I think this piece of human excrement qualifies for the "WTF Thread."

Hahahahaha

I saw a beat up pick up truck on 170 some months ago with a casket in the back. My jaw just dropped.

The story itself was fairly unremarkable: Two teens had been wounded in a drive-by shooting on the South Side. What made it stand out was that it included a brief interview with a 4-year-old boy from the neighborhood who said he wasn’t scared by what he had witnessed. Asked by CBS 2’s freelance photographer what the youngster would do when he gets older, he replied: “I’m going to have me a gun.” Reaction from the news anchors was predictable. Steve Bartelstein called the boy’s comment “disturbing” and “scary indeed.” Susan Carlson added: “Hearing that little boy there, wow.” (Bartelstein subsequently left the station for reasons unrelated to the incident.)

Only after the piece had aired twice — during the 4:30am and 6:30am half-hours — was it learned that the 4-year-old’s comment had been taken out of context. A viewing of the unedited interview showed the reason the boy said he’d someday have a gun: “I’m going to be the police!” Staffers who saw it were said to be stunned and appalled. The piece was removed from the station’s website, and CBS 2 hoped the gaffe would go unnoticed.

That makes me sad, so I am going to share this.

I guess this is the most appropriate thread, though honestly it doesn't really surprise me.
