POSTED: 1:26 pm EDT June 1, 2005

PASADENA, Texas -- A Houston-area man is in jail after police say he blasted a wasp's nest with a 12-gauge shotgun and a stray pellet hit a boy in a nearby apartment.

Romeo Gonzalez was charged with deadly conduct and is being held in the Harris County Jail.

Police say the man fired to break up a wasp's nest hanging from a tree outside his second-floor apartment.

A pellet entered a first-floor apartment and hit a five-year-old boy in the thigh.

1. Dumb bastard

but isn't this the perfect metaphor for the present administration?

Fuckwit fires at a wasps' nest (the Middle East) and kids get hurt in the crossfire and the wasps all pour out and injure anyone within range.

I hope the put this guy away. Stupidity like that is truly dangerous and should be illegal.

3. Hasn't he heard of RAID?

Works better than a shotgun and fewer flying pellets to injure others.

4. Guns "solve" another problem

At least he didn't do it with an ASSault rifle or a .50 cal.

5. Oh come on, he did not really do that.

Lets hope they keep that guy in Tex.

That is another story to find and read about.
