Ho, ho, ho was replaced by Ow! &#%@* when Santa was shot with a pellet gun while riding atop a fire engine. Who in the world would shoot Santa Claus? is the question du jour. This kid will be lucky if there’s a rabid wolverine in his stocking. Dammit. Stuff like this just pisses me off. :mad:
So are you pissed off that someone shot Santa, or are you pissed off because someone is pissed off because someone is pissed off about the Santa shooting?
Maybe the Jolly Old Elf should have given the little SOB a bicycle no matter how bad he was…
It’s okay, Santa is fine.
That was just some guy in a suit.
Santa’s helpers do all the promo appearances.
The REAL Santa does all the 900 number gigs.
SOMEbody’s getting coal in his stocking!
pause for big laffs
guffaw
Caution: improper use may yield diamonds.
Jeez, give a kid an official Red Ryder carbine action two-hundred shot range model air rifle with a compass in the stock and that thing that tells time, and look what you get in return.
Ingrate.
Santa’s lucky his eye wasn’t put out.
I mean that seriously, by the way. Air rifles today can be quite powerful, and their misuse can kill someone.
We had some brain-dead individuals around here who thought it would be a fun idea to shoot at cars heading down the parkway. One woman had her side window explode over her, and the pellet penetrated her cheek and chipped a tooth.
If it were me, I’d charge the kid with attempted murder. Maybe the charge would be pled down, but you don’t point any kind of gun at a living thing you don’t want dead. It’s as simple as that.
Like Queen Amidala’s handmaidens?
What kind of chickenshit asshole uses a body double in a public appearance? Shades of Lorenzo the Great!
Watch?
Sun dial?
Atomic clock?
He shot Santa Claus but he didn’t shoot no elf.
Oh, no, oh
He shot Santa Claus but he didn’t shoot no elf.
Ooh, ooh, ooh Yeah
Ol’ Santa Claus hated him.
For what I don’t know.
Every time he hung a sock,
He’d fill it with coal.
He’d fill it with coal.
I always thought it was just understood that people such as Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, people in those character costumes at amusements parks, etc were legitimate targets on account of wearing silly clothes. At least as long as we’re not talking about serious bodily harm. Come on, everybody, own up to it. We all tackle those freaks on sight, right? It can’t be just me.
I think the attempted murder idea might be a bit much. It sounds like a prank, something that can be solved by his parents whomping the shit out of him with a belt or something.
(Ralphie don’t know from chronometers.)
Ahhhh.
Luckily enough I’ve never seen that movie.
I’m sorry… I can’t tell from that link… this is WHERE in West Virginia? (Kentucky? Arkansas?)
It was a stupid prank by a dumb kid. However, I think a little perspective is in order from some of the peoe in the article. Quoting:
“They did a great job in finding out who was responsible for the despicable act, and we will take him to task,” he said. “Hopefully, justice will be swift and unmerciful.”
Jesus man. Despicable act??? Um, raping a 2 year old is a despicable act. Beating an old person is a despicable act. Shooting someo with a pellet gun, maybe breaking the skin and causing a bruise is a dumb act. A silly act. An annoying act. A wrong act. But a despicable act?? Please.
Then they follow this dandy up with the statement that justice should be swift and unmerciful. What kind of sick fucks are these people. Unmerciful?? Does this imply we should enact the full measure of law for this? Many years in prison for this hardened criminal? Remember they charged him with aggravated assault, this could be prison time. Our society should pay 25k a year to put a person in prison, expose them to negative environments and scar them for life because they shot a person with a pellet gun?!?!?!
Justice is making the young boy apologize publicly. Justice is making him serve as Santa’s elf for the next 5 years. Justice is making him pick up trash after the parade. Justice IS NOT labeling him a dangerous criminal and putting him in prison.
Man, some people need some fucking perspective.
