This .... 30 people happy stand and watch a man getting shot ... and then getting upset ... when he got shot.

If the girlfriend is being charged for manslaughter, the witnesses ought to be charged as accessories. Except the kid, obviously, who needs to be removed as far as possible from that toxic environment.

They'd already had a child (and another on the way) so he didn't qualify.

Compared to other countries with a similar level of development the US has the highest gun related deaths. Detroit has a similar level to El Salvador. Unfortunately they don't see the problem.
I post on another forum where most are from the US. If you so much as suggest they need to restrict gun ownership the abuse is astounding. Not a place I'd care to live.
It is in the DNA. To question it is to be un-American.

However ill-advised and reckless the actions of those involved someone has lost their life, someone has lost their partner, others have lost their son. Yet another someone has lost their brother and 2 children will grow up without their father.

The fact the dead man acted in foolish way which contributed to his death will neither be lost on those he left behind, nor lessen their grief. Perhaps, therefore, a little respect for their feelings are warranted?

There's something very fishy about this story.

What are the chances of getting the 32 stupidest people in America together in one place to take part in this supposed prank with live ammo, and large calibre at that?

Normally I'd agree but it's been widely reported by reputable news outlets. Keep an eye on Snopes though...

I think you're being a tad optimistic to assume these are the absolute stupidest people in America.

Apparently, the chap's full name is Pedro Ruiz III. I dread to think what happened to Pedro Ruiz I and II.

Perhaps, therefore, a little respect for their feelings are warranted?

It's the kids I feel sorry for. The parents and bystanders are guilty of reckless stupidity and need to have the book thrown at them, very hard. Just not the one with the big hole through the middle and bloodstained pages.

Sorry, you want us to temper our comments about the stupid behaviour of a stupid-self-publicist that no-one here knows and who has no connection whatever with the forum, just because he's dead. Is that right?

How are you sure that nobody knows them, or has any connection with them?

I'm not. I'm asserting it without evidence. However, I'll stand by that assertion until someone comes along and demonstrates me wrong, and then I'll withdraw it and apologise.

In the meantime, I can't see any reason to amend posting behaviour in relation to the actions of some-guy-on-the-internet who did something extremely stupid.

As Drago has said Desert Eagles are one of the most powerful handguns around.
The bullet was shot from a distance of 1 foot!
Even with a bullet proof vest the guy would have broken every rib in his chest.
