This Is Not A Joke
Guns kill!!!!!!!
We're all for people having the right to bear arms (within reason), but…..
There needs to be a stricter screening process and background check!!!!
Some "accidents" just don't need to happen.
Like that dude that accidentally shot and killed his 9-year-old son after he mistook him for a turkey!
Yeah, he was allegedly high and drunk!
Well, it just happened AGAIN.
David Schmidthuber went turkey hunting with his 14-year-old son in Oldham County, Kentucky, this past weekend.
His son Steven got separated from his father about 30 minutes after entering the woods.
That's when police say the father mistook his son for a turkey and shot him!!!!!
We're serious.
The son passed away due to the shot.
According to police, no charges are expected to be filed.
We just can't even begin to imagine what that would do to a person: KILLING your own son.
What a fucking idiot!!!!!
Dear parents: please please please please PLEASE keep your children safe at home when you go hunting or will be using firearms.
It's just common sense!!!!!
Odelay!
She's Still Got It
I wonder if kids mistaken as Turkeys make your gums numb?
If he was high and drunk, couldn't he be charged for manslaughter?
Where is Harlow. Nicole Richies baby???
OMG. That is just horrible. my heart goes out to the family. But i agree with Perez. Dont take your children wtih you hunting. That is just bad business. the majority of people who go out hunting are also drinking while they are hunting. That is just stupid. You could accidently shoot alot of things if your drunk. Keep the kids at home.
what a dumbass!!!
wow thats so sad…
killing your kid.. traumatising, but if they were high and drunk thats even worse, you'd never forgive yourseslf.
these people need to grow up,they have kids so look after them
so saddd
How is that not involuntary manslaughter? He was acting in a risky manor, using a firearm while drunk/high er "allegedly" charges should be filed.
its sick, usa is sick, fucking crazy people with guns. how the *** can you think a 14 year old boy looks like a turkey?????????
Some people just do not deserve to be parents! Like the ones that are dumb enough to take their kids hunting with them!!!
hey dumbfuck perez. you can got to walmart amnd walk out with a hunting rifle. there is only a screening process on handguns and semiautos.
Wow….
Right lets all keep our kids at home and not teach them gun safty so we can enjoy our sport without shooting out kids..
HOW ABOUT DONT DRINK AND GUN??!??!
yer fucking a moron .. if yer a moron you shouldnt own a gun..
People like perez need to be shot for being so fucking stupid.
maybe he was naughty
What morons there are in this world….if you cant see exactly what it is you are shooting at….DONT F'ING SHOOT, especially when you dont know where your hunting partner is. Do these people hear movement in the bushes and just unload, its only common sense to know what your shooting at before pulling the trigger.
Fucking idiot rednecks… This is why we need gun laws because idiots like that have no common sense.
The only people that should have guns are the cops… Too bad people take advantage of something written 200 years ago, even though its neither relevant or necessary today…
I am from this part of the country (TN) and it is sick and sad to see the "institutuon" of boys "huntin'" with their dads. It's almost like a rite of passage. Go with dad and learn how to guzzle cheap beer and belch all day in a tree stand. So you can strap a deer carcass across your hood to take home as a trophy to ole' ma.
Sick sick sick sick sick!!!!
Can't you just teach him to throw a football or something!!!!!!!?????
how sad =[
It's common sense to teach your children about gun safety, not to lock your kids at home so they are clueless.
omg this is so sad…such a stupid mistake costs us so muc
R.I.P
what i dont understand is, i thought when people went turkey hunting they shoot for the head because they dont want the shot to ruin the body of the turkey, how the FUCK do they think their children are turkey heads! Doesn't make sense to me!
People that dumb (not keeping his son close and shooting knowong his son was lost) don't need to breed anyways. HICKS!!!
Un Beeeleevable..
thats so sad… take away their guns! …then put them in jail. forever.
I go turkey hunting, and I do not see how someone can mistake a HUMAN for a turkey!
Why do you idiots continue to express surprise when things like this happen in your gun-crazy country? Your archaic "right to bear arms" results in the deaths of thousands of innocent people every year and your best response is to dump trillions of dollars into fighting "terrorism"? The rest of the World is laughing at what a sick joke your society has become.
Happy hunting, retards.
this is really sad…but hey it's not right that they get off the hook just like that. isn't that the point of wearing those ORANGE jackets so that way you know how to differentiate people from fucking TURKEYS!! i don't know i'm starting to think that maybe they're on purpose. who knows right?!?!
it's really sad.
oh my fucking god….people are dumbasses…Is the father on suicide watch I mean I would need to be if I had just done that.
That happened to someone I knew as well
He went hunting with his dad and his dad mistook him for a BOAR and shot & killed him. This was about 5 years ago when I was in middle school, crazy..
