Kills Officer Jennifer Luick, Her Boyfriend, Because She Pinched His Butt

The title actually slanders Mr. Wirth, who was clearly defending himself against assault by two drunks. The facts of the incident demonstrate CLEARLY that the title (composed by Pete Kotz of truecrimereport.com) is not merely inaccurate, the final 5 words are an outright, manufactured lie.

Problem: the boyfriend (Gregg Peters) made a decision to assault Mr. Wirth, based upon incitement by his drunk girlfriend (a cop, officer Jennifer Luick, who made no effort to identify herself as a police officer).

The man Mr. Peters assaulted turned out to be armed, and Mr. Peters (long record of assault and law-breaking charges) will no longer be passing his testosterone-swollen Stupid Gene along into the future of humanity.

While Ms. Luick also ended as collateral damage to the incident she incited, she is survived by a 12-year old son and is thus ineligible for a true Darwin.

Maybe she is eligible for an "Almost-Ran." Or, perhaps, a "Good Team Effort?" She should, at least, get some sort of an "Assist" for being the person who incited her boyfriend into a Darwin situation.

The story (as HIGHLY INACCURATELY "reported" by Pete Kotz) is copied below. Visiting the website and reading through the commentary, you will find a LOT of extra information and URL links to court & arrest records, as well as information about the on-going trial and witness testimony.

Asshat Gregg Peters, hereby nominated for a December 2009 Darwin Award. I suggest appending the Drunken Violent Thug Cluster, with Möbius Ribbon of Instant Karma.

Famous Last Words: "let's take this outside"

Strategery FAIL: "Hmmm. MAYBE I should have checked to see if that guy was armed BEFORE I tried to beat him up." AND "If nobody knows that my girlfriend is a cop, then she's pretty useless as an intimidation tool."

Investigation Potential: it has yet to be determined beyond all reasonable doubt that Mr. Peters did not, in fact, reproduce prior to instigating his own demise. No reports in the past 2 months have mentioned any spawn by him, though.

UPDATE: Friend [of Jennifer Luick] Carol Blasier says Gregg Peters went looking for a fight moments before the shooting, and provides a more detailed description of what happened that night. See update after the jump...

Police officer Jennifer Luick and boyfriend Gregg Peters were at a bar Saturday night listening to a band in Jefferson, Wisconsin. Friend Carol Blasier says Jennifer was dancing, drinking and, just to be "playful," "grabbing everyone's butts in the bar as a joke." Most men wouldn't take offense to this, since we're genetically starved for female attention. But Andrew Wirth did. He has a neck tattoo, the international signal for "Since It's Not Self-Evident, You Should Know That I Am a Very Bad and Dangerous Man." Which means he just had to take umbrage with the Oconomowoc cop's harmless overture. "I was on a (expletive) date and that guy's girlfriend grabbed my (butt)," he later told police.

Jennifer apparently came back to her group to tell them Wirth was weirding out. As he tells it, Peters then came up to him and asked him to step outside. Wirth was game. "If he wanted to (expletive) with me, that's life," he told police.

​But instead of abiding by Wisconsin bar fighting rules -- under which both men swing recklessly, tire quickly, then repair to the bar for additional liquid sustenance -- Wirth pulled a gun and shot the cop and Peters, then fled, according to witnesses. The two victims were later pronounced dead.

He was soon arrested and quickly confessed to the shooting, even telling police where they could find the gun. He also repeatedly asked about the condition of his victims, saying he didn't wish to kill anyone, and mentioned that he "didn't think the guy got hit enough times so that he would die," say police.

But he also invoked that favorite defense of preschoolers everywhere, contending that "(Jennifer's) the one that started it."

Wirth, who police believe is tied to the Los Diablos motorcycle gang, didn't stay long in his state of contrition, however. During his initial court hearing yesterday, he lunged at spectators in the audience. Police had to taser him to bring him under control.

Video Andrew Wirth's outburst in court above. UPDATE: In court yesterday, Jennifer Luick's friend Carol Blasier offered a more detailed description of what went down that night. Andrew Wirth appeared in court shackled and cuffed after his outburst last week, a stun belt attached to his waist. He listened as witnesses provided a bit more detail on how two people ended up dead at the Rock Bottom Saloon. Blaiser said Jennifer jokingly grabbed Wirth's butt, so Wirth turned around and glared at her. As they were all about to leave, Jennifer told boyfriend Gregg Peters about the incident. So Peters returned to the bar with Jennifer trailing. "It looked like there was going be a fight," according to witness Sam Gottlieb. Wirth and Peters walked outside with Jennifer behind them. Witnesses say they saw Peters and Wirth struggling and Wirth pointing a gun at him. Wirth seemed reluctant to fight. "The man with the gun told him to quit being so stupid," witness Brian Trader said. No one heard shots or saw gunfire, but they soon saw Jennifer run back into the bar yelling for someone to call 911. Then she collapsed. Peters made it to the entryway and begged for help. Wirth bolted the scene but was arrested a short time later.

Definitely Toss: No Self-Selection
Thanks, but there's no self-selection to this story that I can see. On top of that, stories involving shootings are simply way too common.
