The kid had it coming.
Like I crash tactled my house mate because he was being stupid with a his transformer megatron gernation 1 toy.
Like he snuck on me, pointed the barrel at my head and sead "Hey"
Minus the scope.
After crash tactling him and then realising that it was just his toy.
Then complained that it "Didn't I know it was a joke"
And then I told him, "The only thing I saw was a barrel of a gun pointed at my face at point place. Housemate, Freind or Complete Stranger off the street, I am not going to sit there and think whether or not it's a toy if the only thing in my face is a gun barrel."
Honestly, if some one is walking around with some thing that looks like a real gun, I am going to blame any one that take action against him. Whether that is some one calling the police. Or the police hitting them with gas granade or worse.
Once problem with CS Gas is that some people can have a nasty illergic reaction to it. And it not like Mr.SWAT officer is going to ask the guy with the gun if he is illergic to CS Gas because popping a grenade.
The kid's death is Darwimism In Action IMHO.
