CHILD OF GUN ENTHUSIAST MAKES NEW FRIENDS AT INTENSIVE CARE UNIT
Richmond, VA—In a heartfelt gesture of admiration, local nurses and assistants at St. Michael’s Hospital for Children delivered a get well package for six year-old Timmy Brewster that uplifted his spirits and sent shudders of excitement through his phantom leg.
“We gave him a basket full of toys, games and puzzles to help keep his mind occupied during this difficult time, “Head Nurse Joan Percy quoted. “He’s been quite brave throughout this whole ordeal.”
Timmy’s father, Jerome Brewster of Richmond, is a well-renowned pro-gun activist and community organizer for a local chapter of the National Rifle Association. While hard at work petitioning locals to lift restrictive gun laws, Timmy found his way into an unsecured closet full of firearms. In a hilarious and completely unexpected turn of events, the young boy managed to completely blow off approximately three-fourths of his left leg.
Jerome Brewster declined to comment, and only made machine gun noises over the phone when we tried to speak to him, but little Timmy was able to say this while temporarily conscious in the Intensive Care Unit at St. Michael’s Hospital.
“I really, really want my leg back. I can’t play with just one.”
