Most Darwin awards have a bit of dark humor in them. This one doesn't.
A teenaged kid in FL was pointing an AK looking Airsoft rifle at passing cars. Someone called the police and when they arrived, he pointed it at them. He perished. It was a tragic incident but he didn't have what you'd call a clean record. He was well known to the police.
I don't know what this kid was thinking but I'm guessing he was stoned on something to be that stupid.

Based on his other 22 prior interactions with police, including a felony arrest for battery, can't imagine a need for this:

Probably fortunate for society - that gene pool ended when it did.

It takes a certain amount of IQ points to survive in this world.

Some do, and some don't.

He didn’t leave the police many options


if a man speaks, and there isn't a woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

He’d have had to get bigger to be any damn dumber.
Probably saved ourselves some money in court cost convicting this stupid chit later.

Don’t bring airsoft to a gunfight. Simple words to live by.

It does cause one to wonder what the fallout and hell to pay might have been had it been a black teenager. Probably good thing he was white!
