Political and cultural commentary from the perspective of radical common sense. Opposition to the AMERICAN BIPOLARCHY and ideological fanaticism in all forms. Don't take our word for anything: figure it out for yourself.

Santa Claus has been shot
This just in from Washington DC. Footage from station WJLA:
I've been shot with a pellet gun before. It hurts, but not anywhere near what this "santa" is moaning about. Add to that the thick coat he is wearing and the rolls of fat and his antics are way overdone, whether he was really shot or just faking it.
Also, pellet guns do not have a very long range. To do that kind of "damage", the shooter would have had to have been within camera range and someone would have seen him/her.
Looks staged.
ReplyDeleteTwo days later and the story still seems legit.

Those are valid points but the way news cycles run these days I'd think someone would have exposed a hoax by now.
