I am still trying to get over the fact that the sixth-grade kid shot him five times with a .50 S&W, reloaded and shot him four more times.
I know grown men who can't take that much punishment.
I guess half a ton of hog in your face is a powerful motivator.
Well done, kid.

Crazed, right-wing, gun-nut assassin kills Rosie (that is what they should have named the hog).
Film at eleven.

I call shennanigans. The pig may be that big, but the picture looks suspect somehow. If you look at where the boy is sitting, it looks like he is sitting away back from the hog, making the hog look bigger. If the hog is 9 feet, it would be almost twice as long as the kid (assuming an 11 year-old is around 5 feet tall). The pig, even with its legs curled up underneath it, appears to be way bigger than that in the photo.
Also, if you look at the Hogzilla picture, Monster Pig appears to be way bigger than Hogzilla, even though they are fairly comparable in size.

It also doesn't help that dear old dad has already put up a website about Monster Pig.
Something doesn't smell right, but that's just the skeptic in me.

I've never fired the .50 S&W, but I have fired the .454 Casul and it aint no dance in park. Especially from a short barreled revolver.
Looks like the kid used the S&W 500 model with a rail mounted reflex sight. That's one hell of an 11 year old kid to pull that trigger on that bad boy 9 times wile tracking it over 3 hours.

I heard the kid on Fox News today. He seemed to be a very mature 11 year old.

Make your own conclusion
According to this article the "Wild" hog was not "Wild" at all rather, a pet, named "Fred" (Not feral)
Read for your self and make your own conclusions.
