Oh to be 17 and hit in the buttocks, right Cory?... ;-)

Serves 'em right, I say. Not that I condone killing the little person of questionable parentages, but maybe it'll be a little implied "advise" for his other friends whenever they see little Johnny try to sit down for the next couple of months...


: I saw this article and decided to pass it along: Another Dumb @$$$$ with a marker shooting up a neighborhood. Poetic Justice to the extreme:

:
: PITTSBURGH-August 13, 2003 — Two teens who drove around Pittsburgh shooting passers-by with paintball guns were shot with real bullets for apparently targeting the wrong group, police said.

: Tracey Smedley, 19, was treated at UPMC Presbyterian hospital's emergency room and released Tuesday, said spokeswoman Jocelyn Uhl. She could not provide a condition for an unidentified 17-year-old.

: Smedley, the 17-year-old and an 18-year-old man drove around a city neighborhood armed with paintball guns and wearing helmets and paintball vests, Pittsburgh police Lt. Philip Dacey said.

: During their drive, the teens pelted children at a playground and shot at another group down the street, Dacey said.

: When the teens turned around to tell the group on the street they were only shooting paintballs, someone returned fire with a gun, peppering the driver's side of the car with more than a dozen bullets, Dacey said.

: Smedley was shot in the left arm, while the 17-year-old was hit in the buttocks. The teens then drove themselves to the hospital, Dacey said.
