It could happen to anyone; 8 year old girls are often mistaken for skunks. If you ask me, the kid was just asking to get shot. Why else would she be wearing a black outfit w/white feather?

I don't get it. Was there some question if she was or was not a skunk, or if skunks were in season?

Probably exploring all avenues for some type of conviction. No doubt she wasn't a skunk though.

As a general rule, when there's a party with kids at your house, don't pull any guns out. Just sayin'.

Sorry but I don't think that the kid is Scot free here. She (actually partial blame lies with her parents) put herself in a position that led to being mistaken for a skunk.

You would think that when Grandma put the flashlight beam on her and yelled "Fire!" the little girl would have stood up and said "I am not a skunk!" or something similar. I'm beginning to see your point, I guess she wanted to get shot....

Seriously, she probably shouldn't have been there in the first place but yeah, since she was she should have been more proactive, I agree with that.

Seriously? It doesn't sound like she was exactly going through the redneck's trash cans.

 

How far away and/or drunk do you need to be to mistake a 4' child for a skunk?

Didn't realize you were being serious.

 

In that case, no, she is not to blame. It was a Halloween party, there was a bonfire, probably some booze. She was somewhere on the property on the down slope of a hill I guess. As someone with a gun, you always have to positively id what you're shooting. A feather floating around down in the woods is not a positive id, especially considering there are a bunch of people in costumes and kids are running around.
