Thought about putting it in the Weird News Story du Jour thread when I realised it was more appropriate here. If only this were legal.

A MEMPHIS man is facing aggravated assault charges for shooting a teenager in the buttocks after he refused to pull up his baggy pants.
Kenneth Bonds, 45, was charged on two counts of assault on Saturday and was being held on $25,000 bond, reported The Commercial Appeal.
Bonds fired shots at two teenagers, ages 16 and 17 after he yelled at them to pull up their baggy pants and the teens refused.
Using a semiautomatic pistol, Bonds fired at 17-year-old and missed. The teens ran as Bonds fired more shots, hitting the younger teen in the buttock. The bullet exited his thigh.
The injured teen was treated at two local hospitals.
