Plastic guns blamed for dozens of 'seriously injured' children in Gaza
 Yeah. Toy guns. Big Problem in Gaza... Gaza - Ma'an De facto police in Gaza are calling for parents not to give plastic guns to their children after dozens were taken to hospitals for injuries sustained during 'Eid Al-Fitr, health officials said. Well, it probably keeps them from playing with the family grenades... Hospitals say that over 150 kids were treated after being shot by the plastic bullets fired from the toy guns. Just imitating dad, I'll bet... "These kids are getting seriously injured by these plastic pallets," a Hamas police statement read on Thursday. It also noted that many of the reported injuries are to the eyes. You'll shoot your eye out! You'll shoot your eye out! The police called for residents to take responsibility for the gifts in order to prevent more kids from getting hurt. Or at least shoot at the feet. Like we do. Police also said that the guns "enflame quarrels," and are causing arguments between families and neighbors. Then everybody breaks out the real things...and Gaza zaniness ensues... Hamas also called on shop owners to stop selling the toy guns. Toy guns in Gaza are probably their equivalent to Pop Warner football. Posted by: tu3031 2008-10-02 |
