Today, I saw my neighbor's delinquent kid shooting squirrels with a BB gun. Shocked and furious at his cruel behavior, I told him to stop, with the threat of telling his parents. He responded by shooting me in the nuts and running away in a fit of laughter. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I came home from work to find that my neighbor's trash bins were still on the curb. While returning the bins to her backyard, her kid ran out and shot me with a paintball gun. Multiple times. He thought I was a burglar and ruined my new suit. FML
Today, my new neighbor offered to "humanely capture and relocate" the squirrels in my attic. He then "humanely" shot at them with a BB gun, and the "relocated" them into his stomach once they were killed. Welcome to the neighborhood. FML
Today, I went for a jog. While passing by my neighbor's house, their six year old son started throwing peanuts at me screaming, "I hope this kills you!" because I'm allergic to peanuts. FML
Today, while I was pulling weeds, my dad thought it would be absolutely hilarious to yell "Hey, son!" then unload his gun at me when I turned around. After I'd screamed like a bitch and pissed myself, he broke down into hysterical laughter and said he'd loaded the gun with blanks. Fuck you, dad. FML
Today, a coyote turned up in the yard where my son and his friend were playing. It was aggressive and foaming at the mouth, so I called the boys inside, and shot it. Now my wife is scared of me and half the neighborhood wants me gone for "dangerous behavior." FML
Today, while at school, some jerk shot me in the foot with a BB gun. While in agonizing pain, I yelled, "FUCK" as loud as possible. A teacher walked by, oblivious to the fact I had just been shot with a BB gun and wrote me up for, "Disrespectful language". FML
Today, while walking through the park, a little boy came running up to me and hit me in the nuts with a stick. I fell on the ground and looked up just in time to see his mom giving him the thumbs up with a smile on her face. FML
Today, I played a harmless joke on my neighbors by pointing a laser pointer out of my window onto their wall. Apparently, my neighbors don't take jokes lightly as one of the sons pointed at my window while screaming and swearing, then took out a gang bandana and wrapped it around his face. FML
Today, my dog was barking at a squirrel in the yard. I opened the door to let him chase the squirrel. I went to look at the dead squirrel and found out it was the neighbor's chihuahua. FML
Today, I was doing target practice with my new paintball pistol. One of the bullets missed, and hit my new neighbor's house. I went up to the door to apologize, not realizing I was still holding the paintball gun. My ex-soldier neighbor thought I was robbing him and put me in a chokehold. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You think it's okay to torture animals for fun? Are you insane? Sadly, this is how a lot of parents of kids who do this kind of thing react. It's a huge red flag to get the kid help now before he starts treating other people the same way. Yet, these warning signs often get brushed off or ignored, and worse things happen in the future.

Yea cuz all kids that shoot squirrels become psychopathic killers... Pretty sure I shot a number of squirrels back in my day and never committed a crime and I am a vet tech now. Which means I help injured animals and deal with true animal abuse cases... Not some kid down the street shooting a squirrel

131 - You didn't shoot a person, did you? That's what this kid did: turned the barrel from the squirrels to OP and shot him. That's a line that should never be crossed, and it's what the law is for.

No, not all children who do that grow up to be "psychopathic killers", but some do, and even if they do not, the fact remains that it is absolutely not normal behaviour. It is indicative of a lack of empathy, which is something that should never be ignored. In this case, the child has already crossed the line from animals to humans, having shot the OP. This needs to be addressed professionally. #131: It's great that you grew up to be a vet tech in your case, and now you're helping animals, but that does not change the fact that "a kid down the street shooting a squirrel" is absolutely "true" animal abuse. Harming an animal for amusement is, by definition, animal abuse. For example, The California Penal Code defines (similarly to many others throughout the world) animal cruelty as: "The malicious or intentional maiming, mutilation, torture or wounding of a living animal, and states that any person who overworks, tortures, torments, deprives of necessary food, drink or shelter, cruelly beats, mutilates or cruelly kills an animal is guilty of a misdemeanor or felony."

I agree with you! These people are wayyy over-reacting! What the other people are saying is all hunters become serial killers... I hunt, I shoot/maim animals intentionally for fun, yet I don't see myself locked up! And besides that point, I really hate animal activists (or any kind of activist for that matter), they're just annoying liberals. Animals don't have nearly the thinking power that us humans do. Cats don't even register pain as punishment. On top of that, animals can't develop feelings towards anything and they dont have conscious thought. They feel pain, it just doesn't matter to them like it does to us.

Soooo, you're saying hunting is illegal? That's the intentional maiming of an animal...

Call the cops! Seriously, this is the kind of thing that needs to be dealt with ASAP. Not only is he attacking animals, but it has already escalated to injuring other people, as well. Next time it could be another child. Good for you for sticking up for the poor squirrels. I'm sorry it resulted in pain for you :( You'd think people would pay attention to whether their kids have, you know, sociopathic tendencies -before- giving them a "toy" that doubles as a weapon!

I knew a boy like this back when I was a kid. He often would shoot squirrels and disrespect other people (and taught young children to do the same). He committed suicide not too long ago now.

Serial killers usually start like this ... :S

Yup that's why some many killings and mass murders happen in the country... If this statement was even partially true there would be atleast 1000 times as many killers in this country... Think about that one

I would press charges on his ass and don't drop them no matter how much of a begging parents they are. Put his ass in juvenile jail if he's old enough. Or put him in that scared straight program

Am I the only animal rights person here? I'm vegetarian & don't believe in killing anything!!
emmae331 3
Than you better stop eating vegetables they are alive before you kill it too
emmae331 3
Oh and ps you're taking away from the animals food source by being a vegetarian causing animals to starve to death which is worse than humane death and if everyone became vegetarians there would be an over abundance of animals and they'd all starve and die. Also on this topic if you're wearing clothes which I'd hope that fabric comes from animals too

Why would squirrel's need rights? They're pests. They're destructive. When they start evolving and understanding what we know, which won't be anytime soon, then we can give them rights. Until then, they're nothing more than pests. And it's all fine and dandy for you to be a vegetarian, and it's great that you're an animal rights activist, but that doesn't make you better than anyone else. This has nothing to do with being a vegetarian.
