Hmmm, some “Second Amendment Remedies” are still frowned on:

A Kentucky man has been charged with attempted murder after he shot a 12-year-old boy in the back for ringing his doorbell during a game of Ding Dong Ditch.

Jason Eberle of Louisville, was playing the game, which involves someone ringing a doorbell and running away, on Monday night with friends. The New York Post reports that after the kids rang 56-year-old Michael Bishop’s bell he came out onto his porch armed with a shotgun and opened fire, hitting Eberle in the back and shoulder.

Bishop was arrested and has been charged with attempted murder. The Louisville Courier Journal reports that he was released Tuesday night after posting $10,000 bail.

Eberle was hit in the shoulder and the back and suffered two collapsed lungs in the incident. He is currently being treated in hospital where his condition is described as “improving”.

If you want to be amused (horrified?) surf to the article and read the “the brat had it coming” comments. No, I am not kidding; yeah the kid was acting like a brat and perhaps some sort of correction/punishment was appropriate. But maybe this guy went a wee bit overboard?

This reminds me of this scene from The Shining:

But hey, this guy was just using Biblical values to “correct” bratty kids:

The Bible says: Deuteronomy 21:18-21

“If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and, though they discipline him, will not listen to them, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city at the gate of the place where he lives, and they shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This our son is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.’ Then all the men of the city shall stone him to death with stones. So you shall purge the evil from your midst, and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

And if the little brats make fun of a balding man:

2 Kings 2:23-25:

23 From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!” 24 He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys. 25 And he went on to Mount Carmel and from there returned to Samaria.

Speaking of attitude:

Ok, so her butt has a misspelling (it is “silicone”):

Thin white spandex, attitude and dumb as a rock…I love it!
