Yikes!

No amount of family counseling is going to help here.

A Washington State man had to be airlifted to the hospital after his daughter shot him with a hunting bow because he took away her cell phone, authorities said.

The 15-year-old girl refused to let her father use the phone to call for help Wednesday evening, forcing him to crawl to a neighbor's house for help, KOMO-TV reported.

When officers arrived at the house in Tahuya, Wash. - about 35 miles west of Seattle - the girl fled into the woods with the bow and 35 arrows.

A SWAT team was called in to take her into custody.

Her 35-year-old father was listed in serious condition.

Sounds reasonable.

Seriously. WTF is wrong with his parenting skills

You just don't get that kinda crap happening over here in the UK. Sure, we've got some pretty messed up kids, but daaaaaaaaaang. Shooting your dad with an arrow?

Daaaaaaaaaaaang.

No, not just shooting him with an arrow, but shooting him, with an arrow, because he wanted to take her cellphone. I love this country

Let this be a lesson to all you teenage boys out there. Cross the young ladies and thats what you get!

Who am I kdding, they are all like that, and thank God.

Well at least when shes of age to date, the father wont have to worry about her being taken advantage of



"wait for him to take down his pants, when he does slip this into his thigh and TWIST it. Got it?"

I'm going to guess that maybe, just maybe, there is more to this particular story.

I guess her dad got her point in the end.

Ohhhhhh you. You funny guy

Kids these days.

Back in my day psycho teenage girls didn't need a reason to flip out and shoot her dad with an arrow. We would run off into the woods with a few dozen arrows and fire potshots at our parents just for the fun of it.

Kids with theri xstations and playboxes just don't know how to have good old-fashioned fun.

S**t happens.

I want an xstation... and a playbox...

You know whats really cool? women get even crazier later on. I know. I KNOW!

Thats just insane , i would have left her in the woods, let her get all rambo and stuff

Yeah, that's one SWAT mission I'd opt out of.

Sure, but you would think that, if she was psychotic, she would have started with bunnies, or something generally less authoritative than the old man.

I had to, someone would've done it anyway so it's best to get it over with.

Dad will get home from the hospital, all bandaged up, and say .. "I'm very upset with you. Because you didn't think about my feelings, you need a time out. Now go to your room where you can play WOW for an hour all by yourself, and think about what you've done."

i think she crossed the line when she refused to let her dad use the phone to call for help

anyone else read this and thought "Hunger Games" or "Hanna"?

She's gonna get one hell of a beatdown when he gets out of the hospital.

Making your Dad crawl to your neighbors house with an arrow in his head. That kind of...thing just makes me so...sad. I just don't know what to say. Oh my God.

Think it might be safe to say she has anger management issues.
D Bandit are you thinking she might get grounded?

Must admit like you guys am struggling with the fact that she refused to let him call for help

Ehhhhhhh. . . anger is saying "I hate you daddy, you're ruining my life!!" and then stomping off. Shooting him with an arrow is. . . . something else.

If there is one thing movies have taught us is that little girls with bows and arrows should not be unestimated.

I hate to be the one to say this...

But did she get her phone back? I mean, If she shot her fething father in the head with a bow, she probably had some stuff on that phone.

*Cough*

Arrows are pretty classy actually...
It takes a bit of skill to shoot someone in the head with a bow so fair play she did well... apart from the whole shooting her dad in the head bti.

Things have changed a bit since William Tell's day.

It's still fairly difficult to shoot someone in the head...

Just as well for Master Tell

Edit: What really happened in Switzerland.

Dad shoots at son with bolt because he took away his carrier pigeon. Austrian Guards called.

Stella Cadente wrote:I'd love to know how she shot a guy with an arrow when you don't shoot arrows you loose them

I'm pretty sure that the person getting hit with the arrow is still being shot while the person doing the action is loosing the arrow. Either way, I wonder if this is another example of 4H archery training being used for improper ends. DAMN YOU 4H!

also this poem from my youth,


William Tell, William Tell,

Take your arrow, grip it well,

There's the apple - aim for the middle -

Oh well...you missed by a little.

wow you don't hear about this everyday though i do hear about girl friends punching their boyfriends in the face at school, though that is common.

