"A St. Lucie County man has been accused of trying to teach a boy a lesson by shooting him with a pellet gun.Well hey - did anyone watch the pilot of "Modern Family"? This was so the scene -- the father had to shoot his son with the BB gun because he had shot someone else with it ....
According to a St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office arrest report, 39-year-old Christopher Fred Cady shot the boy in the chest with the pellet gun, a Christmas gift, after the child shot an autistic cousin with the gun.
Cady reportedly was trying to show the boy that getting shot with a pellet gun can hurt."
Do I support the action -- oh hell no! I think any one who buys their kid a BB or pellet gun before they are 14 or 15yrs old and trained to use it, should be lined up in front of a firing squad armed with paint ball guns (oh that is another one people shouldn't get their kids) ....
BUT --- I can see where someone would think it was acceptable by seeing it on the tv without any consequences for the action being shown.
And no - I am far from being a liberal ... so that's not it.
I just think people are stupid and that they are idiotic enough to go -- 'good idea'.
after all that's how we got the "Memory Wall" (where the kids go to remember to do what we ask) ... which has morphed into "The Chair of Contemplation" at the cabin -- its the chair where the kids can't see the tv screen (ooooo, torture for a kid)!
