Two-fer today:
1. Man Wakes Up with Bullet in His Tongue. (Thanks to ever-aware Wil for the link.)
2. Deputy Fires at Car Driven by 12-Year-Old
"He, fearing for his life, fired several shots at the oncoming vehicle and managed to jump out of the way as the vehicle sped by him," Shanley said. The car then crashed into a nearby parked car.
The officers couldn't see the driver because the car's window's were tinted, she said.
The deputies discovered the driver was a 12-year-old girl when they broke a passenger-side window to get in, Shanley said. Her 6-year-old brother was also inside... The girl was charged with attempted murder, auto theft, driving without a license and other counts... The girl had asked for and received the keys to the car, which belonged to a family friend, Shanley said.
wha?! the article says the guy had a gun put in his mouth, heard it go off, and then went home to bed. what the hell kind of bullet is stopped by a tongue? the person who pulled the trigger should get a refund.

When I was a young teen, I used to drive around without a license. I got caught by CHiPs. I'm just thankful I wasn't caught by a bunch of morons. The officers were cool, listened to Kraftwerk and got all charges against me dropped.. so that I could continue to drive without a license.
Maybe the idea of being shot at would have really stopped me then.
