Not mine. I hope they fry the two stupid bastards who thought it was a good idea to crank off 9mm rounds over water.

They both deserve at least 10 years in prison.

I'm sick of idiotic @$$hat cops getting off with slaps on the wrist for killing civilians 'accidentally'.

There are no 'accidents' with firearms. Barring a mechanical failure, not even alleged in this incident btw, there are only intentional and negligent discharges.

This was a case of absolute bone headed wreckless disregard for the safety of the public.

If some flatfoot did this to my kid he'd never live to see a trial.

While I agree with many of your sentiments, I’m still stuck waaaay back at the beginning of this situation:

What is there about a snake in a birdhouse that a) motivates someone to call the police, b) motivates the police to dispatch someone to the scene, and c) then motivates a police officer to discharge his weapon, regardless of the type of ammo used, direction of discharge, etc, etc.

See, I’m just not “getting” where this was a situation that required police involvement, and even if the person making the call to the police thought this required police involvement, I’m still completely clueless as to why a snake in a birdhouse would merit police involvement.
