Makes me think of all the bottle rocket and BB gun wars we had as kids, and no one ever got hurt. This little guy gets blinded by a toy arrow at 3, then a friggin’ foam nerf gun pellet costs him the entire eye at 9.

A nine-year-old boy has lost his eye after his friend shot a Nerf gun pellet, six years after he was hit in the same eye by a toy arrow.
Taylor-Jay Ravicini was left blind in one eye after he was hit with a toy arrow in a freak accident when he was three.

But it was injured further when he was struck with a foam pellet from a Nerf gun in August this year.
It left the youngster's eye so damaged that doctors said they had no choice but to remove the organ or he risked losing sight in both eyes.

That's heartbreaking. I can't help but think of my kid when looking at that picture. I would be devastated if something like that happened to my kid.

Product liability lawyers just splooged when this story hit the internet.

Real shite...get a patch and embrace it. The prosthetics just leave you with a wonky, droopy eye.
The kid can be the coolest pirate in middle school.

I mean, that kid definitely has the look of "whatever, it was fricked anyway"

That's some final destination shite. If I were him I'd wear safety glasses all the time for that other eye.

Guess he didn’t see it coming

Was cool in the eighties, women thought it was hot, guys that didn’t need a patch would wear them, think I still have mine somewhere

shite all he's got to do now is lose a leg get a parrot and he'll be a proper pirate..

He’ll learn to cope with the loss of periphery and depth perception.
Then, when he does beat other people in games and what not, he can say “you know how you spell Winner?
With One Eye.”

damn, Ralphie's mom was right

What are the odds it would happen twice to the same eye.
Posted on 12/19/18 at 4:41 pm to GeauxxxTigers23
Shouldn’t have taunted the other kids by saying he could beat them with one eye open

You should wear it to greet the passengers as they board.

Well the good news is he’ll probably get a bad arse eye patch like Dan Crenshaw. Hell they’ll probably have bionic eyes in his lifetime.

I like walking through the terminal with one of those blind “ feeler “ sticks

Didn’t some pilot just get in trouble for that at Halloween?
