Grumpy Old Man - Hands Out Lesson

This story made me laugh, I know I shouldn't have, because it involves violence which resulted in five people being taken to hospital, two of whom were seriously injured ...

... but I couldn't help having some sympathy for the old codger with a bad temper.

It appears that a 70-year-old Senegalese man felt, that the young people who were at a concert, were insulting him with their songs, and began shooting at them with a hunting rifle at Lobaly village, after he felt that they had ignored his warning not to sing "Pa' Tang Xol" (Angry Old Men), by popular Senegalese artist Baaba Mal .

He was apparently so 'pissed off' with the concert goers, that he shot at them knowing that his own children were in the crowd, who fortunately for him were not amongst the injured.
