"probably"??

Hm, teenage gangbangers usually don't have parents shill out for braces. But non-gangbangers are rarely involved in "gun battles." Maybe someone's out of his element, and it really worked out

Got my braces tangled in a particularly dense patch of crotch hair when I was a teen.

/She was about an R-19 according to Owens-Corning data.

In before Jaws

i came here to say THIS. well done.

and some one shot in the face in pontiac?! why thats ABSURD!

michigan sucks. no, i mean for real. detroit is like the event horizon of suckage and will soon devour the entire state. and none too soon!

Might take care of that second problem.

Would you really want to be alive after being shot in the face? I've seen videos/pictures of botched suicide attempts and most of those people were missing at least half of their faces.

I'm thinking grillz, and the reporter or med staff have no idea, especially after being hit with a .45

Oh snap!

Chuck Norris wouldn't need braces...

Gang members should get total legal immunity in exchange for only fighting in pre-designated arenas with gladiatorial rules.

They can still kill each other, but also get mad dough off ticket sales and advertising.

TheCharmerUnderMe:Dental plan!

EdMon:Lisa needs braces!

Good job you two.

He's either gonna have mad street cred or epic street dead.

Thats why I ALWAYS rock my grill, dawg.



Its saved my life 2.6 times and counting.

smoke weed everyday

Braces are sexy. Especially on Asian girls.

krug9999:In before Jaws

Amused:

Bulletproof grillz yo! Lame jokes aside, the kid's life might be saved but the injury from a shattered .45 in the mouth has to be horrendous. Almost preferable to be dead.

That must be the rule 34 for kelp.

Welcome to my "you think you know demographics but you don't" list. Most of the farks who sold the quantities of drugs that would require you to pack that I knew came from wealthy families. Seriously, that really sounds like, "If you're poor and deal, you pack, if you come from a rich fam you don't and are above that." You have to be seriously naive to believe that. Gang bangers don't have rich parents? Sometimes they don't, sometimes they do. To assume that a kid from a poor family decided to get braces is kind of funny; I can only assume he came from a family that could provide. Or at least teach him the value of braces, you know?

I go the simple route; lots of rich parents are stupid enough to teach gun ownership as being important. If kid gets into complicated situation - well .. it turns into a well armed populace versus a gun control argument.

howdoibegin

The wealthy kids who I used to be able to afford to buy from may have carried, but they never ended up using them. Gangbanging as a lifestyle is something beyond moving drugs and the vast, vast majority come from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.

I took issue with your "because he had braces, he was probably hanging around with low lifes who pulled their heat and fired first".

I'd just counter that with that's a hell of a lot of assumptions. To go from braces to socioeconomic background is a pretty large leap. Just as large as saying those without could have opened fire. Your post just came off as some kind of apologist idea of some innocent kid from the suburbs who didn't deserve ending up in a situation where gunfire went down. When you say "rarely involved" all you're talking about is your perception of when non-gangbangers are involved in firearm injuries. The way I look at it is much more generalized - gun control is a non-starter in the states, and gun injuries are far above any other country. The way people talk, NOT owning a gun is disrespecting the constitution and adding to crime. I'm just pointing out that when these kinds of stories go up, people go "ah those damn poor uneducated folks opened up on the middleclass guy again".

I really take issue with the "poor people use them, middle class people dont" tact because whats the point of ownership then? Do people really believe that if the states made sure way less guns were actually manufactured, that only the criminals would manufacture guns?

I don't know what happened of course - but I won't make any assumptions. Guy with braces shot in the head turns into middle class guy who got in over his head? That's the kind of leap that makes me fear your opinions are built on headlines.

There are plenty of middle class teens from suburbia here in Ohio that like to think they're "Down" and sport "pieces".

All parties could have easily been middle class and poor people can have braces too.

Hope the kid pulls through, regardless of his background or why he was involved in a "shootout".

Anyone else think this sounds questionable? Granted, I've never had braces, so I don't know how strong the wires are, but it seems unlikely that they'd be enough to shatter a .45 bullet.

Pontiac man?


Was it this guy?

/ Yeah, hl.

holy crap.... You almost made me spit cereal and milk all over my kybd.

Maybe this is the latest trend...Maybe braces are all the rage in the hood (are they still called that?). Maybe rappers will start writing songs on the benefits of getting your wisdom toofs pulled.

Or maybe this kid was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

In other words in Michigan.

I've always thought dueling should still be legal. If two people want to kill each other in a responsible way, why should I care? As to this kid, you know what saves my life? Not getting myself shot in the face.

HOLD ON! NO farkIN' WAY! YOU farkIN' NOTISH ISH? I GOT farkIN'

You might want to look into braces anyway. Just in case, ya know. Doesn't hurt to be prepared.

Aaaand into the wood chipper with you.

Ah...Pontiac, my old home-town. How I don't miss you. At all.

Who doesn't love insulation humor? I LawL'd.

I tried to find a pic of Tom and Jerry(i think) where the dog gets shot in the teeth and it leaves a perfect bullet hole through them.


/got nuthin

My thought was simply that 18 is pretty old to have braces. That was more of a 14-16yo deal if not younger from what I recall.

/still has one permanent brace on the back of his two front teeth
//probably should have that looked into

Braces?

I lost my virginity in braces.

/just sayin'

Braces on girls can be kinda sexy.

/On GIRLS.

Redscum:Braces?

That was my first thought, too.

Never needed braces, never found them attractive and i had naturally straight teeth if not for a slight overbite.

Superfuzz is unimpressed.
