WHITE PINE (WATE) — A shooting Saturday evening in White Pine left an 8-year-old girl dead and an 11-year-old boy arrested on first-degree murder charges.

. . .

Latasha Dyer said her daughter was outside playing when her next door neighbor, an 11-year-old boy, asked to see her puppy. She said her daughter told the boy “no” and shortly after the 11-year-old boy shot her.

A little piece of vermin that needs to go away forever.

Location?

Tennessee (could’t tell from “White Pine” and “Wate”).

A trailer park in the Knoxville, TN area. The victim was white, regardless of her mother’s name. No indication of the race of the perp. My own guess is he is a truly vile little piece of subhuman debris that was into a lot of evil stuff before this. Let’s pray he’s sent away for many, many years, regardless of his race. After all, Ted Bundy was white and this thing looks like an aspiring Bundy wannabe.

For reasons that aren't relevant to my point, I've been taking the bus a couple of times a week in the last month or two. This is in a middle to upper-middle class suburb of Seattle. It is shocking how many derelicts, druggies, crazies, etc., are on the bus EVERY TIME.

It seems that liberalism has created in the last four decades a HUGE underclass of unemployable, weird people. Maybe I'm forgetting how it used to be, but it seems that the number of these people has grown in leaps and bounds.

Amen.

I’m wondering what kind of parents leave a loaded shotgun (or an unloaded shotgun with available shells) where an obviously unbalanced 11 year old can access it.

You’re not forgetting.

Grandson, or techically even a great grandson.

Very sad news. The father should be charged for leaving the shotgun in a place where the boy could access the gun. And, knowing that the boy had bullying tendencies, the mother has some measure of guilt in not supervising the boy more closely. He was looking for trouble when he asked to see her puppy.

The father should be in the same prison as the 11 year old.
In Florida criminal liability applies to the parent if the firearm is used.
Send them to prison for a loooong time!

Headline is interesting. “Elementary student”. Had nothing to do with a school though. Sad for this little girl and her family.

[Popman]

Dollars to donuts this kid was on some sort of mental drugs, pushed by the school to control this little monster...

“It seems that liberalism has created in the last four decades a HUGE underclass of unemployable, weird people.”

And we are importing tens of thousands more of them. Years ago, these people would have starved to death in the gutter. Today the government supports them and allows more of them to enter the country.

“He was looking for trouble when he asked to see her puppy.”

A pure evil little thing like this doesn’t get that way over night. My guess is he had a large and growing disciplinary record at school. He’d already bullied the little girl, who was three years his junior. My guess is she rightfully feared for the puppy’s welfare if she let him have it, possibly suspecting him of being a Bundy wannabe. Horribly, he then went Bundy all the way. Let’s hope he stays put away for the rest of his evil life. If not, he’ll murder far more innocent people.

I live in Pierce county and have been thinking the exact same thing recently.

It has to be part of why employers have become so dependent on immigrant labor. Foreigners weren’t brought up in the toxic social stew that American life has become since about 1965.

Of course, their kids grow up with this crap and start to act just as crazy. I work mostly with foreign born coworkers these days and some are beginning to wonder if they should just go back home.

I also go down to Portland a lot for shopping. Even the upscale neighborhoods are becoming overrun with derelicts and the local government refuses to help business owners.

I’m convinced cities like Seattle and Portland are just asking to become Detroit.

I mentioned the bus, and I suppose you might find a lower-income level there, but even going to my local Fred Meyer, there are people who basically do their personal hygiene in the men's room (at least they CARE about personal hygiene!), and there are people hanging out on the front bench all day, people with "homeless vet" signs at the driveway, vacant-eyed people roaming the aisles, people living in cars around the fringes of the store, and people who just look unemployable, e.g., white or black young men with saggy pants, hoodies, a street dialect, and seemingly no hope for change or improvement.

The other day, I was sitting in a Subway store and there was a man going through the garbage can in front of the store, looking for food. Ten minutes later, I was in a 7-11 and a baggy-panted young man tried to buy a soda, but had no money - maybe he was hoping for a freebee, just so the clerk would be rid of him. In my local bar, a man comes in several times a week and buys or begs one cigarette from the bartender. People go through the ashtray outside the restaurant, looking for the stubs of partially-smoked cigarettes. These people are legion, and this is a relatively comfortable suburb.

"I’m wondering what kind of parents leave a loaded shotgun (or an unloaded shotgun with available shells) where an obviously unbalanced 11 year old can access it."

And I'm wondering why the press has made NO inquiries why the mother of the Oregon shooter allowed her unbalanced son to maintain a cache of guns in her small apartment. Usually, the press is quick to jump on cases of parental neglect or bad judgment, but this woman seems immune from that scrutiny. My guess is that its because she's black, and that would confuse the narrative that the media are trying to present about this tragedy, e.g., "white supremacist".

I can vouch for Portland more than I know Seattle. Portland is a sinkhole of tie-dyed, pony tailed, hippie, drug addled puss. I would not recommend it to my worst enemy.

Seattle is vying for at least a tie in that matter.
