Back in October,I wrote a diary about the death of eight year old Christopher Bizilj,who died because of a freak accident at a gun club in Westfield,Mass.,about a half-hour from the child's home.
Bizilj died when the Uzi he was handling,backfired and in the resulting concussion,he was struck in the head and died of his injuries.
On Thursday,the District Attorney of Hampden County,(greater Springfield) William Bennett,filed involuntary manslaughter charges against three men,including Edward Fleury,the police chief of the small town of Pelham,who owns the sponsorship of COP Firearms and Training,the gun show on the property that day and two other Connecticut men were also indicted for bringing the micro Uzi,which is used by the Israeli military,on the grounds. It is capable of firing up to 1700 rounds a minute.
If convicted,all three could get up to twenty years,but no more than five for a first offense,with a fine of not more than $10,000 and loss of gun permit for up to ten years. It was also determined that an unlicensed fifteen year old was "supervising" Christopher who was four foot three and weighed all of 66 pounds at his death. He will not be indicted.
Also not indicted (and should be) is Christopher's father,Dr.Charles Bizilj,the head of emergency surgery at a local Connecticut hospital. Dr. Bizilj will not be charged because he is a layman,and was relying on "expert" information from the gun club,and he stated that his son had experience in firing weapons. Bullshit!!!!!
I know that the good doctor will live with the fact that he contributed to the death of his son,and I hope the others get every damn minute of jail time they deserve,as who the fuck is that stupid to let an eight year old blow away a pumpkin with a military grade weapon?????
Ain't it time to put an age limit on gun shows and where the hell is the NRA? Haven't heard a word out of those mealy mouth bastards!!!!!!
