A Stow MA
resident, Thomas G. Marshall, is under multiple indictments for having
started what eventually became the wide spread targeting with pellet
guns of boys walking around with their underwear showing. What started
colloquially as "Shoot them in the Ass Monday", or "SAM", quickly spread
from Mondays in the rural town of Stow Massachusetts to every day of
the week in 9 neighboring states, with participants estimated to be in
the thousands.
The numbers of victims remains unestimated, however emergency rooms
region wide are reporting a dramatic increase in pellet wound cases.
The
Middlesex County District Attorney Gerard T. Leone Jr. indicated
Tuesday that he was required to seek the
indictments despite the fact that not one parent was willing to
press charges. He pointed out that this was a situation where the law
had to be maintained for safety reasons. The District Attorney further remarked that 4 of the parents
had created legal defense funds for the Stow Resident.
A police officer in Stow who wished to remain unnamed commented
"This guy became a local hero. His house is deluged with people
attempting to shake his hand and have their picture taken with him. We
are continually asking people to move along. We may need to hire an
additional officer temporarily if this continues."
When asked how the idea came to him in the first place, Mr. Marshall
commented simply, "As an engineer I've solved problems all my life."