Just proves don't test a womens fury.... I will bow now

I hope my point proves this
sorry i just had to this thread was begging me to do it. Even though this horrible.

Hey no worries, your puns where arrow shaft and not to mention totally compound bow I really liked your thoughts on broadhead and bow string











yes?

I'm wondering if the dad is gonna shoot the teen once he gets the chance...

Father and daughter are going to have to sit down together and have a serious heart to dart.

Now that was good...

Ma55ter Fett
Master Tell is the Kid
Mister Tell is the father
who missed a Tell junior, though not according to your rhyme.

Eh, as the old saying goes, "sometimes you've just got to shoot your problems in the head with an arrow and flee into the woods."

If this had been me and my father, he would have beaten me senseless and then pulled the arrow out.

I'm a grown man and I still wouldn't fight that crazy dude.

Wonder what sorta arrow it was, if its a broadhead, that guy is screwed. They'd have to leave the point in the head because it actually causes an exit wound as well. If it was a normal sporting tip, then you could just rip it out.

And it'd be relative easy to isolate and pick out SWAT with a bow. just stay up high and aim for the armour joins.

Ah well, at least she didn't Quarrel with her dad that much, but darted to the woods and had a point to make.

Women are irrational.

So when men shoot people with arrows it is only for reason?

How the hell did he not see that coming? I mean having had a bow, it's not the weapon of choice if you flip. So you're all worked up... whilst in this state you go to your bow case, take the bow out, assemble the limbs, string the damn thing, grab an arrow and then draw it.

Don't know about anybody else but I would of got the hint at that stage!

Well - I was not expecting to read something like that story

As was suggested, I would imagine there is more to this story.

But still - I know one girl who will not be getting a limo to the prom

You must not be very familiar with modern bows. These things get very high-tech and can be fairly easy to use and do not require assembly of limbs or stringing. You just knock the arrow, pull the string and you are ready to rock & roll.

Chances are the bow, depending on the type, was a typical hunting bow that could have been specially outfitted for her. Modern hunting bows are almost always attuned to the person so that the draw weight is within their capabilities. Depending on how strong/big her old man was, if the bow had been his I doubt she would have been able to shoot him with it, so it must have been hers.

Frankly this is a very UK type thing to do, so I expect you Brits to hold up your end. We started with the bow - what are you guys opening with? I'm waiting for my headline with "Hit with Morning Star" in it people!

We are far more civilised than that - duels are announced, seconds are appointed and a time, location and weapons are chosen.

Either that or you get happy slapped/stabbed.

I'm going to have to start appropriating medieval weaponry and leaving it to hand in places where tempers flare. The post office, for instance.

There's an old county law that never actually got taken away here...
The specifics are a touch vague but essentially you are allowed to shoot a Welshman with a longbow if he is in the city after midnight...

Actually, its legal for you to shoot a Scotsman with a longbow as long as the Scotsman is out and about after dark in York. I believe its legal to shoot a Welshman with a longbow on any day except for Sunday.

At least he didn't try to take her CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT. Then she really would of gotten violent.

Its a good thing she didn't use her CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT on him. Imagine all of the teens of America using their CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTS to get back at their parents.

Such laws are superseded by modern murder/etc laws.

You realize that you can shoot someone with a longbow without killing them right? I mean the story is kind of self evident of that point.

The halloween decorations are scaring away all your old people

I for one welcome the return to medieval times; practicing mounted archery wouldn't be classed as weird anymore and arguments would be won through first blood duels.

Chavs would finally be off the dole when they're hired as assassins (and probably killed in the process; win-win).

If you didn't like your neighbours you'd just lay siege to them.

Ah, the good old days...

halonachos wrote:You realize that you can shoot someone with a longbow without killing them right? I mean the story is kind of self evident of that point.

