Santa Just Shot by Pellet Gun in Southeast D.C.

Posted on 12/24/2013 9:04:50 AM PST by conservaterian

Just saw this on local D.C. news..they even had it on video. Unbelievable, he was there for a toy give-away when he was shot.

It was Southeast DC. I’m thinking maybe he was in the wrong neighborhood to be wearing red.

Perhaps he was shot by someone who thinks only the government should be providing “charity”.

My brother shot me in the ass like the Waco Kid with a pellet gun when we were kids. It stung like hell and broke the skin but i didn’t cry like a little bitch over it. Good God is he ginning this up for a Workman’s Comp Claim? An Acadamy award?

thanks— I used to write songs back in the younger days. just some leftover dusty rusty comes bubbling out now and again—mostly of the ridiculous kind.

You can hear a group of kids laughing right after Santa gets shot.

If the Kenyan finds out Santa is giving away coal he’ll sik the EPA on him and shut down the whole cross-border toy give-away. Just can’t have coal-—and oil-—coming in across the northern border, doncha know?

No kidding. Man was that some crybaby.

When I gave my kids their first pellet gun, I intentionally shot myself in the forearm to show them that this was not a toy, that it was not to be used on each other, etc. Yes it stung and broke the skin and bleed a little. But that was a point blank bare skin shot.

I had the same thought.

Sorry to see the guy shot like that. The guy was out trying to do a good thing, and then this.

Like your ID-—I’ve said for quite some time the party should be called CONSERVACAN. Make it out of what’s left of the republicans and actual conservatives.

Well the pellets that come out of my pellet gun travel at 1000fps and will punch a hole in a 3/4 inch pine board.

If there is any place in America that typifies the “Two Americas” meme, it’s DC.

Are you sure you aren't thinking of BB guns. The pellet guns I am familiar with can kill you. I have one that will go through a one inch pine board.

Nope Pellet. 50 years later that cute dimple in my left cheek from the hollow point reminds me of the day!! LOL

You can kill small critters with a .177 pellet gun. They can be pretty accurate. If it was Co2 or pumped up, it could be almost as bad as a .22 short.

When I was young, my no-mind brother pumped up a bb rifle, put it to my side, and pulled the trigger. I still have the mark 51 years later. I think he's still wearing the marks where our father taught him that what he did was a no-no...

“...it was sort of funny when he was saying Oh! Oh! Oh! instead of Ho! Ho! Ho! in the video.”

Pretty funny he had a pellet in his back?

No, the way he said Oh Oh Oh, instead of Ho Ho Ho, just like I said. Don’t put words into my mouth that I didn’t say.

My Daisy .177 shoots at 750 feet per second. It buries itself about 1/4 inch into a typical treated wood fence post at 40 feet.

And it’s a cheap pellet gun.
