Now, while the girl obviously had the priority, you'd think that they police could've waited until this guy was at hospital himself.

Not actually a headline that left me speechless, but a sequel to one: the Pakistani teenager shot in the head by the Taliban is out of hospital.

I can see where he's coming from ..... but really.... idiot. What makes him any different than an internet troll looking to create havoc and alarm and basking in his own power and ego. He says he only does it to famous people who have the access to deny it publicly... but celebrities and people of power arent always watching everything on twitter or the net to catch it within an hour... and they DO have family and friends who would become alarmed.

I wouldn't go that far, but that girl's got bigger balls (ironically enough) than those a-holes who shot her. Bigger balls than many others, really.
