hey

Is the kid still alive?

He's going to feel shitty for the rest of his life, whether the kid dies or not. That was a stupid thing to do.

I once heard of a six-year-old who tried repeatedly to get himself charged as an adult for pre-meditated murder.

So you bash your brother in the head with a rock or a tonka truck. At that age you definitely shouldn't know where to find a firearm.

I think these might fall under kelly's "Knowledge of how to shoot?" clause, but seriously, wtf? Don't you at least put a lock on your gun?

Not to get cliche or anything, but
"It's easier to child-proof your gun than bullet-proof your child."

Edit: actually, if the shooter was old enough to take the axe, this would probably be Darwinism at its best.

I'm not talking about availability/opportunity the blame of which undoubtedly falls on the mother. I'm talking about what leads a four-year-old ... A FOUR-YEAR-OLD ... from the thought "I'm angry, I know where mommy's gun is, I know the object of my anger and I will shoot 'it' in the head because that is an excellent kill zone." That's a lot for a four-year-old. Just sayin'

P.S. The inferred question being, "Waht the hell ELSE is going on in that home?!"

Since when were small children peaceful or inherently good? Think about how poorly a 4 year old can control his emotions, and how excesively angry they get when they don't get what they want. I guess what I'm really getting at is that people (especially males) are born with more natural tendencies towards violence and generally anti-social behaviors than they are with morality or any kind of peacefulness.

remember that kid from falling down who knew how to work a rocket launcher? thats were this kid is heading

I figure even at 4, a TV can teach a kid how a gun works. Which doesn't mean I blame TV, which I don't.

While everyone argues about how odd it is that a child would know how to fire a gun, I'm sitting back wondering how a 2 year old survived a shot through the head. What a little badass.

Maybe they let the kids watch GI Joe? They always shot at each other in GI Joe but no one ever DIED. Kid wouldn't HAVE to be thinking about KILLING anyone.

The mother was high thats why she didn't secure the weapon she claims she normally does.

I find this very sad and true.

At the same time time, the kid did get the gun and shoot.

Original motivation? Knowledge of where the gun was? Knowledge of how to shoot? Hell, how did the whole concept of shooting enter the brain of a 4-year-old, much less how to perform the action?

Grysen said the 4-year-old would not be charged with a crime. Under Texas law, children younger than 10 years old cannot be charged with a crime.

but you can rest assured that 10 years olds can get the death penalty with an 8 year stay of execution...

a 2 year old gets a gunshot wound from point-blank range to the head and he lives?

if the kid pulls through, he is to be feared...

This is Resident Evil 4's fault.

I'll skip straight to the "go have a beer part".....

somebody press start, go to 'cure', knife out the bullet, disinfect the wound and sew it. Then save, close the ps2 and go have a beer.

Mar 14th, 2005 05:50 AM

Clearly, this is the fault of video games.

I find this story hilarious, because I'm a bastard like that.
