TACOMA A 16-year-old boy’s plan to rob a pot dealer went awry Friday when he accidentally shot himself in the groin, court documents say.
Police responded to a 9:18 p.m. 911 report of someone screaming that they had shot themselves at 9330 59th Ave. SE in Lakewood, Wash., the records state.
Officers found the teenager with a gunshot wound through his left groin and left buttocks, and a robber mask nearby.
The teenager was taken to Madigan Army Medical Center at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, where a seven-hour operation repaired a fractured pelvis, fractured femur and severely damaged femoral artery, records state.
The teenager is being held on suspicion of committing first-degree robbery with a firearm sentencing enhancement and unlawful possession of a firearm.
“Armed robbery? Of a pot dealer? In a state where pot is legal?”
We have been repeatedly told by the dope heads that with pot legalized, all crime associated with it will disappear.
Bong heads wrong again
And poor trigger discipline.
I laugh at this idiot criminal’s pain.
The little jerk is lucky to be alive.
With a fractured femur he is still at some risk of throwing an embolism and taking the dirt nap.
I’m amazed at how rare this is with holsterless carry by morons. I hope “Stumpy” did enough damage to make the Darwin list, but it would be nice if he learned from this and became a productive citizen.
**if he learned from this and became a productive citizen.**
Sounds like he just missed becoming a non-reproductive citizen.
After a 9 mm to the groin, he may find that his remaining nine millimeters are not enough to be a reproductive citizen.
That’s gotta hurt.
This might be a sign that he should give up his life of crime.
Hit a femoral artery; he almost did exsanguinate.
I'd bet 10 to 1 that he was not using a holster, but just stuck it in his pants. Complete idiots.
Yep. These thugs know nothing about how to carry a gun, and they waste their money on gold teeth and spend none on holsters.
And by the way, according to Federal gun laws, if you deal in or smoke pot, you are not a legal possessor of any gun.
On the bright side, when he demands free gender reassignment in prison he’s halfway there.
Liquor stores get knocked over all the time in states where alcohol is legal. Any cash business is subject to armed robbery.
If you're OK with it constitutionally, why can't fedgov do the same with people who use alcohol?
