Boy, 11, shot in head with air rifle after climbing fence to find his football

1. Given that the police haven’t identified a suspect, I’m guessing it wasn’t the owner of the property that the boy entered. So could have been a stray pellet rather than a deliberate attack.

   Hope the kid pulls through and that whoever is responsible has the book thrown at them.

2. Knocking on the door of the house whose garden it is seems to be a neglected option for many.

   I know I’d prefer that slight annoyance rather than suddenly find someone climbing over a non-loadbearing fence and dropping to my garden uninvited.

   Although shooting them in the head seems a little bit excessive.

3. Should be ok from an air rifle? Hope it didn’t get eye or kneck poor kid

4. No doubt the shooter claims *karsul dawcrtrun* and that he was in *firravislahf*.

   We’re turning into a shit version of the US.

5. Neighbourhood vigilante has finally had enough of kids running wild through people’s gardens.

6. ITT: I would have been shot a fucking hundred times as a kid if given the wishes of the anti-social website

7. Thinking on the bright side, the parents will watch the kids closer now and maybe encourage them not to climb and break fences.

   These overpowered air/gas guns are too easy to come by.
