Here's some horrible footage from Washington, D.C. station WJLA. The ABC affiliate was covering a toy giveaway in the southeast side of the city when somebody shot Santa Claus in the back.

With a pellet gun.

I admit I laughed.

They were in Southeast... not surprised.

What an asshole.

From the comments:

Well if someone in DC hit their target you can rule out RG3 as a suspect.

That's not Santa Claus, Santa is white.

Seriously, that's messed up. What kind of asshole would do something like that, even with a pellet gun?

Continues at 10:25 with the pellet gun.

I feel bad for laughing but it was pretty funny. Pellet gun can hurt pretty bad though I would imagine?

Hahahaha, ice cold. At least DC still has Ovi.

It's a terrible thing to say but I'm very surprised they didn't shoot him in the arse while he was bent over. Full on Home Alone style comedy.

EDIT: I should say I don't advocate behavior like this at all. They should be charged if found.

First thing I thought of. To this day, no one can bring up Santa Claus around my sister or I without us demanding that he pay what he owes.

Watevaman · Dec 24, 2013

Crazy shit, but doesn't surprise me in that part of DC.

Here was a large, unkempt, suspicious-looking man, threatening to make lists about my kids, then break into my house tonight with a 'delivery'. I acted on instinct.

Probably because it isn't a very good television show so for the most part it wouldn't pop into peoples' minds after seeing the OP

Boondocks is a great show man. But that's a whole other topic.

Yes, one strong enough can break skin.
Had a family member get hit in the hand and it went to the bone.

Though it depends if it was an airgun or airsoft gun.
