Not an earth shattering news story, but I figured somebody else out there needed this visual tonight.

Beats the heck out of, "Hey you kids! Get off my lawn!!!"

Give a stupid man a gun and he’ll make stupid decisions about shooting someone...

They ought to train people about the *reasons* why one might shoot someone... LOL...

Short fuse, must have been a liberal in need of some gun control.

If you choose not to offer help and sympathy to someone who stumbles that is your choice. If you choose to laugh at them bear in mind that they might make it your last laugh.

As wrong as this is, I’ll bet they quit laughing pretty quick.

(chuckle!)

Somehow you Yanks need to arrive at a reasonable balance: how to make sure those folk who are smart enough to carry guns can always do so without government interference, balanced against keeping guns out of the hands of knuckleheads and crims.

This story tells me you ain’t got that balance quite right yet. But it was Hell Funny all the same!

The only thing wrong was the usual problem, not everyone was armed. If the laughers had been carrying, the falling guy would have been ventilated, and righfully so.

Ah, frontier justice!

There isn’t much info re the injury. A gun shot in the ankle could due some serious damage. It gets little more than a passing comment in the article. Could be a kid with a pellet gun.

So much for laughing at the so called banana peel fall.

How funny would it have been if the gun went off and he castrated himself when he slipped?

Comedy Gold!

Some people really need to learn the Candid Camera theme song.

It’s fun to laugh at yourself. It’s a tonic, tried and true.
It’s fun to laugh at yourself as other people do.

As a gun owner, at least I have a sense of humor!

Shoot someone over a bad joke on me? Damn, the body count would've been horrendous by now!

True humor is the ability to laugh at ones self

Now, to see that wrecked ankle guy try and walk away on the ice would have been hilarious.

Lesson?

Be careful what you say and do. Not everyone sees humor in the pain and bad fortune of themselves or others.
