Craig Finn of County Durham, England spent a month in a coma and had his left leg amputated after his friend, James Gillibrand, thought it would be a hilarious gag to light Finn’s leg on fire while he was sleeping. “LOL, you’re burning! HaHa! Old Jimmy Gillibrand strikes again!”
That foolishness resulted in this…

Dude now has to go through life with half his leg missing because he sucked at picking friends. There are no words for how pissed off I would be. I don’t even know the guy and I want nothing more than for Finn to get to watch as Gillibrand is tied down and has his fucking dick burned off. Leg for a leg? Nope. Leg for a dick AND also a leg. You’re already paying for someone to burn off the guy’s dick, might as well take a leg too.
Finn, however, has learned from his poor friend choices and says he has no plans to reconnect with Gillibrand.
Per Metro:
Craig, who only realized he had lost his leg after coming out of the coma, says his life will never be the same, and that he does not want to reconcile with his former friend.
He said: ‘I have to wake up every day, get out of bed and see that I have no leg and put on a fake one.’
As for Gillibrand, he isn’t getting out of this with just a slap on the wrist, but he also probably isn’t going to be forced to have his dick set ablaze either. The judge put the walking brain infection in jail without bail until his hearing on October 8th.
