Do you think that store should be sued for negligence and selling a live grenade?


12 y/o Asher Hurley from Virginia is Dead after a WW2 era hand GRENADE, believed to be inactive, EXPLODED when he held onto it on December 23rd after PULLING the PIN, 2 days before Christmas!!

The MK2 grenade wa purchased at the Fancy Flea Antique Mall in Shallotte, North Carolina

Neither the vendor or the buyer believed the grenade was functioning at the time of the sale

A statement from that store said there was only one other grenade sold the next day by the same vendor and that they are "very very sorry for this to have occurreed" and that they felt that grenade was inert

Upon further investigation, officials believe other grenades were purchased by the same vendor in June 2020 and are now warning that those items may contain live explosives and could be hazardous to the public

His death was ruled an accident as an obituary written by his father said his child died in a "terrible accident in our home. He was a tender hearted boy who was a friend to everyone he met. Asher was rserved but loved to smile and laugh. His offbeat, quirky sense of humour touched everyone who knew him"

Do you think that store owner should be sued for selling that live grenade?

Up there with that wood chipper accident as far as stupid, tragic child deaths go. Fucking ridiculous.

By which I mean, adults failed this poor kid.

Buying a kid a real life grenade? I don't understand why anyone would do that. It's a tragedy the boy ended up dead. And I can't even imagine the scene afterwards... Just. Fuck. This was all preventable.

Reminds me of the time Ron Swanson gave a 12 year old a land mine in appreciation. It was funny at first but then you start wondering what would have happened if Ron was mistaken about it being a dud.

Store should be sued and the idiot parents should be charged for buying and giving their kid a fucking grenade.

That is tragic. That grenade went unexploded for eight decades before killing a child.

This also means that the last (or most recent) casualty of World War 2 was in 2020. Absolutely unbelievable.

Why would anyone buy a real grenade that still has the pin for a kid? Who cares if it is old.

I'd like to know where he exploded. Like was he playing with it in his room? If so wouldn't there be a huge hole in his house? And I wonder if his parents were home at the time. Did they just hear the explosion and say "oh fuck."

Even assuming they thought the grenade was inert, why did he have an inert grenade?

But then again that actual story was: "We bought our child an inactive grenade to play with"

Failure of adults for sure.

I don't blame the seller unless he literally sold it to the child.

Inert grenades are supposed to have a hole drilled into the bottom of them to show they are inert.

The store that sold the grenade is going to see some shit. And hopefully where/who they got it from also sees justice.

Negligence. By all adults involved.

He sold LIVE EXPLOSIVES. The seller absolutely has blame.
