My two youngest last May. We were doing some clothes shopping for a banquet.

I had them don some "America, fuck yeah!!!" apparel under guise of wanting to send the pic to their mom, who really, really hates that shit. Never sent, but I have blackmail material and Surly fodder.

Don't only bring a nerf gun to a nerf gun flight. This is a real America, Fuck Yeah! story.

Fucking tragic except stupid shit with guns happens pretty much everyday. In what other country would a teenager 1. have free access to a hand gun and 2. pull it out during nerf gun fight to "look cool". Porn corrupts the mind and must be banned but guns are symbols of mah freedum. Fucking pathetic.

PHOENIX — A 13-year-old boy was fatally shot Sunday in Phoenix after a young man pulled out a firearm while playing with toy guns, police said. 

Earlric Reynolds sustained a fatal gunshot wound while he and Adolfo Villalva, 18, were playing with Nerf guns yesterday afternoon near 7th Avenue and Hatcher Road.

Villalva allegedly told police he pulled out a real gun during the game and mistakenly fired the weapon at the 13-year-old, police said. Villalva and others then moved Reynolds to the apartment complex's parking lot and Villalva hid the firearm before officers arrived on scene. 

Reynolds later died at the hospital. 

Court records show Villalva allegedly told investigators his mother keeps a gun under the seat of her car. The teenager allegedly took the gun and placed it in his pocket because it "looked cool."

Villalva indicated he was handling the Nerf toy gun and the real gun at the same time while playing around with Reynolds. While pointing both objects at the 13-year-old, Villalva said he pulled what he thought was the toy's trigger but actually pulled the firearm's trigger.

Police have taken Villalva into custody and he's facing charges of manslaughter and evidence tampering.

So the other guy literally brought a knerf to a gun fight?  

We have a neighbor who wouldn't let their kids buy Nerf guns until they were like 10+, but they own multiple semi-automatic rifles and I know they don't secure them properly all the time.  

did I miss a meeting?

The end result of this will clearly be a ban on all Nerf guns.

Now is not the time to talk about Nerf Gun Laws!  

First-person shooter video games, violent rap lyrics about capping people, and nerf gun battles are the main causes of real life gun violence among young people.  Therefore they must be banned so our children won't have access to them.  

My logic is as air-tight as my Nerf Blaster XR2300.

21-year-old skier dies in 'high-risk' stunt trying to jump over US highway

Investigators say he 'unfortunately lacked the necessary speed and distance.'

A 21-year-old man has died while attempting to perform a “high-risk skiing stunt” trying to jump the width of a U.S. highway in Colorado, authorities say.

The incident occurred on Tuesday at approximately 3 p.m. when the Grand County Communications Center in Colorado received a 911 call regarding a skiing accident on Highway 40, just west of Berthoud Pass Summit about reports of a 21-year-old male skier who was found “unconscious and not breathing,” according to a statement from the Grand County Sheriff’s Office released on Wednesday.

“The preliminary investigation revealed that the victim was attempting to perform a high-risk skiing stunt by trying to clear the width of Highway 40 and unfortunately lacked the necessary speed and distance and subsequently landed on the highway pavement,” authorities said. “The victim had been wearing a helmet and other protective gear.”

Astrology "Influencer". That's all you need know. BAT.SHIT.CRAZY.

https://www.9news.com.au/world/eclipse-mom-who-threw-2-kids-onto-la-freeway-killing-her-infant-appeared-agitated-by-impending-eclipse/05d6526c-23c9-40e0-8cee-dfaa21f999b3

Los Angeles police believe Danielle Cherakiyah Johnson, 34, posted on X as an astrology influencer and recording artist with the moniker "Ayoka," in the days leading up to the violence, which began hours before the eclipse peaked in Southern California, Lieutenant Guy Golan said.

While detectives have reviewed Johnson's posts, police are not considering the eclipse to be a precipitating or contributing factor to the slayings "because we just don't know why she did what she did," Golan told The Associated Press.

The Los Angeles Times first reported on Johnson's social media activities in connection with the killings.

"Get your protection on and your heart in the right place," she posted April 4 to more than 105,000 followers on X.

"The world is very obviously changing right now and if you ever needed to pick a side, the time to do right in your life is now. Stay strong you got this."

On April 5, she posted in all caps, "Wake up wake up the apocalypse is here. Everyone who has ears listen. Your time to choose what you believe is now."

Her social media also included a mix of antisemitic screeds, conspiracy theories about vaccines and warnings about the end of the world alongside astrological predictions and positive affirmations.

Also on April 5, she posted the word "LOVE" dozens of times.

Her personal website offers a variety of services including "zodiac healing work," "alcohol balancing system" and an "aura cleanse".

Holy fucking shit!!!!! Only in America. Texas represent! 

7 yr old, at the time, kid shoots sleeping man just because.

 

https://www.statesman.com/story/news/state/2024/04/22/texas-boy-fatally-shot-man-2022-gonzales-county-brandon-oquinn-rasberry/73410822007/

According to the Gonzales County sheriff's office, the child's confession came after officials in the Nixon-Smiley Consolidated Independent School District said the boy had referenced the killing and made new threats. That's when school officials involved law enforcement officers, who interviewed the boy at a child advocacy center.

“During the interview the ten year old child described in detail that two years ago he shot and killed a man in a trailer in Nixon, Texas,” a sheriff’s office release said. 

