A bullet that reached its destiny years later

**Ian** · 03-31-2009

Henry Ziegland thought he had dodged fate. In 1883, he broke off a relationship with his girlfriend who, out of distress, committed suicide. The girl's brother was so enraged that he hunted down Ziegland and shot him. The brother, believing he had killed Ziegland, then turned his gun on himself and took his own life. But Ziegland had not been killed. The bullet, in fact, had only grazed his face and then lodged in a tree. Ziegland surely thought himself a lucky man. Some years later, however, Ziegland decided to cut down the large tree, which still had the bullet in it. The task seemed so formidable that he decided to blow it up with a few sticks of dynamite. The explosion propelled the bullet into Ziegland's head, killing him.

good that ****** deserved it. If I was a fucking tree and a bullet hit me and i didn't do shit but stand there I'd be pissed. Plus instead of fucking pulling the bullet out he decided to blow up the fucking tree i'm not surprised the tree got it's fucking revenge...
