Girl Mistaken For Skunk, Shot
(CNN) — A little girl was fighting for her life early Monday after she was shot outside a Halloween party…


Police in western Pennsylvania’s New Sewickley Township said the 9-year-old girl was dressed in black with a black hat for the Saturday evening party.

[Mr. H.]

Damn Republicans.

 

[Noomi]

Whoever shot her is a total dumb fuck. What sort of dickhead gets his gun out on Halloween anyway?
Its about time these irresponsible gun owners were taken to task.

 

[whitehall]

The whole scenario doesn't make much sense. Do people in that part of Pennsylvania stand outside with shotguns waiting for skunks to appear?

 

[koshergrl]

Uh...it's not halloween yet.

I smell a skunk.

 

[del]

Uh...it's not halloween yet.

I smell a skunk.

Evidently, dumb fuck dickhead Republicans...

Yep republicans accross america are watching out their front window with a cocked gun at hand.

I wonder how many trick or treaters they will kill?

I think the shooter was skunked when they pulled the trigger...

 

[Mr. H.]

I once shot at a raccoon that was big as a little girl. Damn thing just got done eating two of our chickens.

 

[Noomi]

Uh...it's not halloween yet.

I smell a skunk.

Oh, oops. You are right. Just that with all the stuff in stores for Halloween, I had though it would have been over already.

 

[Connery]

There is something wrong here this story smells to high heaven.

 

[Politico]

Hopefully the fact he was discharging a firearm illegally will give them lots of crap to charge him with.

 

[Franticfrank]

He should be damned ashamed of himself - and maybe banned from hunting.

 

[AmyNation]

Wow.

What kind of idiot brings out his gun during a Halloween party?

 

[Grandma]

The whole scenario doesn't make much sense. Do people in that part of Pennsylvania stand outside with shotguns waiting for skunks to appear?

Yes. Yes they do.

I am a strong believer in the right to keep and bear arms, but this is insane. Here is the part of the article that makes me angry:

“It was past 8 p.m. and the sun had long set. A relative spotted the dark figure in the distance, mistook it for a skunk and fired his shotgun, said Officer Greg Carney with the township police.”

Shooting at night is a dangerous matter in itself. Shooting at a distance at night is even more dangerous since visibility is not optimal and something or someone else could be in the line of fire, especially considering that a shooter's aim is not always perfect. The fact the shooter mistook the child for a skunk is conclusive proof he was much too far away to shoot. Finally, using a shot gun which has a much wider impact area than a rifle is even more stupid; hell, it's insane.

The shooter was an idiot. If his actions are not criminal, there is something wrong with the law. There is no way this can be passed off as a mere accident. There has to be some type of criminal negligence involved.

I just hope the little girl pulls through.

Can't have those Romney/Ryan signs disturbed.
