    Fired 8 rounds next to a child, it’s a fucking miracle that the kid is ok. Now they’ve got the guy under lock and key so he doesn’t tell people how disgusting they are.

        Nope. Now he will likely grow up and show the effects of the trauma and the same people who cheered this will complain because he’s not “normal”.
