More Numbnuts In The News

So, a bunch of numbnut teenagers were boozing it up at a house in Boxborough, Massachusetts, when they decided to break out the guns.

BOXBOUROUGH -- A late night party is broken up by police after neighbors report gunshots early Sunday morning.

After receiving 911 calls reporting shots fired, police responded to 30 Chester Road and found eight teens between 16-18-years-old allegedly intoxicated.

Authorities then found a loaded semi-automatic assault rifle that was allegedly shown to guests during the party. The officers seized the rifle along with a handgun, two other rifles, alcohol and a beer funnel.


One of the little Skippy McFucknuggets thought it would be a real hoot to fire off a few rounds from an semi-auto AK clone outside the back of the house...in the dark!

18-year-old Brian Whittier of 205 Great Road in Acton allegedly fired two shots from the rifle from outside the back of the house. Whittier was charged with possessing liquor under 21-years of age, carrying a large capacity firearm, discharging a firearm within 500 feet of an occupied dwelling, and disturbing the peace.

The resident of the home, a 17-year-old, was charged with possessing liquor under 21-years of age, resisting arrest, carrying a firearm without a license, possessing a firearm without a FID card, possessing a large capacity feeding device and possessing ammunition without a FID card.

Two other minors were charged with possessing liquor under 21-years of age and one was charged with carrying a large capacity firearm.


I wonder if they'll get the full 11 days or if that severe punishment is reserved only for gun law offenders with a prior criminal record.

The target furthest away in that shot is about 0.2 miles (approx. 1050 ft) from the back of the house. With the effective range of an AK-47 being somwhere in the neighborhood of 300m to 400m (approx. 985 to 1,312 ft), and an effective "killing range" of 1,500m, it's safe to forward Mr. Whittier's name to the Dumbass Hall of Fame for their year-end nominations for enshrinement.
