16-Year-Old Confesses To Shooting That Caught Girl In Crossfire
Sexual Harassment On Subways An "Underreported Crime"
A 15-year-old Brooklyn boy was arrested yesterday after accidentally shooting himself in the penis. The Post's stupid headline is, "So much for packing a, um, rod," and there are going to be plenty of bad jokes about going off half-cocked in the comments, but we can't help but pity the kid. Khamir Grant told cops he was walking home from Amersfort Park in East Flatbush around 1:30 a.m. Sunday with a gun in his waistband when the piece began to slip into his pants. When Grant grabbed for it, he accidentally pulled the trigger, firing a bullet "right through his penis," in the Post's words. Grant staggered home, told his mother what happened, and they took a livery car to Kings County Hospital, where Grant was released after treatment and then arrested. He's charged with reckless endangerment and criminal possession of a weapon—the same charges levied against Plaxico Burress, who last year shot himself in a nightclub under similar circumstances, albeit with less catastrophic results.

It should happen more often. Would keep the welfare rolls down.
You are a racist douchebag.
Who said anything about race? Now, who's the racist douchebag?
Was he wearing sweatpants just like Plax?
When will people learn
Guns and sweatpants dont mix!
Honestly. What does it take for something so seemingly-obvious to enter the realm of common knowledge? Maybe this will do it.
hysterical!
Plax said he was not wearing sweatpants that night.
Not surprising that he'd say that when everything is calling him an idiot for sticking his gun in his sweat pants.
Well, it makes sense that someone with a lot of money (at the time, at least) would wear something nicer than sweats to a nightclub.
I love how a 15 year old with a gun who's out at 130am still felt the need to go back to his mommy as though she could do anything for him. I wonder if he's a good student?
I love Darwin.
He's a very nice boy. Straigh A's always...
15 yrs old, with a gun, at 1:30am? I guess he was out protecting the neighborhood...
Hopefully the wound eliminates his ability to procreate.
It couldn't have been too severe if he was treated and released. A mere flesh wound.
"Less catastrophic results" depending on who you're talking to.
Bobbitt redux, sort of.
By the way, do you know what Jeffrey Dahmer asked Lorena Bobbitt?
Are you gonna eat that?

If that were me, the bullet would've ricocheted off my penis. But then again I wouldnt be stupid enough to carry a gun like that, or at all.
We should encourage these children to store their weapons under their freshly stolen baseball caps...
"We should encourage these children to store their weapons MUZZLE FIRST, IN THEIR MOUTHS."
there, fixed it.
Hmmm, maybe avoidable if you pants aren't 2 feet under your ass. Seriously Little Thuglets, what's so awesome about your little pubescent ass that I need to see it? Wearing your pants like that does nothing but tell me you're a piece of garbage that thinks T-Pain speaks English and class is a fake diamond "$" around your neck.
If the pants were two feet under his ass, it would have been completely avoidable!
I wonder if he'll be shooting blanks for the rest of his life...
Circumcision ghetto style.
Darwin fail
What a weiner.
ha, he's still a Momma's boy. does his mommy lay out his clothes for him and wipe his ass too?
silly momma's boys.

to reiterate, the kid shot himself in the dick. common sense, or any sort of semblance of intelligence is simply not in the equation...
Probably a Glock, like Plaxico's. The safety is a small lever on the trigger, which works fine until you're fumbling for the gun as it slips down inside your pants and grab the trigger.
and you thought he couldn't pee straight before...
First reaction: ouch
Second: ouch
Third: Heh Heh
Fourth: ouch
Play him off, keyboard cat!
Heres hoping for an infection that will rot it off. It's too bad he survived to kill again some other day. Worthless lowlife trash.
Thugs and wanna be thugs, listen to me. Keep your piece in an in-the-pants holster and DON'T walk around with a round in the chamber!!
No reason not to have a round chambered, as long as you are using a holster. If you're going to carry, you should be ready to use it.
You'll never see a cop or other pro draw a holstered weapon and have to chamber a round.
Might have to see someone about shooting prematurely.

This is what happens when we go soft on gun violence.
Keep it up and you'll experience pun violence.
What 15 year old doesn't like to shoot his dick?
Winner.
Everyone who carries a gun in this city should get shot in the penis. I don't feel bad for this kid in the slightest.
I heard his GF called him a little prick already.
He will forever cringe when walking past someone wearing a Sex Pistols t-shirt.
"This is my rifle
this is my gun one is
for shooting, the other for fun."
What I learned in the Army.
