The Stranger supports gun control and gun safety, unless it is someone they like, then it is ok to use guns as toys.

@22: Goldy figured the kid died (as evidenced by his response @18), so he called the kid "suicidal" as a joke, and said he was a martyr, both words that mean there was a death, or in this context, heavily suggested death
Goldy is not allowed to claim "journalist" status when it suits him, and then claim "wacky blogger who can not be held to standards" when he does not bother to check his facts and gets called out on it.
He had all the space in the world to clarify that the kid did not die, but because he did not do his due diligence, he had no idea what actually happened.
Then instead of accepting his sloppy reporting, he childishly lashed out at the person who called him out on his own error. That is what bothers me more than the poor reporting, really.

Jesus H. Christ, Sgt. Doom. Shut the fuck up. No one is going to read anything you post or link to, no matter how many posts you need to do to feel important.

@18: Own up to your sloppy "journalism" like a man instead of getting snarky with your readers who rightfully point out your errors.
It is your fault you got the facts wrong, and you are using an extremely childish "tactic" to avoid taking responsibility for your work. No one is saying it is ok because the kid is not dead, and you know it.

Seems like a shotgun would be the worst possible firearm to kill an alligator with.
Well, unless he used deer slug I guess.

@6: It is the same way in every sport really. Steroid use in baseball was much more prevalent before the big crackdown than it has ever been in the NFL. Don't even need to mention bicycling. The NFL has a pretty vigorous random testing program, which is why you hear of NFL players getting busted so often.
Ironically, the shortness of careers and physicality of football is a disincentive to use steroids, as they make your body more prone to injury (or at least many players think so). All it takes is a player to spend a couple seasons injured to end a career, and most players would rather be mediocre than injured.
But no, the incentive to use PEDs are certainly structural in all sports...all you can do is test, test, test, and try to control the culture as much as possible.

PEDs (performance enhancing drugs) are simply any drug that the NFL puts on its list of banned substances. One can use several of these substances with medical exemptions however.
Most players claim it was adderall when they get busted, because it is a drug which does not carry the connotations of cheating that steroids do.
For instance, when fellow Seahawk Richard Sherman got caught using PEDs, he claimed the test was positive for adderall before he lied his way out of it.
But typically it is steroids. The Seahawks are developing a drug habit, which is not surprising, as Pete Carroll creates a culture of cheating where ever he goes.

@38: As is always the case when you see "accidental discharges" or people saying "the gun just went off," I guarantee you that someone foolishly had their finger on the trigger when the gun went off.
More than likely the gun worked perfectly. It was the owners who were defective.

The public was not disallowed from going outside in any of the instances quoted by the author.
The Mother's Day shooting was the only instance quoted by the author where the suspects fled and there was no identity verification.
By comparing apples to oranges, this particular author fails to support his thesis.
