| A bullet fired in the air during a Ku Klux Klan initiation ceremony came down and struck a participant in the head, critically injuring him, authorities said. See, God does have a sense of humor. Gregory Allen Freeman, 45, was charged with aggravated assault and reckless endangerment in the Saturday night incident that wounded Jeffery S. Murr, 24. About 10 people, including two children, had gathered for the ceremony. How nice, they brought the kiddies. The man who was being initiated was blindfolded, tied with a noose to a tree and shot with paintball guns as Freeman fired a pistol in the air to provide the sound of real gunfire, Sheriff Fred Phillips said. A bullet struck Murr on the top of the head and exited at the bottom of his skull, authorities said. Hitting nothing vital, I’ll wager. |

| #4 SH - more likely a "Crime of Stupidity". Punishable by the laws of nature and the universe, even if sanctioned by government. |

| #3 I would need an attorney to know for sure, but I think this might be a hate crime. |

| #2 The brain would be so tiny that of course the bullet would miss! |
