Stupid, stupid kid.  Imagine how his family must be feeling....  

If the story is true.

I'm sure his parents don't refer to their son as a numbnut and and its a tragedy if he dies. I feel very sorry for the family. Young men are stupid and reckless and if you had a son you'd understand that, calling him names??? just shows you up.

when i first heard the story I couldn't believe someone could be so silly...... and so unlucky.  the bullet was in the first chamber. Stupid and dangerous game to play

and his poor family only found out about it from FB

I bet his family will call him worse if he survives.  Any parent would be angry at their child for doing something so stupid and recklessly putting their life at risk like that.  Of course his family are also upset, in pain, traumatised, and suffering.  

Yes, it's a tragedy, it's also a stupid, stupid thing to do and I bet he has friends and family calling him worse than numbnut.

Thanks, but I do not need you to tell me how to react or what to say.

What a terrible story and what a tasteless heading !

[j*oono]

I just don't get it.  Why are people taking everything to facebook.  Even his mother goes on facebook to tell him to  "Come on mate, fight!!! WE need you home with us ... no words can comprehend."

I don't think facebook is going to help.  Why is everything so me me me these days.

Yes, I feel dreadful for her but I just don't understand why people are plastering every thought on the internet.

If he was playing russian roulette with the Glock he posted on FB -

then he's not unlucky - just plain stupid.

One bullet is always the first in a Glock.
