THATS HORRIBLE

wtf, who would do that. a 21 year old kid killed a 9 year old! what would make someone do that to someone they probably didnt know...

"A 9-year-old Central El Paso boy has died after suffering serious injuries in a freak paintball gun accident." That isn't a freak accident, that was unintentional murder with a deadly weapon. You know, in California, paintball guns are considered a type of firearms for a reason. Some people just don't get it, though....

Hossy, they were the kid's cousins.

Not to flame, But why do you post these things? You and I both know (along with a lot of other people), That this stuff happens everyday, But why let everyone know about it? New people wanting to play paintball could come onto the boards and see this (along with their parents) and Then that would be another Mother/Father/Son that think Paintball is a bad sport..

Sorry if this offends you.. Don't post this ****..

[leed]

Of course, no one EVER get's mad about things when someone beats someone else to death with a BASEBALL bat...

We post this **** so morons and newbs who come here dont decide that it is a good idea to load blades, frozen paint, screw drivers, marbles, rocks, fireworks into their markers and shooting them at people...Seeing the effects of said events will more than likely give the easily influenced a mindset of what not to do. Rather than discourage them from playing.

Anysport can be dangerous...Hell golf can be deadly...But as long as you don't do stupid **** no one gets killed. So if one story like this keeps some person from shooting a nail or marble at me or you..Then keep posting them.

yeah and another reason would be so that we might find out the name of the person responsible...and maybe beat him with a teardrop barrel.

Keep posting this stuff; people need to be reminded how dangerous things can get when common sense and logic fall by the wayside. Sure it's tragic, & the sport just took another hit, but let's learn from it and be vigilant in our safety measures.
