Here we go again: Deputies shoot, kill 13 year old with toy gun

[ceyko]

Where is 15 y/o coming from? Article says 13?

Either way, the article as usual is fairly vague. However, we can't assume he is innocent little Johnny walking around playing cowboys and indians. A lot of kids are off their rockers due to piss poor parenting.

Kids are gangs, nuts and so on.

Also, I remember having an m16 water gun. Shown at about 18 seconds...

...no orange tip.



I know it does not look 100% real, but it could be confused for a real gun. Much less how real they look these days and I would not doubt they'd remove/paint the orange tip. Hell, how much would anyone rely on the orange tip anyway?

Here's some pretty real looking fakes:

And I have seen some real guns that look fake as hell.

Bad deal indeed.

look at it a few times, the bad guy had pulled a gun out of his belt behind him, the cop in the rear saw it and yelled gun. you can see it in the guys hand. Think this is staged?

Happens all the time. Just like the case in question here. You'll have a hard time convincing me that the boy pointed a toy gun at the deputies.
