In reply to the discussion: Parents of girl with uzi did ignored instructor as he lay with mortal head wound [View all]TorchTheWitch
(11,065 posts)I read an article recently about the court case which settled for some undisclosed amount with video of the father crying as he gave his testimony. What bothered me so much about the father is that it was HIM that wanted his son to shoot the gun so he could take pictures while it was pretty clear in the video of the incident he didn't want to do and was nervous.
I noticed the same thing about this little girl. She looked like she was scared and didn't want to shoot the gun at all. I also believe she was pressured into doing it by her parents. You have to wonder about what goes on in their heads to even take their kid to a place like that.
Burgers and Bullets seemed to be the new Barbecue and Pony Rides. That all by itself is really disturbing. Seeing a little girl in pigtails shooting an Uzi at a human silhouette target was disturbing as hell to see as if it's a little girl in pigtails walking around in a circle on a pony. What the fuck are we teaching our kids with this madness???? And now gun shows are being called gun "fairs" as if there's going to be cotton candy and a ferris wheel. The whole concept of these places deliberately setting up "entertainment" for the little ones by having them shoot at human silhouette targets is unfathomable indeed.
