You guys don't read well and you exaggerate

In Response To: Re: .... It was a BB Gun... just saying (Eagles)

It wouldn't sound nearly as dramatic if it was titled 'Man wearing Obama t-shirt shot with BB Gun', now would it? In fact they further dramatize calling it a "gas-powered ball-bearing pistol".

Remember when kids rode bikes without helmets? Roller skated without padding, played with BB guns and sometimes got shot with them? When the most common warning was 'don't run with scissors in your hand or a pencil in your mouth'?

Maybe not.

To repeat: It was wrong to act out in this manner and I feel for the terrified man
