Anonymous Coward User ID: 35058582 Germany 02/24/2013 02:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | He is going to be OK. It was a random shooting by unknown black males in a white car. My husband had taken our Chocolate Lab out for a quick walk in the alley before bedtime. A white car pulled up to him, the driver window went down, and my husband was shot 3 times with a BB gun. One BB went through his leather coat and got his upper arm. His arm is bruised and swollen. The police and the ambulance were here at my house. My husband, who has no medical insurance, declined treatment from the Paramedics. Quoting: tiger1 A few minutes after my husband was shot, there was another shooting not too far from here. This is crazy. To see my husband come in the door, out of breath, clutching his arm and saying he had been shot, was like something out of a movie. He was about 1/2 a block down in our alley when he got shot. My husband is physically disabled. He walks slowly, with a limp, and also has emphesema. I hope the police catch these punks. Well, at least they didn't shoot his eye out. I have a bb sitting at the back of my left eye socket. Kind of makes my vision poorly. Didn't do much for your English, either. |

Minor on the outside, but if we think about the possibilities of what could have gone wrong,,, we wouldnt be able to function... Dont pander him too much OP. Brush off the dirt, tend to his wounds, kiss him on the forehead and move on... |

We use to shoot each other with BB's as kids, but these were old BB rifles that would just leave a bruise. We didn't aim at each others heads [eyes] thank goodness! Todays BB guns are probably much more powerful. |

BoxerLvr User ID: 885750 Puerto Rico 02/24/2013 03:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | BB guns can shoot 450/fps and higher. No, it isn't a high power rifle but yes modern BB guns can cause serious damage so lay off the gal. Quoting: TDJ Someone she loves was assaulted so the weapon really isn't the point. The fact that it could have been much more serious has ran thru her mind and I think she has every right to be upset. If you don't like the thread just move on instead of being dicks about it. Gamo makes a spring loaded pellet rifle that goes 1600 fps. Search youtube. People use them to kill wild hogs. It is precisely because it is fashionable for Americans to know no science, even though they may be well educated otherwise, that they so easily fall prey to nonsense. They thus become part of the armies of the night, the purveyors of nitwittery, the retailers of intellectual junk food, the feeders on mental cardboard, for their ignorance keeps them from distinguishing nectar from sewage. — Isaac Asimov |

Munsoned User ID: 35022528 Dominican Republic 02/24/2013 03:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sorry a BB can hurt, but it must have scared the shit out of him. He probably thought he was gonna die. He could've had a heart attack. Fuckers do it with paintball guns too and film it. The victim thinks he got shot with a real gun. Quoting: Munsoned I am lucky he didn't go into a breathing attack. He was short of breath, but he maintained. Well god bless you guys, my wife want's to know if the dog is OK too.

ProNerd User ID: 13856469 United States 02/24/2013 03:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I to had BB gun fights as a child, with Red Ryder type lever action and some single slide pump action guns. We rarely had any bad injuries beyond a whelp here and there. That was 40+ years ago. I have a Gammo single stroke,barrel break, pellet rifle that shoots .177 pellets @ 1200fps and it will kill a person I have no doubt. $100 at Academy. |

We used to shoot cars with our BB guns when we were kids. Kids do dumb things. What was the point of mentioning they were black, where you going somewhere with that? Your husband got scared because of a BB gun!? We also used to have BB gun wars when we were LITTLE kids. I got shot 1/4" from my left eye once, last time I ever did that. My point is though, BBs arent really a threat, lol, unless you are shot in the EYEBALL. stupid mother fer bb guns ain't were they were years ago. in the right place can kill you. stupid |

Damn if that didn't sound exactly similar to the bullshit stories Israel tells about Palestine.. Over-dramatic nonsense.. Fuckin' Racist.. Didn't you see OP's earlier post? Theirs is a family of different races; it's not fair to say that about her. Her husband has an injury that, while it doesn't sound life threatening, is bound to be painful and could have been more serious. It certainly is traumatic for someone to drive up and shoot you. I'm sure you wouldn't think it was nonsense if it happened to you. But the response? "Those who live by the sword should die by the sword"? Sort of over the top, wouldnt you say? Maybe an assault charge, maybe a stern talk to their parents?But death? Come on! The exact quote by OP didn't have the word "should" in it. I've always interpreted that saying to mean that those who live by the sword will, or likely will, die by the sword. And it does seem logical to predict that sooner or later somebody's going to shoot back at the perpetrators if they keep shooting people.
