damn... that's horrible!
Quote from: The Happy Friar on October 27, 2008, 05:43:59 AMdamn... that's horrible!It's happening in an area where apparently it's acceptable to wave a handgun in the air. So I'm assuming that this crowd is in some way related to a militant faction of something. Plus this guy is stupid enough to hand a loaded gun to a 3 year old. Thank God that the idiot got shot and not the child. I still feel bad because the kid doesn't know what just happened, nor does he know what happened to his dad. I think that the saddest thing on earth is the Mercury Rising situation where a child, who both doesn't understand death and is 100% dependent on his parents, is faced with the loss of one.
BTW I didn't post this to mess up the humor vibe in this thread. My initial reaction when I saw it was humor. I've seen this custom in the arabic Middle East many times and always saw it as amazingly stupid and irresponsible. When Mr Macho man pulls out his gun (we all carry one, don't we?) and then hands it to his KID, I thought the outcome was true poetic justice. I had no idea the guy actually died from it. It looked to me like the shot "skinned" his stomach area. Makes you wonder why the cameraman didn't do something when he saw the kid holding the gun. My apologies if it went in an unintended direction.