People just shouldn't hunt! I hate people that kill animals.
Re: mikeB – ….YOU CALL PEREZ A "DUMBFUCK"?? AT LEAST HE HAS "GOT" A LITERARY BRAIN!!!
Sounds like the universe took pity on all those poor animals. LMFAO!
maybe it's just because you grew up in florida when you were younger, perez, but dads take their kids hunting all the time up in the northern area of the country….
No Perez - common sense says DON'T USE GUNS AT ALL, dummy
yes
What a great way to get rid of your kid and not get punished for it. I bet we will see more of these.
That's so fucking retarded and sad. If he was ALLEGEDLY "drunk and high", then there so has to be charges. I wonder how the WIFE/MOTHER is taking this. "Oh honey, it was an addicent. Thats okay, I understand. You didn't mean to." Not. FUCKING BULLSHIT. Common sense, people, common sense.
I would never go hunting but if I did take my 9 yr old or 14 yr old hunting and we got separated I would concentrate on finding them and not firing at random crap. It stands to reason you are not the only hunter in the woods and the chances of your son being shot as he is lost in the woods seems very high let alone you being the one who shoots them. People are stupid- and hunters (case in point) seem to be the stupidest of the lot.
O.K. this is friggin ridiculous.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT WEED OR ALCOHOL, IN EITHER CASE.
THIS IS ABOUT STUPIDITY, PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
HUNTING IS STUPID, AND ONLY STUPID PEOPLE DO IT. i could never never under any circumstances shoot my child because of 'MISTAKING' THEM FOR A FUCKING TURKEY>
STUPID PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE WHILE HUNTING, WHICH IS STUPID TO BEGIN WITH>
GET A BRAIN CALL AND AN EDUCATION
Re: Ashley – Re: Ashley – Ashley–you are an idiot. The "majority" of people that hunt are not drunk–Other than Dick Cheney when he shot his "friend". And you should definitely take your kids with you. The first rule of hunting is know what you are shooting at. Hunting is a great way to bond with your children, you just can't be an idiot like these guys are.
these men cannot be skilled hunters if they are mistaking their own children for turkies…there is just no way that you can do that…My father is a hunter and went to great lengthes to make sure my siblings and I were educated on gun safety etc….When you go hunting with other people you need to make sure you know exactly where they are, so you are not pointing your gun towards them!! How stupid these people are…I feel bad the kid died, but the father should have known better.
:( what an asshole.
That is horrifying!
Taking your kids hunting and letting them seperate from you so you can mistakenly shoot them because you are too stupid to check what you are shooting at, and teaching your children about "GUN SAFETY" at a shooting range or somewhere safe is COMPLETELY different. SO stop arguining "he was showing him gun safety".
I live in Minnesota, a state with a lot of deer hunters running amuk in the woods. When I was 15 years old, my uncle and I were shot at by a hunter who was trespassing on our farm property. We have hunters here who shoot out of season, without permits, and who have no regard for "No Trespassing" signs on privately owned property. The worst offenders are the ones who shine deer at night and shoot right into residential areas. There is no way to control the problem, and it wreaks havoc for everyone in rural areas. No one will ever convince me that we all have a God-given right to gun ownership.
If you're seperated from your child for 30 minutes, wouldn't you stop hunting to try and locate him ??!
I blame mcDonalds makin all the kids so plump and juicy, MMMM.
Well, Perez, I officially lost respect for you. How can you claim that a right has to be within reason? Either it's a right or it's a privilege. There are no two ways about that. Start restricting the only amendment in the constitution that specifically states it "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED" and what happens to your precious 1st amendment? Free speech zones?
Stricter screening process and background checks would not have prevented these hunting fatalities.
The answer is more and better gun and hunting education.
Guns don't kill people. Uneducated People Kill People.
Re: Ashley – the majority of people who go hunting are not drinking you dumbass. The majority of people that go hunting actually know what they're doing and know what they're shooting at. Its the few people like these two men that ruin it for everyone else.
Or just dont SHOOT anything until you reunite with your kid!
I love you Perez, but I disagree. The law should be changed, no one should have the right to bear arms, if no one was allowed to own guns there would be less deaths due to guns, THAT'S common sense. Why do you think far far FAR fewer people die in europe due to gun crime in comparison to the states, uh, cause they're not allowed to possess arms, simply as.
This is a really REALLY sad event that happened but it's unfair to say that he was drunk and high. He blew a .06 at the scene which isn't even over the legal limit in minnesota, also they haven't proven when the marijuana was in his system that stays in your body for weeks so it's very likely he wasn't high when this happened. I'm sure he was excited to take his son out hunting and bond with him, killing his own son is punishment enough. This breaks my heart
Now yall people just piss me off! Why not take your kids hunting with you? They learn gun safety and what happens when you shoot something. Instead of these city kids that take a revolver and point it at some other kid and shoot them. If they know what kinds of damage a gun can cause then they won't point it at someone.
