A teenage girl is hit with a blast from a gel-blaster water gun. Clearly, this calls for retribution by her father, so he shoots the guy with a handgun. The 18-year-old might be paralyzed for life. > **[Affidavit: Shooting at Goddard Walmart that left teen paralyzed started over...](https://www.kwch.com/2024/06/05/affidavit-shooting-goddard-walmart-that-left-teen-paralyzed-started-over-gel-blasters/)** > > A shooting that left a Haysville teenager paralyzed started with an incident involving gel blasters. ---

This story could go in many threads, but it involves a moronic Trump supporter using his god-given rights, so I think this is the best spot. This moron likes to livestream himself antagonizing homeless people and when things go badly, he shoots one. I don’t think he can Rittenhouse himself out of this. On the plus side, looks like he may finally get to move out of his parents basement. > **[Judge slams Coeur d'Alene man who livestreamed Second and Division shooting...](https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2024/jun/10/second-and-division-shooting-suspects-posts-video-/)** > > An Idaho man antagonizing people near Division Street and Second Avenue in Spokane as he streamed it live on his YouTube channel had multiple chances to leave before he shot and seriously injured a person Friday night during a confrontation,... ---

Charges were paraphrased as “shooting and injuring”. I wonder what the actual charge is. Seems like attempted murder to me. ---

Can you summarize what was relevant in that video? I see it is from the asshat that has found himself in jail but I refuse to watch his bullshit. Or, are you pointing out the irony of some other gun-loving nut pulling out their gat on him? This guy was out looking for trouble and it found him. As they say, fuck around and find out. ---

I didn’t see a gun filmed; I did see the Cam-Hole spouting out a lot of well-practiced phrases that did not match what he filmed (reality?). I don’t want the 1st Amendment to change… that said I’d love if it was ruled not to cover Cam-Holes intent on starting fights for their YouTube hits (income?). ---

I hope/expect he’ll spend enough time in the slammer to start dissuading others. Assholes Rittenhouse and Zimmerman have emboldened this type of behavior. ---

What moves it towards schadenfreude is that both the assholes you mentioned it benefited from no direct recordings of their actions, so they played the benefit of the doubt card _real_ hard. This asshat recorded the whole thing, and his claims don’t seem to match the evidence he himself provided… May all who proudly record themselves as evidence of their “bravery” also fall afoul of the law and as much jail time as our legal system allows. ---

> [@ParallelLines](#): > > May all who proudly record themselves as evidence of their “bravery” also fall afoul of the law and as much jail time as our legal system allows. The boundary between brave and stupid can be difficult to discern at times. But, I continue to contend that guns have a tendency to make people stupid, so if guns are involved, you can prettymuch count out the bravery part. ---

Trigger-happy bystander just looking for a reason shoots and kills a teenager returning a toy gun to a sporting goods store. The teen had set the toy down and was showing empty hands at the time he was shot. He shot the teen seven times in the back. He was charged with second-degree murder. He was an off-duty security guard, but not at the store where this occurred. > **[Off-duty guard charged with killing Seattle-area teen after mistaking toy for...](https://apnews.com/article/toy-gun-teen-killed-guard-charged-bbe66178f764d1b944fb40b3ff4a3452)** > > An off-duty security guard has been charged with second-degree murder by prosecutors who say that he fatally shot a 17-year-old six times in the back as the teen tried to return what the guard believed to be a firearm, but was actually a toy gun, to... ---

Is there an actual purpose to a bump stock? I mean, an authentic, reasonable purpose? I can only think of two (unreasonable) purposes: 1. It gives me a tickly feeling in my tummy to blast off a bunch of ammunition in a short time. 2. I would like to mass murder a bunch of people in a crowd. ---

It’s obvious, isn’t it! Bump stocks are required kit in a well regulated militia. Load the powder and shot in the muzzle, bump the stock on the ground and Bob’s your uncle. ---
