Well finally a story with a happy ending.

The same basic thing happened in CO maybe 10 years ago now. Some kids dressed up and went over the scare one of their friends, making her think they were robbing her house. She grabbed a gun from her parents room.

Do we still get the video?

 

[myronman3]

i’m surprised there isnt more of this.

i always made it a point to drive the point home with my sons, and ALL of their friends that come over, that there was NO room for pranks around my house, because you might get mistaken for a home intruder and get your head blown off. also told them pranks might not be seen as a prank by someone else and could end up with the same result elsewhere.

it’s the world we live in.

Who says it's a prank and why would you believe them?

They probably have other stupid stunts on YouTube.

That's called "practice and rehearsal" for the real thing.

Maybe he could prank his way back to life, You don't know.

Probably figured he'd respawn if something happened...

Maybe I'm just an asshole, but I personally wouldn't have lost sleep if I was the shooter. Pranks are fine and all, but keep them reserved for close friends and family and not total strangers! I swear my fellow millennials are a strange bunch at times...

Glaring typo in the "article"... par for the course.

I'm glad that the victim was able to protect himself from a robbery. Not a fake robbery. A robbery. There are no fake robberies.

No-one thinks there are consequences for anything they do......surprise!

 

[Jefe's Dope]

It wasn't "fake", it was real until it went bad and now they're covering their asses.

 

[DarnYankeeUSMC]

They brought real knives to a gun fight.

They are trying to get constitutional carry passed in the state. Why these nimrods thought this was going to work out or not meet some resistance is beyond me.
Thinking probably was not their strong suit. Obviously!
The dumb shits that survived should be charged with his death. Considering they charged the girl that shot the guy with the bullet proof vest when he asked her to do it. They should be also

It'll be fun they said...

I think it would have been a bit more funny if the perp was stabbed in the crotch with his own knife.
