A Belt Sander is a Tool
February 25th, 2008 by Tito ()
Paraphrased from this report:

A Philadelphia teenager celebrating his 16th birthday is permanently abraded after being sanded over an errant snowball. Authorities said the Feltonville teen, identified as Tavin Rutledge, was sanded in the head at point-blank range while playing with neighborhood friends in the 4800 block of D Street.
Witnesses say the sanding was sparked from a casual snowball fight amongst children. A friend of Tavin’s, who was also involved in the playful snowball fight, said the sanding happened after a wayward snowball accidentally struck a nearby neighbor. Police said the adult male became enraged and left the scene, returning moments later with a belt sander. Witnesses say Tavin’s effort to apologize to the man went unnoticed and the pulled out a belt sander and began sanding. Family and friends celebrating Tavin’s birthday heard the sander and found him on the front porch.

Except of course, it wasn’t a belt sander. It was a gun. Tavin Rutledge was shot at point blank range, and is now on life support.

Some tools are different.

UPDATE: Life support was turned off at 11:45 am today, and Tavin Rutledge expired soon after.
