I thought protecting the life of a child was a conservative value.
If a kid eggs your car, confronting him and hauling him off to his parents, or maybe calling the police, might be more constructive ways to deal with the situation than murder. But hey, who am I to talk? I'm just expressing the opinion of someone who respects human life.
Hopefully, protecting the life of unborn children is still a conservative value, because children's lives after they're born don't seem to mean much to some of these so-called "conservatives."
Bleeding heart stupidity lies at the center of many of todays societal ills.
Did this kid deserve to be shot and killed? No. Did this SUV owners deserve to have his vehicle damaged? No. Who initiated the conflict? The kid. Ergo, the kid is 100% at fault for what happened to his stupid self...
Darwin wins again...
The thoroughly modern notion that 14-17 year olds are children and should essentially get out of jail free has caused no end of social problems. A post adolescent is not a child. Pretending they are empowers them to act like it, and grown bodies acting like children cause no end of mayhem. They learn for 4 or 5 years that mayhem has no consequences, until they turn 18 and are sent off to prison within months.
I hate people who victimize children, this was no child.
