Boo-Boo Needs a New Friend

This weekend, Tre Merritt, a 5 year old from Arkansas (obviously) shot himself a bear.

Reported by Heather Crawford from KATV/Little Rock:

""His 10th great-grandfather was Davy Crockett," Mike Merritt said. "And Davy supposedly killed him a bear when he was three. And Tre is five and really killed a bear.”

Tre confirmed his grandfather's account.

"I was up in the stand and I seen the bear," Tre Merritt said. "It came from the thicket and it was beside the road and I shot it."

Tre Merritt's father said he began teaching his son to shoot when he was just 2 ½ years old, and said Tre killed three deer last year.
The family plans to get a life-sized mount of the bear, but where they will put has yet to be determined
."

So let me get this straight. A 20 year old can't enjoy a delicious vodka tonic legally. Ron Mexico is going to be spending the next two years of his life in federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison for enjoying the fine pastime of killing K-9's. Yet, this kid is going to get a street named after him for bustin’ a cap in Yogi’s ass? Call me a pussy-ass liberal democrat if you want, but if you’re not old enough to attend kindergarten, I don’t think you should be wielding a rifle.
