#1 Well, if Obama would only ban BB guns, this might have been avoided!

Yes, that's sarcasm, but I wonder if the second amendment covers BB guns? I suppose it should.

#3 It was not immediately clear how many times the man was shot.

They ran out of fingers and toes. Or, maybe it's more like how do you count the holes in a colander?

#9 So now it's a crime to take pictures of schools?

Definitely suspicious, especially while carrying a gun. They couldn't tell it was just a BB gun when he was running away from them. If you don't wanna get shot, don't run and don't resist arrest. Works for white folks the same as blacks except for the rioting.
