The children's mother was in another room feeding lunch to three or four other children when the shooting occurred, Cantrell said.
If it turns out the kid has issues, knew what he was doing, and is likely to do same again, sure. I’m sorry but a kid that goes and gets a pistol and blows his sisters brains out is not normal. Lifelong incarceration is probably cruel. Release him and make him your neighbor, around your kids or grandkids but keep him far from mine.
My husband was in law enforcement for 35 years. Our kids grew up with guns in the house. Most of his personal weapons were in a safe, but his service revolver was kept in the coat closet top shelf.
The kids knew and probably their friends knew and yet not once did any of them ever express any interest in the gun. My kids would have some pretty heated arguments but the worst of it (thank God), was when they slammed their bedroom doors.
How times change.
Lemonjelo’s twin brother is named Orangelo...
>> Blame it on the parentS ...
ParentS, as in two parents/dad in the home?
The kid’s name was Dijonae.
Thank you LBJ.
Of course he bought it from the NRA's online kids gun store or at a yoofs gun show. /s
The shooter was an out of control African-American boy from a fatherless welfare household.
The same kind that are shooting up $hitcago.
“The kids in our house knew *where* the guns were located, yet we would not EVER touch them without mom and dad around. We would still be punished now...decades and decades later.”
Same in our house growing up, same in my
house. I introduced my kids at an early
age to shooting. They witnessed first
hand the destructive power that even
a small caliber weapon can deliver.
They knew where the guns were, but
had a healthy respect for them, and were
never touched without permission.
This nine year old suffers from bad
parenting. Sad.