Also, we eat what we shoot. We do not keep "trophies". We and our other buddies that hunt wait till after the hunt if we are going to drink. So don't roll everyone that hunts in to that idiot redneck catagory. There ARE responsible hunters out there.
You are an idiot, Ashley. "the majority of people who go out hunting are also drinking while they are hunting". Anyone can be stupid about ANYTHING they do. How about the people who drink at baseball games, parades, or golfing? Not "everyone" who hunts, drink. Do not categorize those that are concientious with the idiots that drink and hunt. There are many safe and respectable people who hunt.
I've never posted a comment on here before, but I couldn't let this slip by.
To Ashley, who blindly asserts that "the majority of people who go out hunting are also drinking…"- that is a ridiculous and dangerous generalization. I grew up in a community of farmers and hunters, and heard not one story of hunting while under the influence of any substance. My father, grandfather, uncles and brothers all hunt as well, and would never do so after or while drinking. Certainly there are people who do, but undoubtedly the majority do not.
The hunters in my family have handled guns for literally decades. No one has ever shot anything they didn't aim at. The rules are always hold the gun vertically, barrel up, and always assume it's loaded and the safety is off. When people exercise the right kind of caution and control, hunting is as safe an activity as sky-diving or mountain climbing. They all carry risks.
Re: suzy – OMG! Are you for real? The Constitution was written to protect the people from a government gone wrong. Hmmm, I bet you're a Clinton supporter too! Enjoy the police state you fool!!!
MAYBE HE DID IT ON PURPOSE BECAUSE HIS SON WAS GAY, HAS THAT EVER OCCURED TO YOU PEREZ?
Your last statement contradicts your first. The IDIOT killed his son. Guns don't kill, people kill. I would question why the father would allow his son to be separated from him in the woods like that without knowing EXACTLY where his son was. That is Hunting Safety 101. This guy should have his hunting license permanently revoked. I hate hunting, but I am a firm believer in the right to bear arms. Stating that "Guns Kill" is like saying "Alcohol Kills" without realizing that people make choices to use alcohol to excess or get behind the wheel of a car just as people make the choice to use guns irresponsibly.
Re: AJ – No matter how much safety you teach someone it all goes out the window when you're intoxicated and when there's an underage CHILD running around firearms! Hellooooooo! Anybody HOME?!
My heart goes out to the family. But, how stupid are you when you think a 14yr old is a turkey!!! He had to be under the influence of something. This is something that will haunt him for the rest of his life.
I call BS. He killed his son on purpose and then used the "turkey defense"
You just added this story and it is yesterday's news. I think you can do a little better than that.
Re: jesspppp – Its because they wanted their children dead. They can get insurance money that way and buy a new trailer. Obviously.
So are you saying if we had a stricter screening process and back ground checks these fathers would not have shot their sons? That's insane. I grew up at a gun club (my father was the caretaker) and I watched adults use guns responsibly my entire life. Don't punish all the good people because of few stupid idiots.
There is no such thing as "gun safety" with a small child. the idea itself is ludicrous. Think about it.
That's horrible. People should be more careful with guns. and EW, they were hunting.
I hope his wife divorces him and never speaks to him again! Get a turkey at the supermarket along with the rest of us. Hunting is stupid unless you are broke and starving too death.
THIS GOES TO SHOW THAT HUNTING SHOULD BE TAUGHT IN ALL THE SCHOOLS ALONG WITH SEX EDUCATION. WE ALL NEED TO LEARN TO HUNT SAFELY
Rednecks should not be allowed to 1. Own guns 2. Breed. So many problems would be solved by those two, simple rules
This is complete bull shit Perez and people like you that don't have a fucking clue need to sit down and STFU. Make tougher turkey hunting laws but the gun laws have nothing to do with it. The North East (ME, NH) have the most lax gun laws in the country AND they are among the lowest in crimes including violent crimes. Thar go your theory!!
Wow Perez you have no clue about rural America.
Please post about issues you are familiar with, like gossip.
JUST DON'T HUNT DUMB FUCKS!
when things like this happen…it's a really great thing.
human beings get thrills by killing other living beings.
if a few of their offspring happen to die ion the process
of a hunt…i don't think or feel bad or sad at all.
actually….i feel good.
[re=2111950]Re: suzy "Fucking idiot rednecks… This is why we need gun laws because idiots like that have no common sense.

Ah….. another perfect world thinker….. only in that world do Idiots & police have guns. Everyone else are law abiding citizens living in white picket fence houses.
