Texas A&M baseball player shot by stray bullet -- police say he had "bad luck, in bad place" [View all]
In blue states that don't allow guns to be as easily purchasable as a bag of potato chips, this "bad luck" doesn't happen. In Rhode Island or Hawaii, there is no "bad place" for someone to be shot while standing on a goddamn baseball bullpen mound.
BTW, the police are not to blame for Texas' non-existent gun control laws -- the blame is squarely on the submissive majority of Texans who have been duped into believing the Second Amendment fairy tale, and who elect GOP demagogues who have signed a Satanic pact with the gun lobby.
Apologies to the blameless, intelligent sizable minority of Texans who don't buy this GOP/gun lobby bullshit. My anger about this is not directed at you.

A baseball player for Texas A&M-Texarkana was shot while standing in the bullpen during a home game Saturday.
The Texarkana Police Department posted to Facebook on Saturday evening that it was investigating the circumstances of the shooting and that it appeared “he was struck by a stray bullet from some type of altercation in a nearby neighborhood west of the park.” The game was being held at George Dobson Field at Spring Lake Park.
The school said in a statement Saturday that the unidentified player was being treated at a local hospital and was in stable condition. The police department said the player is 18 years old.
A police department spokesperson told the Texarkana Gazette that it was
“incredibly bad luck, bad place” for the player who was shot. The paper said the shooting happened in “about” the fifth inning of the school’s game against the University of Houston-Victoria and that the student was shot in the chest.