Brandon O'Quinn Rasberry, 32, died in his RV home in Nixon after being fatally shot on Jan. 18, 2022. Until last week, the case had gone cold. But now the 10-year-old child has provided law enforcement with more details about the crime he claims to have committed.

The boy told law officers he didn’t know Rasberry and was not angry at him at the time of the shooting. He was visiting his grandfather at the mobile home park, according to the sheriff’s office, and grabbed a gun from his grandfather’s truck.

“The Child stated he observed Brandon sleeping in his bed and approached Brandon and discharged the firearm into Brandon striking him one time in the head,” the release said. “The child stated as he was leaving the RV he discharged the firearm another time into the couch inside the RV.” 

Law enforcement later retrieved the gun from a pawn shop as evidence and collected shell casings from the mobile home park. The boy has undergone mental health evaluation and treatment, according to the sheriff's office.

 

“At the time of the murder the juvenile suspect was seven years old, one week shy of his 8th birthday,” the release said. “Therefore charges for murder will not be filed.”

However, authorities have charged the child in connection with a recent incident in which he is accused of threatening another student. The sheriff's office said that threat soon spiraled into the confession to killing Rasberry.

According to the confession, the boy had no known reason to kill Rasberry.

"The child was also asked if he was mad at Brandon for some reason or if Brandon had ever done anything to him to make him mad, the child stated no," the release said.

This dude had himself a night.

 

https://sentinelcolorado.com/metro/aurora-man-guilty-of-pulling-gun-on-burger-king-worker-who-refused-drugs-as-payment/

An Aurora man faces more than 400 years in prison after embarking on a late-night crime spree that began when he pulled a gun in a Burger King drive-thru after an employee refused payment in the form of drugs — possibly methamphetamine.

Eugene Robertson, 40, would go on to fire multiple shots and narrowly avoid being shot himself during the series of bizarre confrontations that he instigated on the night of Oct. 17, 2022, according to an arrest affidavit prepared by Aurora police.

Robertson was found guilty April 12 of eight counts of attempted first-degree murder with extreme indifference, four counts of menacing using a firearm and two counts of reckless endangerment as well as single counts of illegally discharging a firearm, possession of methamphetamine and harassment.

The employee of the Burger King near Alameda Avenue and Buckley Road told police he believed he was going to be shot and killed after turning down Robertson’s offer of a baggie of drugs. Instead, Robertson drove away and pulled up to the 7-Eleven at the northwest corner of the intersection.

DA’s office spokesman Eric Ross wrote in an email that a baggie dropped by Robertson at the 7-Eleven and recovered by police, which contained about 5 grams of methamphetamine, resembled the baggie described by the drive-thru worker.

A witness later told police that, when Robertson entered the 7-Eleven, there seemed to be “something off” about him, and that Robertson was “talking about God” and carrying a Bible with a purple cover.

Robertson and the witness got into an argument, and Robertson again drew his handgun and pointed it at the head of a store employee. Robertson then shot a television screen that was displaying surveillance camera footage of the inside of the store.

The witness ran out through a side door and retrieved his own handgun from his car. When Robertson walked outside, he started shooting at the witness, who returned fire.

Following the brief gun battle, during which neither man was hit, Robertson fled the scene.

About 15 minutes after responding to the 7-Eleven shooting and less than an hour after they were called out to the Burger King, Aurora police officers were dispatched to yet another 911 call involving Robertson, this time from a woman who reported that her friend, “Eugene,” had just shot at her apartment.

The woman said Robertson knocked on her front door, and when she refused to open it, fired at the door twice. He also shot once through a sliding glass door into the woman’s apartment, where multiple people were present.

Robertson lived in the same apartment complex, which is located less than a mile from Alameda and Buckley. Officers found the Audi that witnesses had said was involved in the two previous incidents parked nearby.

While investigating the shooting at the complex, police spotted Robertson, who tried to escape on foot by running through a bush. When he emerged from the bush, an officer shot at him and missed. Robertson was then arrested.

“During his arrest, Eugene said he was not physically hurt, but his ‘feelings were hurt,’” the affidavit said.

Officers also learned that Robertson had an outstanding warrant in connection with a March 2021 case where Robertson was allegedly involved in a vehicle crash and shooting, fled the scene, removed or lost his pants and flagged down an Aurora police officer, who arrested him on suspicion of illegally possessing a firearm.

Police wrote in the arrest affidavit associated with that case that Robertson said he had consumed marijuana and alcohol prior to encountering officers, which would have been a violation of a prior Arapahoe County court order.

“Robertson also spontaneously uttered that he was wearing white Nike tennis shoes and blue jeans prior to our arrival,” the 2021 affidavit says.

The same affidavit mentions that Robertson had previously served an 84-month sentence for felony distribution of crack cocaine, making it illegal for him to possess a firearm.

Robertson’s 2021 case remains open, while his sentencing for the recent convictions is scheduled to take place Aug. 9.

“It’s a miracle no one was seriously hurt or killed,” prosecutor Taylor McCreary said in the Thursday news release from the DA’s office.

“This defendant endangered countless lives that night by recklessly firing a gun.”

I have a buddy that is a big time hunter. Been all over the world killing critters and was even on ESPNoutdoors back when that was a thing on Saturday mornings. He has a large social media following so he does Q&A’s on Instagram periodically. Someone asked what sidearm he would recommend for hunting in bear country, and his reply was hilarious and true: whichever gun you want to commit suicide with because you can empty the mag and all you’re gonna do is piss that bear off.

That’s why you use a revolver lol.

He’s giving bad advice.