Aye, enjoy the memories of us decrepit folks in our final years in the nursing home! Adult diapers are in your future too sonny boy, and they are going to be changed by a large and slightly less old man who, for reasons one can only speculate, enjoys his job!


Back on topic: Seriously? What the -censored-? I seriously HOPE there is more to this story, something to justify...say...shooting a man in the head. Over a phone. Like "When my dad took it away he beat me 15 shades of purple" particularly when you refuse them access to medical afterwards. Even if you DID get beaten black and blue, standing there shaking your head "no" is a sure way to get yourself caged. I see no excuse here.

Shes already attempted to kill one man, and has gone to ground while armed. I would say SWAT is a good call on this one. Whether she gets taken down with verbal commands, tasering or problem solving via lead injection is going to be up to her. Can't say I have a preference as to which, but good god. Over a phone? <Censored>!

If we ever want to conquer the world in a complete and utter whirlwind of really cool 3D effec t violence, get a division of menopausal women together, give them guns, and tell them they are fat. It'll be like the Zentraedi just bombed the planet from orbit.

Of course I haven't, I'm fourteen mate. Not sure what you think pubescent male teenagers are into nowadays, but it definitely ain't that.

If there was a like button, I would "like" vladsimpaler's post up there.

I going to assume there's a little more to this story.

Typing speed isn't the limiting factor for most people, having something to contribute to a given topic is, followed by reading over what one has written to correct errors or awkward phrasing (or at least, this step is ideal). Now, I don't know what you generally post, and I can't be bothered to check, so you might be fitting both of those factors, but I must contest that typing speed is an important factor in all this.


On topic: at least bows aren't particularly deadly with medical attention, on account of not pulverizing and shredding one's internal organs like bullets or causing profuse bleeding and possessing a potential for multiple injuries like knives.

I'm aware of this, but the fact that I really do not care to argue the point meant that I provided only one reason that I didn't elaborate on.

End of that discussion, back to the normalities of life such as shooting your dad in the head with an arrow..

Either a joke or ignorance.

Or perhaps he was just writing to confirm something.

Nope, it didn't penetrate his skull Apostle, otherwise he'd most likely be dead.

Then again people have survived some pretty funky things. I know of a few people that have been shot in the head and survived.

There's an old documented case of a man who took a railroad spike through the brain and walked to see the doctor about it. It's a pretty interesting read, and I'm sure someone with a better functioning memory could point you in the direction of the story.

Srsly though, this girl should be put in jail or something. What happens when the dad grounds her and doesn't allow her to be on Facebook? A mace to the head?

I've just re-read the report... did they actually catch her?

They got her

One down, fifteen million to go.

Some more details that add a bit of context to this story.

First from here:
http://www.q13fox.com/news/kcpq-deputies-say-teen-shot-dad-with-bow-and-arrow-over-cell-phone-20110525,0,7677408.story

Iovinelli managed to get into his truck and drive to his neighbor and friend Dave Blackwood's house for help.

Blackwood says, "He rolled his window down and said Dave bring your phone I need you to call 911 for me." He's got a very tall truck and I looked in and you could see an arrow protruding perpendicular from his body. I mean right side about here straight out. He said he was walking through part of his house and it was dark in one of the rooms and he felt something hit him and he looked and there was an arrow in his side and his daughter was in ... I don't know which room, he didn't explain and he said what did you do and then he pushed her away so she must have been fairly close."

And the aftermath, from here:
http://thechronicleherald.ca/World/1245527.html

A Special Weapons and Tactics team surrounded the girl in the woods and arrested her for investigation of first-degree assault. The girl was not injured but was taken to Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital because she was despondent, Adam said.

The man has sole custody of the girl and is apparently her only relative in the area, where they have lived for at least eight years, Adam said. Her mother lives out of state and has no contact with the girl.

She was despondant...
Why is this weird to me?
It doesn't seem the right frame of mind for someone who has just been arrested by a SWAT team after shooting her dad in the head with an arrow...

Either the news is once again understating or the American's have a different idea of what despondant means to us.

Please tell me this isn't serious?

