Mother Shot by Thug at Funeral of Son Shot by Police.

[RJ]

Yup, USA Today 3 hours ago:
The initial investigation suggests the shot was an accidental discharge from a gun carried by a 16-year-old attending the service, according to WKMG News 6, citing the Brevard County Sheriff's Office. The sheriff's office said the bullet penetrated the 16-year-old's leg and then struck Quasheda Pierce, WKMG reported.

How unfortunate for that ute. But that'd be an ND, no?

Haven't been over to Cocoa for a whle; the "Space Coast" is not exactly my favorite part of Florida. I mean it's not like say cracktown near E. Sunrise Blvd in Ft Lauderdale. I would not even get off I-95 at that exit. It's like driving into Detroit.

We should make it illegal for people under the age of 18 to conceal carry.

This just keeps getting further and further into the 'Can't make this shit up' zone.

how are the Babylon Bee and Onion still in business?

Side bar: I've never understood this fascination with ND vs AD. "Negligent" and "Accidental" describe different aspects and most of these usually fit both.

Accidental: happening by chance, unintentionally, or unexpectedly.
Negligent: failing to take proper care in doing something.

Firing into your own leg and then into a bystander was most like unintentional, unexpected, and done while failing to take proper care. Unless it was a P320 and he sneezed real hard or something. *ducks*

When I investigated those sorts of things, I standardized on UD, or Unintended Discharge, just to eliminate the semantic argument and to let the facts of the case speak to if they were negligent or not.

Carry on.

What's the difference between a Grammar Nazi and a Syntax Nazi? Is it like SS vs. SD? Or SA?

Amusing.

*checks to confirm this thread is in GD*

Well, the SD *was* an arm of the SS, IIRC, so maybe a Syntax Nazi only points out errors in certain parts of speech, whereas a Grammar Nazi is free to roam around and criticize the whole shebang?

No seriously, who's making this shit up?

The writers of The Shield

Especially with the news it was the result of a ND/AD/UD. That extra layer of WTF was right up their alley.

Does it really matter? It’s well known both groups are anti-Semantics...

Jeez really? That's kind of sad.

Granted my interest in the region begins and ends with Barbara Eden. But what I lack in variety, I make up for in dedication.


(yes, I know it wasn't shot there)
