Is it just me or was it pretty funny readin the report?
"It's the damndest thing I've ever seen,"
I doubt that if someone took an aluminium bat to someones head they would stay human looking, yet alone alive. But a potatoe to the face would hurt you like hell.

I think the cops should have looked into the case as a shooting not a beating, as
and didn't appear to have been beaten in the head
would most certainly look like a damned beating.

Another theory is that the guy tryed to hit the potatoe that a friend of the guy shot at him from a cannon. the potatoe hit him in the noggin' and the bat was broken before anyway, and the guys mate ran off

I've had several experiences with hiting hard objects with aluminum bats and they can crack. It really isn't that easy tho. My opinion is that if the bat was the case they would have found little pieces of brains scaterd everywere, not pototos.

Motherfucker you can't go around doing that bullshit. Spudguns are NOT paintball guns or toys. If somone tryed that shit on me I would fuck there bitch ass up. In my book that's the same shit as pulling a drive by on me.

I played baseball for 4 years, I saw a aluminum bat break once, and even then the bat was severely over used past its lifetime.
I like the baseball potato batting practice idea

What I'm really suprised at is the fact that all this went on in Hannahan.This is the sort of thing that goes on in N.Charleston.Granted, Hannahan still has its fair share of murders.Well I guess when North Charleston has low income slums and real guns,that leaves Hannahan with slightly higher income housing and slightly less deadly implements :wink:

I know that they are dangerous dude, I was just saying that used in the proper way they are not that dangerous. This dumb fork makes it seem like they are dangerous and that we are all dumb forks and shoot each other etc.