Gun laws only apply to those who listen to the law in the first place.
How many criminals do you know have permits for their guns?
How would you protect yourself or your child if someone broke into your house?
How about this one….If you CHOOSE to not own a gun, good for you. DON'T take away my rights and tell me how to live.
Crrrrrrrrrraaaaaazy MOFOs!
this happen awhile ago actually. im about 20 minutes away from oldham county. funny i never heard of any drugs or any thing like that though. perez must be running out of things to post. this happens more then we know.
why did you delete my comment???
Re: NO ONE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO POSSESS ARMS –
No Common Sense would be…if you made all fire arms illegal then there will be a black market on them and none of the guns would be tracable.
My question is, did the son even wear anything hunting safety appropriate. Living here in South Dakota there are many hunters here who do wear the bright orange to easily be identified as humans (for lack of a better term). With that being said, yes, I honestly think there was gross negiligence to not ensure the son's safety. However, there are several hunters who take extra special care to ensure the safety of others in their hunting party. I do not think that we should go as far as to say 'let's keep these kids at home'. If we shelter kids to the point that they can't self suffice then we are doing them no favors.
You know what. This is just stupid and sad. Are these people drinking Abstinthe? Is everyoe seeing turkey? How do kids look like Turkeys?
I'd rather be a bank robbing crack head, and have my kids go to school w/ crack instead of killling my own dag on child whilst thinking he”s a turkey. Good God!
Guns don't kill, people do.
Irresponsible people shouldn't be wielding guns. It has nothing to do with stricter gun control laws.
Why did you delete my comment????
Re: Renelle – I wouldn't call people who kill living creatures for fun responsible…but then again I'm not morally bankrupt. Have fun in hell.
Re: Renelle – Finally somebody on here that makes sense.
GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, PEOPLE (MISUSING GUNS) KILL PEOPLE.
GUNS DO NOT KILL PEOPLE. STUPID PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE.
WHAT F*CKING IDIOT WOULD TRY TO SHOOT AT A TURKEY KNOWING THAT HIS CHILD IS OUT IN THE WOODS SOMEWHERE? HE SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH MANSLAUGTHER!!!
i guess i can blame my spelling mistakes on my pencile!
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
Leave the gun law as it is, especially out there. Those dumb hillbilly fucks are just weeding out the population for us! It's darwinism in action!
If only eugenics were a viable option!
right to bear arms? why, exactly? it's such a fucked up mindset to have thinking that the best way to keep peace is to have lethal weapons…working much for you?
Jesus Christ! THERE IS NO NEED FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE A RIGHT TO BARE ARMS! In my country we sure as hell have not had that right in modern time (WE are not barbarians) and less people get killed here. THE RIGHT TO BARE ARMS IS AN IDIOTIC AND ANCIENT RIGHT THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN AWAY NOW!
david schimmer killed his son! OMG!
Yes, irresponsible gun-owners make it bad for everyone. I'm not a gun owner, and wouldn't ever want one around my children, but I do respect people's right to bear arms and hunt. My family just went through a similar tragedy a year ago: one cousin accidentally killed the other when he walked in on his brother cleaning his gun. Totally freak accident. Both were teenagers. Being responsible is key.
Re: animals are people too –
Let me guess…a vegatarian? And if you look, I said we don't kill for trophies, we kill for food. At least my shot kills instantly instead of a sledge hammer in the head or a throat being cut! And I know these animals are not getting anything "extra" in their diet. My meat is true organic.
Well this is bound to happen..Untrained people with weapons.. Imagine that…What is going to happen now that the NRA managed to pass the Bill that allows people with concealed weapons permits, to bring their weapons to work even if the employer forbids it….
What an IGNORANT and HYPOCRITICAL statement Perez!!! It's laughable. Do you REALLY think that stricter screening would've prevented this???!!!! If so, please enlighten us? No, the REAL problem is very simple…. parenting. Because there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with a father taking and teaching his son how to hunt. It's as old as your's and mine and everyone elses bloodlines. The REAL issue is parenting (as is the issue with most of todays problems). Why do I say that? Please explain to me why the father(s) (of the 9 yr. old and 14 yr. old) would continue to hunt with a child separated in the woods from them?! Im not a hunter and have a phobia about guns but you cannot blame this on gun laws or anything else concerning that. It was the idiotic parent(s). If a child is suppose to be with you and disappears (no matter the age) stop what your doing, get off your ass and go find them!!!!!
Score one for nature! HAHA!
why do we give a fuck? not much celebrity gossip today? if I wanted to read this shit, I'd log on to CNN
They should make a new law that if your children go missing while hunting……you are not allowed to fire your weapon. Whatever happened to common sense?
