Not sure if that qualifies as a Darwin. The kid just panicked, he didn't commit premeditated stupidity.

I know, but he's just not in the same league as the idiot who decided to go swimming naked with Shamu, you know?

That's more like shit luck rather than a Darwin-worthy case of "Natural Selection". And unlike the Darwins, I actually feel bad for this kid's family.

yeah but if he had grown up he'd only have died getting hit by a bigger car while stealing a real gun. I feel more like laughing at the kid.

Merry Chrsitmas kid's parents.

Now hold on jes' a gall-danged minute thar, hydry.


While I don't think it qualifies as a Darwin award, it DOES count as a case of natural selection. After all, if he was a superior specimen, he wouldn't have panicked and ran blindly into a dangerous situation.

I thought Darwin awards WERE natural selection. Otherwise it's suicide which is an act that is totally anti-darwinian.

No, the Darwin awards aren't merely natural selection. They are awarded to people so spectacularly stupid that their deaths and/or inability to procreate greatly improves the human race as a whole.

Also, kids aren't allowed to get Darwin awards, seeing as how they haven't fully developed mentally.
