One of Murphy’s laws of combat: incoming fire has the right of way.

Brainwashed since birth, obviously.

Angry and hateful his entire life.

What a waste.

But he said the injury was just “small collateral for the battle we’re fighting,” according to the newspaper.

On what planet is losing the sight in one eye considered *collateral damage*?

Not in my world it isn't.

Radio news said he was hit by a ricocheting cannister as he was picking up one that landed near him to throw back at police

My sympathy meter must be on the fritz. It’s pegged out at 0

So they were picking up canisters to throw back at the police. How does he know it wasn’t one of his comrades who “deployed” it???

I could not care less. If he hadn’t been rioting trying to destroy someone else’s property......

Jack Elam is one of my favorites! But Elam was actually tough - this pantywaist is no Jack Elam.

The article says he goes to a technical school in Indiana. I wonder if he was a good “pupil.”

I’ll let myself out

Hope he keeps an eye out next time tear gas canisters come his way.
I’m here all week.

“Hopefully, he will see the error of his ways.”

No pun intended?
