Re: teen killed because of Laser

Darwyn Award... At least it wasn't a cop and they thought it was a sight... Death penalty for annoying with a laser pointer is a bit extreme IMHO... Would have been better if they got the crap beaten out of them instead.

Re: teen killed because of Laser

^ Not so sure on that one. Low power pointers, (even lower than they're supposed to be too I suspect! :D ), are available from street vendors in Greece. It's a common, cheap toy that's picked up by UK tourists, as well as many others. No need for a, "Mister Big", to distribute them.

You could be right, but my paranoia/conspiracy sense tingles when I see an out of the ordinary demonstration...

In Kyrgyzstan during the revolution many of the so called protesters were there because they were offered bread and vodka. People were bussed in from the neighboring towns and villages... Now imagine a medium sized city, not meant to support any population influx - and dump thousands of drunk people into the middle... that's the last revolution I paid very close attention to, made me something of a paranoid cynic I suppose:undecided:

Re: teen killed because of Laser

Wow this is crazy. I really think this story has nothing to do with lasers which is good. Sounds like this guy was already on the edge. If he was annoyed to the point of murder you think he would have been annoyed to the point of leaving first.

Re: teen killed because of Laser

Hmmm... Darwin comes to mind...

I'm 99.99% sure that the taxi driver told the Laser jockey to stop
what he was doing before it escalated into what happened... IMO

My thoughts exactly.

I dunno, I think death would be an appropriate punishment for blinding me.

Teen wasn't killed over a laser. He was killed for screwing with the wrong person. Could of been a flashlight and I bet he still would of been stabbed to death.

Says they refused to stop with the laser. When somebody says to stop harrasing them they are probably serious and pissed and to ignore them is asking for what follows. This stupidity is one of the main ingredients of what brings a lot of victims of violence into our ER.

Well said. That's exactly what came to mind when this thread first popped up. He wasn't killed over a laser, he just annoyed the wrong person. It could of been anything.

It might be a good ideal to change the title of the thread. I am sure anyone who is looking for laser related deaths on google will be linked to this page. That may not be a good thing.

Personally I vote for "Idiot teen killed due to his own stupidity."

Re: teen killed because of Laser

Make no mistake, This killing was not because of any laser... This killing was because of idiocity.

It's funny how the title of the thread is "static" and not "dynamic". It reads different as I got to the last few posts. Most every other thing is "dynamic" content.

Edit: nevermind, it changed as I was viewing it. :tinfoil:
