Exhibit #2142 in why humanity's probably beyond redemption:

12-year-old Florida girl arrested for allegedly selling stun guns to students

A school resource officer pulled the girl out of class and she confessed she bought five stun guns online with the intention of selling them to other kids, Tampa police said.

The minor said she sold three of the stun guns Thursday, cops said.

When police spoke to the girl Friday, she had a pair of Vipertek stun guns, which are sold on Amazon starting at $9.99. It’s unknown how much she charged the students for the devices.

This might not seem to benign, but here's the thing: remember legendarily gritty crime drama The Wire? This exact plot was actually a running plotline in Season Four, but even then, it's shit like candy.




So, let this sink in: The dark and gritty realism of The Wire has officially been out-grimdarked by reality. Not content with candy, this girl (who is actually younger than Randy was canonically) is now basically running stun guns. Fucking Hell.
