Expose your progeny to politeness.

A 5-year-old boy has died after he accidentally shot himself with a family member’s gun Tuesday afternoon across the street from Florida Hospital East, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.

An Orange County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman said the boy’s father left him in the vehicle with access to the loaded gun while he went into Neighborhood Kids Academy preschool to pick up another child.

Afterthought:

I do not agree with those who complain that the press has not referred to the shooter as a “terrorist.” True, he created terror, but a “terrorist” is someone who uses terror to advance a cause.

As I write this, reports indicate that he appears to have been apolitical.

The only cause in which he was interested seems to have been ammosexual release.

Dick Polman comments on the latest mass shooting in the United States (follow the link for the rest):

I can’t precisely pinpoint when America fully surrendered to benumbed insanity, but I’ll put my money on Sandy Hook. Once we decided that even the slaughter of little suburban kids was acceptable collateral damage, we crossed the line and sold our souls. There is no going back.

Aside:

Speaking of the banality of evil, consider how blandly horrifying is the phrase, “the latest mass shooting.”

Politeness takes practice.

Deputies say an 8-year-old boy has died after being shot in the chest while family members were shooting tin cans at their home in Liberty County.

Expose children to politeness (emphasis added).

A 4-year-old boy is dead after accidentally shooting himself in the head Thursday afternoon, police have confirmed.

Captain Kevin Riley of the Parma Police Department says that it appears the boy gained possession of a gun that was inside the car and appears to have accidentally shot himself with it. Police believe that the shooting was an accident and no foul play is suspected.

“Gained possession of a gun” seems a somewhat convoluted way of saying “some jerk negligently left an unsecured firearm lying about.”

A polite society is a clean society.

An Apple Valley father apparently shot his 2-year-old daughter late Wednesday night when his gun discharged in what investigators described as a cleaning accident.

Investigators believe the girl’s father was downstairs cleaning a gun when it was negligently discharged and struck the girl in an upstairs bedroom.

Aside:

I doubt seriously that the gun “negligently discharged” itself.

Furrfu.

Expose the children to politeness.

Police say two young children were wounded in an apparently accidental shooting at a home that was being used for childcare in suburban Detroit.

Haddad says they were wounded by a gun that was kept in the Dearborn home, but there are “questions about who pulled the trigger.” The circumstances are under investigation.

Self-politeness is the politest kind.

Police said the man was in a truck parked in the 1000 block of East Center Street around 10:15 a.m. when he decided to disassemble a .45-caliber pistol. The gun had a round in the chamber and while the man was taking the firearm apart it discharged, wounding him in the leg, police said.

Demonstrate politeness to your progeny.

Deputies learned the father was in a bedroom and removed a rifle from a gun safe, removed the magazine, tried to eject a round and the gun went off, grazing the boy’s left arm and entering the left side of his chest and side area.

Guns and stupid.
Guns and stupid.
They go together
Like love and Cupid.

Robert Pickford thought the Ruger handgun was unloaded when he picked it up, pointed it in his best friend’s direction and squeezed the trigger, he told police.

He was wrong.

Give your family a treat of politeness.

A 4-year-old Florida girl died after accidentally pulling the trigger of a gun when she reached into her grandmother’s purse for candy.

Politeness is child’s play.

Police in Franklin County’s Madison Township were called to a home around 9 a.m. Sunday for a boy with a gunshot wound to the head. He was taken to a Columbus children’s hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Police say the boy’s father told officers he keeps a loaded gun in the kitchen.

Give politeness priority to promote proper parenting.

According to charging papers in court, the boy sustained the burns after his father shot him with “flaming pellets” from a fireworks gun.

The Morning New Tribune reported the boy’s mother took the child to a Tacoma hospital for the injuries July 6th. She told police that she’d heard a bang from a gun while she was in the shower and when she got out, the child had been injured and was screaming.

Practice random acts of politeness.

According to the girl’s father, the family was playing soccer at the park when the teenager was shot in the leg. The father declined to do an on-camera interview with KATV, but described the injury saying that a crossbow arrow that appears to be for deer hunting pierced the front of her leg, went through her shin and poked out through the back of her leg. The girl’s brother was standing right next to her when she was shot, according to the father.

If the young lady had been packing, no doubt this would not have happened.
