File This One Under "Intelligence Failures"

From the "guns don't kill people, idiots with guns kill people" file, via CNN.

Frank Sendejo, who lives near the apartment complex where the explosion occurred, said Wednesday he had given a group of children a 40 mm shell. Police said they have talked with Sendejo.

I'm sure his neighbours would like to have a little talk with him too.

What can one say in the face of earth-shattering stupidity like this?

I'm going to guess that Mr. Pendejo, sorry Sendejo acquired his 40-mm toy as some kind of souvenir.

I really, really hope this guy doesn't turn out to have a service record. If he does, the US Army will have to change their slogan:

An IQ of One

[Although given their "commander-in-chief" couldn't they (a-hem) steal a march on history by changing it now?]
