This is just unbelievable and demonstrates a plague on violence and murder which appears to be woven into their culture.

A minority of Americans make the entire nation look bad. Many of us will never be disarmed because some parents refuse to raise their children properly and keep them out of gangs.

(The names these parents tack onto their children are just ridiculous!)

“The first thing I do is reach my son and I just realize he’s not moving, so I’m like, ‘What’s going on, is he asleep?,'” said Hubert Latham

I hate to sound crass, but somebody that stupid should not be having children.

"The only thing that came to my mind was, who did this?”

Who indeed.

They are asking anyone with information on the shooting to call Knoxville Police Department’s crime information line at (865) 215-7212.

Good luck with all that.

It's a fight or flight panicked confusion thing, I'm sure. The information didn't register for the parent of the dead child immediately. I'd not dwell on the immediate reaction to a parent finding their child shot in the head.

Yeah, it was crass and a little insensitive.

Keep little kids home when it is near 10:00 pm and gangs are out running wild in the area.

Seems a decent family living in “the hood”. Heartbreaking photo. If any of the kids try and get out, it seems they are targeted by the thugs. You can hear from the old movies, “You ain’t getting out of here.”

I have an acquaintance who is a trauma doc at the local downtown hospital. He says the first words out of a (conscious) person who’s been shot are “I got no idea who did this”

Obama will put a stop to it.

He’s been busy for the past seven plus years fighting for the American people and those of the world by coming out against warming the globe.

He’s also been very busy keeping his promise to put the coal companies out of business. And, it’s working. Just last week Peabody Coal filed for bankruptcy and 46,000 more Americans are filing for unemployment.

Right now he’s busy making certain the cable companies don’t rip off consumers. The bulk of his constituency don’t pay their cable bills anyway....we do.

Further, he’s making sure that America’s permanent underclass is dramatically increased by millions of illegals and thousands of Muslims. That way the negroes will feel more comfortable knowing they’re not the only ones that will participate in urban riots.

Not really. Their deaths can't be used to attack the Evil Whitey.

Zaevion

What the hell is a Zaevion? Is it some kind of subatomic particle? An experimental aircraft? An allergy medication? Who would name their child something that pretentious and stupid?

Unfortunately, it will only worsen.

Great strides backwards have been made in respect to racial harmony, thanks to the phony presidency of the worst leader since Caligula.

We should replace "Black Lives Matter" with "The Color of Crime".

Focusing on the wrong end of the equation.

Picture wasn’t really necessary.

If his mama saw a moving van right before delivery of Zaevlion, his name might have been Mayflower.
