Sometimes you just hve to scratch your head.
This is a tragedy, but leaves so many questions to ask, I could not imagine where to begin.

Manchester police told WCAX-TV that the two friends were staying at another friend's home Thursday. Police say 23-year-old Nicholas Bell of Manchester was hoping to play a prank on his friend and wake him up with an air gun.

But authorities say Bell ended up firing a shot from a loaded rifle into the chest of 24-year-old Jeffrey Charbonneau of Manchester, and he died

Stupid people, the world is infested with them.
"What the Hill were you thinking!" just doesn't seem to be enough...
Ever see that hunter training video.

"IT WAS ONLY A .22"

and the guy is dead in the woods.

Oh, ha ha, ... that would have been so funny ... shooting somebody with an air gun while they're sleeping. That's so much funnier that shaving cream or warm water.

I blame the parents. If they were going to feed him paint chips, they should have stuck with latex base.
That is a stupid prank.
What a tragic waste of life.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
One of the guys here has a sig that says it quite well that "against stupidity even gods struggle in vain".
So true!
coming soon to a state near you , NY Gun control !
I do not associate with people who don't practice total gun safety.

If it was a true Dawrin moment, the guy who pulled the trigger would have dropped dead -- not the slumbering friend. What a sad tragidy!
With any luck, Mr. Bell will not have a chance to procreate during his lifetime.
The stupid gene he's got should end with him.
And it's stuff like this that make it harder for the rest of us.
What an idiot.

Rant over.

No it's not... Natural selection would have killed the idiot, not the innocent sleeping friend....
oooo yea my bad, we will just have to assume that the kid that did the shooting will be going to prison where he will be (naturally selected) if you know what i mean hahah and the friend that got shot, all though it is a tragic accident, why would you hang out with someone who  planned on shooting you in the chest with a bb gun to wake you up

maybe the guy didnt say to him " hey im gonna shoot you in the chest to wake you up in the morning "
MMMMmmmm somehow i find it hard to think anyone I know would be that freeked in the brain to even think of a dumb donky thing like that.
Then,,, when the young think the movie "JACKASS" is somehow funny or entertaining, I could see some brain damaged(see under doped up) kid doing it to be "funny just like the movie.
To kill this guy with a 22 he pretty much had to shoot him in the head or heart, no?  heh  Who the hell would even do that with a pellet gun?????