You really think you could easily take on a team of what is essentially a paramilitary group by aiming for gaps in their armor with a bow and arrow? Methinks you've been taking the Black Library books a little to seriously.

The SWAT team tracked the girl down and captured her in nearby woods around 11 p.m.

Detective William Adams said the girl was found "to be despondent with a serious medical issue.”

Iovinelli was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. He is in serious condition.

The girl was transported to Mary Bridge Children's Hospital.

The Sheriff's Department said she is being treated for medical issues, but did not specify any further as to her condition.

From that first of the newer articles. Hospital makes a bit more sense if they're treating a real medical condition.

I'm interested to see if any more details on this crop up, but I'd be kind of surprised if they do at this point.

Perhaps it's a euphemism for "tried to kill herself"?

That a bit of a difficult euphemism to get...
They are meant to be veiled meanings not hidden behind a brick wall.

Fear not Chowder, for all that time in MW2 has prepared you for the great task of Black Ops, which in turn will prepare you for the next challenge. So unsheath your gun and load your sword, and get ready to kill more infidels and terrorists and whatnot.

I just want to fight robots... and zombies... robot zombies...

Flaming zombie robots

Maybe her father was a Flaming Robot Zombie that stole her phone to lure her in to eat her?

That would certainly explain the despondency... wait no it wouldn't!
It would vindicate her decision to shoot her dad in the head though...

More like he was the phone. Ooooooohhhhhhhh!

KC, that made no sense.

We still love you, though.

Yeeeeeeeeeaaaa........ I suddenly felt like I was on the set of a tv show being recorded infront of a live audience... and you know when a character..... says something....cool....the crowd does the....OOooohhh......thing. Im sorry

Don't be sorry. Just put the apostrophe between your I and M.

Then MAYBE I'll accept your repentant soul. Maybe.

Look at ALL my 10k + posts, youll be able to count on 1 hand the apostrophes I use. Its my way of sticking it to the man.

Then they'd just say she attacked them or somesuch. "Despondent with a medical condition" sounds like a creative euphemism for self-inflicted injuries, which they probably couldn't legally say about a minor for privacy reasons etc.

Attempted suicide was my reading of 'despondent.' It's one of those words physchiatrist use to the media, to protect the subject's privacy, as Sir P says.

Sounds about right. I mean she did shoot her dad with an arrow, and then challenge the SWAT. Shes obviously not that stable

She better have one of those sewing-kit/knife things for patching herself up, as well as a thorough reading of Ragnar Benson's works.

But then again, if you've read any books by Ragnar Benson, there's a 50/50 chance that you're not too right in the head.

Wait...so this guy gets shot in the head, by his own daughter I might add, manges to get in his car, drives to his friend, remain standing whilst asking them to call 999, gets in the ambulance, and is taken to hospital...without dying...with an arrow sticking out of his head.

Will he be my dad?

Unless it's through the heart or the brain, an arrow doesn't actually do all that much very fast, aside from inflict pain, since it stops up the wound it inflicts and just impales the body, as opposed to shredding and pulverizing it like a bullet would, or inflicting multiple injuries that go unplugged like a knife generally would. Generally arrow wounds aren't even incapacitating, with animals shot by bow hunters who don't manage to pierce their heart often fleeing for hours before collapsing, and humans having the ability to seek out medical attention, where they're very likely to survive (technically, with modern medical attention one has a pretty good chance of surviving being shot or stabbed too, only something like 7% of shooting incidents are fatal).

The head? I thought I read it was in his side.................................... am I scrambling up stories again?

Pretty sure it was the head. Then again, if history has taught us anything it is that I can't read.

You see? That's what I thought - Who the heck takes an arrow to the head from close range and walks off afterwards? Thus my assumption it failed to penetrate his skull.
Unless it was one of those arrows with the sucker tips that kids play with... That makes everything a lot more simple...

Sure, but you would think that, if she was psychotic, she would have started with bunnies, or something generally less authoritative than the old man.

She had hunting arrows for a reason.
