To toss in a tale of Instant Karma, some guy was beating his dog with the butt end of a -loaded- weapon and accidentally shot himself in the gut. When the paramedics got there, I think he was already dead, he a gunshot wound the belly and lots of little bite marks from the little dog that didn't have it coming.

This tale is a perfect example of why the whole idea of karma is a load of self-deceiving bull. Yeah it's karma if you only take into account what happened to the guy, but what about the dog. As you say yourself, he didn't have it coming. Was that karma?
