The possible end result of stupidity

SHOCKED: 92-year-old Willy Webb was preparing to go to bed when yobs fired what is believed to be a ball-bearing gun pellet at his bedroom window, shattering glass SHOCKED: 92-year-old Willy Webb was preparing to go to bed when yobs fired what is believed to be a ball-bearing gun pellet at his bedroom window, shattering glass

IT happened three years ago in a Wiltshire village not that far from here. A boy of five was accidentally shot in the head with an air rifle.

It resulted in a terrible tragedy and highlighted the danger of air-powered guns shooting pellets or steel balls.

These things are powerful. Everyone, whatever their age, knows that.

Was it a BB gun that was fired through the bedroom window of 92-year-old Mr Willy Webb in Bournemouth? If so, you wonder what kind of person, whatever their age, would do such a thing.

Let’s hope the youngsters apparently responsible for that vandalism are aware of what might have happened if Mr Willy Webb had been hit by a pellet or ball bearing.

Let’s hope, too, that those responsible are not proud of their asinine behaviour.

And let’s hope that they start showing some sense... instead of behaving like a bunch of sponge-for-brains who appear to breakfast on bowls of stupid.

So glad Mr Webb is safe.

If anyone knows of these stupid, zero brained oiks, please have the sense to turn them in. They'll possibly either boast about what they've done or get frightened - hopefully someone will overhear them.
