Mom of man killed setting off fireworks on head: rules lax
 

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) ? The mother of a man who tried to launch a firework off the top of his head for July Fourth and was killed instantly said Monday she's advocating for stricter controls about who can use the explosives.
stupid bitch :disgust

Devon Staples, 22, and his friends had been drinking and setting off fireworks Saturday night in a backyard in Staples' eastern Maine hometown, Calais, when the accident happened with a reloadable fireworks mortar tube, police have said.

Staples' mother, Kathleen Staples, said she is going to reach out to lawmakers about the possibility of tighter controls over fireworks. The state should consider requiring safety training courses before allowing someone to use them, she said. She compared fireworks with other regulated items such as cars and guns.

"At least it'd be a little bit more than, 'Here you go,'" Staples said. "That's an explosive. They didn't just hand me a license and put me in the car." Devon Staples also had lived in the Orlando, Florida, area, where he worked as a performer portraying Disney characters such as Gaston from "Beauty and the Beast" and Goofy, his mother said.

She said he believed the firework was "a dud" that was unlikely to hurt him. State Fire Marshal Joe Thomas said that is unlikely because the mortar had been fired once previously and he "can't imagine someone would anticipate that it was a dud."

Well if she's got a "dumb ass" test that could have pointed out her son then she should give it to us.

:helpme

Her boy was an aspiring actor, had a girlfriend, was turning his life around, he din do nuffin and got killed by the greedy Republican fireworks industry.

Another lowest common denominator law about to go into effect.

God's will be done.

Your late on this monkey:

What kind of law can be enacted for that retard that tried wrestling with an alligator?

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

she doesn't seem very upset about her son's death. she's more concerned with blaming the system.

I think you should have to show ID before purchasing beer to prove you don't live within 300 feet of a swamp.

that would decimate beer sales!

Her son was so retarded that he blew a mortar off of his head.

Can't blame her for being in denial, LOL.

Sounds like they should have a test to see if you and your potential mate are going to turn out idiots or not. Fail the test, no breeding allowed.

I have a much, much better idea.

Let's stop saving stupid people from themselves.

no crocodile tears.........yuk yuk

Here's another dumbass with a mortar whom seriously injured himself and another guy when he tried to launch it off his kayak..

It's not about saving them from themselves, but rather taking the rest of us out with them..

We need to run some Freakonomics.

If we let them kill themselves early on, the collateral damage might be minimal enough to the point where it's beneficial to us all as a society. Plus think of all of the money saved if that person is not going to school, that's hundreds of thousands!

this is my thread foo

Can't fix stupid.

I beg to differ young sir.

Once it has been proven, the correct size hammer will do the trick nicely.

idiots breed idiots :2 cents::2 cents:

I don't know; that mortar seems to have fixed at least one.

Her retarded son is killed and a day or two later she is already thinking about trying to change the laws? Fuck you dumb bitch how about spending some time grieving. The last think I would be doing is talking to reporters.

Never enact laws that interfere or inhibit Darwinism or natural selection.

i know it appears IQ is a factor. But as alcohol is also involved, i would not pass judgement on IQ cause when someones drunk, even really smart people do retard things.

alcohol plus fireworks.

:error

somehow posting news threads about complete idiots suits you perfectly :)

Well, at least we now know how the son got to be such a complete moron.

Is she the mother of twins?

The other one jumped in a lake to swim with an alligator. :1orglaugh

more power to you

but then nobody would have kids ever...

I must presume you are speaking of the crowd you hang with; we appreciate that you acknowledge your shortcomings.

shut up already Jigabooooo with all these fucking news copy n pastes!!!

Fuck i thought my posts sucked!!!!

I wonder if he put the shell of the mortar in upside down or if the shell was screwed up.

A new law won't cure stupid.
