    Thats the strange thing about Americans. They have no sense of comradery and so are utterly perplexed as to what the guy standing is doing. He's rubbing his friends back, plain and simple. Americans will let there friend throw up and simply look on thinking they should stand 5 feet back. Other people around the world help a friend out and rub there back so they can vomit what ever is left and not feel so sick. Hell, when ever I am in Hollywood and we see some guy throwing up and his friends just look on we start chanting "rub his back." The one vomiting is usually thinking "thats not a bad idea" and the one looking on is saying to him self "why would I rub his back?" Because he's your friend you ARSE!

    Sorry giz - the British boyfriend says that it's a "Stag do", the British equivalent of a bachelor party. The guy with the reindeer ears is the guy getting married (the stag).

    In reply to British Boy Embarks On "Electric Shock Free-For-All" With Bulgarian Stun Gun
    Giz:

    No, "stun gun" could not easily be replaced with "gun". The kid did not want to go around shooting people. He just wanted to go around shocking them to be a tease/bully. "but he probably didn't know" the stun gun could not kill someone? Of course this 13 year old knew stun guns don't kill people. Good lord, guys, wake up!


    Further, the Bulgarians would not have sold the kid a "gun" like they did with the "stun gun".


    And by the way, why did you never mention the boy's parents?


    Lastly, the "capable of up to 30,000 volts" line is needlessly thrown in to scare/impress us with a large/scary sounding amount of electricity when you (should) know that doesn't mean anything without knowing how much amperage it outputs.


    < / rant >


    I still love you guys, I swear.

    @The_Gas_Man: I agree with you. 30,000 volts is nothing. My college friend got one and zapped himself to see what it felt like. He was fine.


    In fact, even in the same article above, it says this:


    "In 2007 a teenager was sentenced to six years in a young offenders institute for electrocuting a teacher with a stun gun of almost one million volts in an unprovoked attack in Bristol."


    So yeah... there are worse things out there. That kid would have done more damage by punching other kids.

    Don't blame the Bulgarians, I live in the UK and I got a stun gun from USA (via eBay) for $15. Also, I heard on the News last week that the Mexican drug gangs were buying most of their guns from American gun shops.


    BTW I got the stun gun for the high voltages components - not to stun people.

    @fluxlasers: In America, to buy a firearm, you must have at least a green card, have resided in the state for at least 90 days, and be able to show government issued photo id. Then when you purchase the firearm, it is registered to you. 'Mexican gang' members are not going to go walk into a gun store and try to buy a gun. Either they are not in the country legally, or if they are, they dont want a gun they might use to kill someone to be in their name.

    "the boy had bought the stun gun for £15 while on a skiing trip to Bulgaria in February with their father and other brother"


    It seems like they are more of the jet-setting wealthy type than going-to-get-drunk backpackers.
