What the?! Two Morgan State University students persuaded a friend to shoot them with a .38 "because they hoped to avoid pledging a fraternity this summer," even though they didn't have the GPA to pledge anyway. Huh? Wha? And it gets weirder: they're from out of state and "wanted to stay in Baltimore for the summer." (They must be from Camden!)

Does anyone else think that Ronald Ellison and Thomas Gauthier look alike?
So the Morgan students thought that getting shot would be less unpleasant than the frat pledging rituals??? Hazing incidents have been fatal, but still. Why I am not surprised that they didn't even have the min. GPA? And what was their friend thinking? We don't need morons manufacturing bogus crimes for the police to respond to; we have enough crimes as is. They should be expelled and deported back to Jersey.
Actually those are pictures of just one of the sex offenders, which explains why both pix look alike. There's an image of the other homeless sex offender at the bottom of WBAL's web page (click first link above).
