I had to read that twice and then I had to check to make sure it wasn’t The Onion.
I wish I’d had a gun when I was a minor. It would’ve been super easy to score alcohol.

Me and my friends all had guns when I was a kid and those of us that survived turned out fine. WHATEVER HAPPENED TO PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY!?!?!?!

The owner of a stolen car fatally shot a 12-year-old boy in Denver after he found the child and others inside the vehicle, which he had tracked down using an app, the police said.
The man found the car on Sunday, approached the stopped vehicle and was “involved in an exchange of gunfire” with the people inside the car, the Denver Police Department said in a statement.
The 12-year-old then drove the car about two blocks, and was later found by police officers with a gunshot wound. It was not clear if the boy had been driving the car before the shooting. He was taken to Denver Health Medical Center and later pronounced dead, the police said.
The Denver Office of the Medical Examiner identified the boy as Elias Armstrong.
Maybe this is standard non-us speak, but using “tummy” here cracked me up. Like it perfectly infantalized this gun nut idiot.

I grew up in Omaha and there was a shooting about a week ago at a Target near where I grew up. I was looking up that article to show my girlfriend and saw there was a new shooting at a Chipotle in the same area just a couple days later. Almost getting to the point where it doesn’t feel safe going back to visit.
More likely to die driving there

You’re not getting any likes because that 12-year old shouldn’t have been stealing cars

Tough life. Apparently his Mother, sole parent in the home, was shot and killed at some point, and Elias sustained a gunshot wound during that event.
