This is a different Real Big Man.

Well, this takes the wedding cake.

Be polite to your classmates.

Authorities say a 7-year-old boy was accidentally shot in a first-grade classroom by another student in Louisiana. Nobody else was wounded.

Calcasieu (KAL-kuh-shoo) Parish Sheriff Tony Mancuso said the boy was shot a few minutes before 8 a.m. Monday. Police said in a news release that the boy was in surgery.

Mancuso says the loaded gun fell out of a first-grader’s backpack in the classroom, where a second student picked it up. The sheriff says the gun went off by accident.

The story goes on to say that the children will not be charged because of their youth, but the Real Big Man (or Woman) who owns the piece may well be.

(If both kids had been packing, no doubt this would not have happened.)

Practice random acts of politeness.

Yet another Real Big Man.

And thus passeth another day in NRA Paradise.

This was done no doubt by a Real Big Man.

While being interviewed by the DHHS, the 11-year-old said he and his brother were shot because they failed to do their chores.

In an interview “Pelletier admitted to shooting the children not out of anger, but as a rite of passage to get their own BB guns and to know what it feels like getting hit so they won’t shoot other people,” state police said in the post.

Our whole damn country is suffering from lead poisoning.

After the accident, exchange insurance information politely.

“There was some sort of fender bender. (My) son tried to do the right thing and pulled over to see if they wanted to exchange information. (The) young lady decided to pull out (a) gun and start shooting at both of my sons,” Westervelt said.

Be polite at home.

Falmouth police say a 23-year-old man was taken to Maine Medical Center on Tuesday afternoon for treatment of a gunshot wound that he suffered when his handgun fired unintentionally.

I do not wish to sound like a quibbling old pedant (even though I am all three), but, as a handgun does not have consciousness, everything it does, it does “unintentionally.”

Without consciousness, there is no “intent.”

Methinks the wording of these reports should more accurately cast responsibility.

The hunt for politeness goes on.

The incident, which police are calling an accident, happened at about 6:30 a.m. near Pickup Hill Road. The teen was hunting on private property at the same time as second hunting party. The teen was shot in the torso by part of a round fired by another hunter, police said. He was taken to a local hospital.
