Pie™ Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 Well, even though shooting the kid is obviously going too far, they were basically asking for getting their asses kicked. The lesson of today is "Don't be an idiot, you might get shot".
Mike Windu Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 A very true lesson indeed. *eggs Pie's vehicle*
Rogue Nine Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 I have very little sympathy for teenagers with no common decency. It's sad he had to die, but perhaps he'll serve as an example to his friends. Just goes to show that being a sophomoric idiot gets you nowhere.
Jeff Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 Indeed. I had a few friends that got arrested for egging a police car (!), they didn't know it was a police car when they did it, it's the same lesson, just less harsh.
IG-64 Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 ... He was shot for throwing an egg at a car. :| -_-
Commander Obi-Wan Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 You live and learn....well, in this case he didn't. But over egging a car?
Spider AL Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Well, the reason egging a car is serious, is because it can cause the driver to lose control and crash. So it's no laughing matter to throw an egg at a car. It can be lethal. Of course, you can't kill someone for endangering your life AFTER the fact. Sounds like the shooter had stolen the SUV? Says something about the car being abandoned nearby... They could have egged a car full of angry guys and gotten a beating... but they egged a car with a scummy criminal gunman in it, and got shot. Unlucky.
jebbers Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 http://www.urbanlinkz.com/rides/urbcar312.jpg unless the kid egged a suv like this...
BongoBob Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Sucks that he died, but it was dumb as hell for him to do it. Before we moved, our downstairs neighbors kids egged our car. So we told the parents, and they did nothing about it. They just went "So?". So the next day, one of my friends egged their car, and I knocked on the door and said "You son missed ours this time." We didn't see him for at least two weeks.
swphreak Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Yeah, that's what you get for doing stupid things. You have no idea what people will do. For all they knew, one of the cars they hit could have been full of gang members or something. Oh wait, it was. Intelligence: 0 Dumbasses: 1
MrWally Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 It's possible he may have just been shooting to scare them off or intimidate them? Then when he realized he had accidentally killed one of the kids he freaked out and ran off.
Sabretooth Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Now the kid was pretty stupid and deserved a good beating, but the shooting went a little too far. Whoever was in the car must have been one hell of a pissed off dude.
Lynk Former Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Oh yeah... North Carolina deputy kills suspected PS3 thief and his dog http://www.joystiq.com/2006/12/03/north-carolina-deputy-kills-suspected-ps3-thief-and-his-dog/
jon_hill987 Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 SUV drivers should all be punished themselves, f***ing up the environment for the rest of us. Maybe Greenpeace should start egging SUVs. EDIT: I just mean SUV drivers who don't need one, you know the sort that get a disco for the school run.

I hate cops. they think they have a license to kill. just awhile ago, a (black) kid in L.A. was shot 50 times the night before his wedding for, i forget, but, he was unarmed and i think was innocent or something.

The dog was a German Shepherd... that's a big dog. There's a strong possibility that the dog was acting aggressively towards the cop before the cop shot it. And the owner... he was suspected of armed robbery. So it's not so clear cut a situation as it first appears. I heard about the kid in L.A. He wasn't shot fifty times, five officers fired fifty rounds. I think they hit several people including this kid who died. But the car the kid was in had just run over a policeman... so once again, not so clear-cut anymore. Both cases need to have the officers involved taken out of circulation though. It's not the clear-cut case of "insane triggerhappy cops" that the press have made out... but it's certainly excessive force.

DarthAve Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 This happened right down in Columbus. O.O The Model U.N. kids are going down there Thursday. O.O Let's hope they're on a short leash. We don't want none of our smart kids getting shot after some shanagins in the ghetto's of Columbus. Especially hot choir kid.
narfblat Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 *Eggs Mike's mom's SUV* My brother was driving me somewhere when his car was egged by a driver/passenger of a car goin the opposite direction. It didn't ruin the paint though - it went through the open driver's-side window and made a mess at the rear window. It took us a second to figure out what the heck it was. It wasn't fun to clean up, but I guess that's better than having to fix a paint job.
TK-8252 Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Meh, as unfortunant as it was that he was killed, I have no sympathy for stupid. I hate annoying little ****s like that kid. Maybe a nice ass-kicking would have served a better lesson.
Vikinor Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Sucks that the kid got shot, but you have to remember there are a lot of stupid people in the world. Hell, you could be criticizing something for being stupid then do something else that is just as stupid.
igyman Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 I can't believe some of the comments posted here. People, he was a kid, kids do stupid things and anyone who says ''he did a stupid thing and got shot'' or ''sucks that he was shot but he was stupid to do that'' is more stupid than that poor kid. Only murderers deserve to be shot and even them only in self-defence. In my opinion, the idiot was the guy who shot the kid, not the kid himself, the kid was simply being a kid.
