@ElizabethD: I was trying to figure out how to get a solid "blame the victim" post out of this :) The best I could come up with was blaming him for being in new orleans in the first place.

What's really weird is that after it was reported locally, NPR picked it up, too. I guess this was "let's check back in on what's happening in New Orleans" week.

Oh wait -- were the long johns imprinted with a totenkopf?

The plot thickens!

Paul had obviously refused to show his Social Security card and was shot by the border patrol as a suspected illegal alien. Gotta be *his* fault for flouting national security.

@KyleOrton: If you shop at Best Buy you deserve to get any "whistley zing" sting that comes your way. He probably made a scene by talking to other customers, or trying to leave the store after buying something.

Are you sure this isn't a clever product placement for [www.seasonshot.com] ?

It's just a .22, we used to shoot them at each other trying to catch them in our teeth when we were kids.

guns don't kill people, people that get in the way of bullets kill themselves.

Someone who lived near the golf course must have been installing a satellite dish....

@Hossofcourse: If you can make to the punch line, that's freakin' hillarious.

The gun was fired by a dwarf who was mad that he was stopped and had to show his receipt when leaving Wal-Mart.

@valarmorghulis:
Isn't that the NRA's new slogan? "A Gun Can Be Fun!"

Kinda funny...kinda not at all 'Consumerist fare'...I'm kinda more pissed off than anything else that there are people out there doing stupid crap like not following firearm safety rules when they could have ended up as a perfectly good stain on somebody's jeans.

Pretty sure that's a run-on. Anyway, a gun can be fun, but that doesn't make it a toy. If you don't know how to use it, don't be and idiot and just put it down.

He needs to file a Chargeback with the shooter.

If Best Buy knew what was good for it, they'd send him a big fat gift card. Now THAT'S customer service!

Why is this here? Just a human interest story or something?
