Stupid, stupid,stupid. Again someone dies from others stupidity.

I remember being taught that a bullet can have the same velocity as when it was fired if you shot it in the air during police training and could kill someone.

[txrefugee]

Mexicans think that a bullet fired into the air never comes down. Children in San Antonio have been killed by this ignorance on New Years Eve.

I’m absolutely appalled at the number of bullets that just wander off on their own and become strays. /s

Many years ago I had a neighbor who was an alcoholic and probably a drug user. Every New Years he’d come out at midnight and fire 6 .357 magnum rounds. I’d roll off the bed onto the floor as by that time he probably had a hard time knowing where up was. We were in the middle of St. Petersburg, Fl. I wonder how many roofs and cars developed .357 sized holes. (Idiot!)

Nothing can be a bigger monument to utter stupidity than ‘accidents’ like this yet you see it happen over and over. It is amazing to see the idiots in the Middle East tear off an AK47 clip and trust that Allah will kill only the ‘deserving!’

This guy got up yesterday morning, ate breakfast, went to work, talked about bowl games, texted with friends, and had no idea he'd die that evening because some idiot. He wasn't endangering himself or anyone else. Wasn't were he shouldn't be, but now he's dead.

I went outside last night at midnight in Detroit’s northern ‘burbs. It sounded like downtown Fallujah. I beat a hasty retreat.

Add this insanity to my list of reasons I moved out of the big city to the country. It could still happen here but the chances are so small as to approach nil. Besides, at my age, I was in bed asleep at midnight, reducing the risk even more.

Happy New Year!

[tflabo]

Idiots ruin the world.

Up`n here we throw squirrels up in the air at New Year’s Midnight. They land in the tree and throw acorns back at us.

[BobL]

The guys could have died in a car accident and no one would care. We have 320 Million people in this country. On any given day, at least 100 kids (probably a lot more) lose a parent to cancer...when you have a lot of people, you will have a lot of people dying young and needlessly.

Having said that, gun owners STILL need to be RESPONSIBLE and not be shooting off the damn thing into the air, in heavily populated areas, as somebody, eventually, will get hit.

[muir_redwoods]

I was told, at the age of nine, that I was responsible for a bullet until it stopped if I pulled the trigger. It’s a stretch, I know, but this sounds like manslaughter

[Hawthorn]

>> someone shot a gun in the air and the bullet came down <<

News scoop of the year?

[Scrambler Bob]

A stray?

Should have been nutered, then released.

[ought-six]

Mexicans have a love affair with shooting off firearms to celebrate something. Apparently the don’t understand the very basic principles of Newtonian Law.

I lived in Southern California many years ago, and I never wanted to be anywhere near where two or Mexicans gathered for some celebratory rite.

Very little science on this, though we can all agree stupid people breeding is a bad idea...

Sad. RIP.
