Anger, disbelief grip Brunswick after toddler’s shooting
Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | 3/23/13 | Rhonda Cook

two teenage boys shoot a sleeping baby, Kimberly Anderson was still wondering a couple of days after hearing gunshots and a distraught, wailing mother outside her home here.

Since Thursday morning, when a 14-year-old and a 17-year-old allegedly shot 13-month-old Antonio Santiago, Anderson and others in the usually quiet neighborhood in this coastal city have been trying to wrap their minds around a senseless crime that has been played out over and over in the media.

In Brunswick, a town of 15,000 residents off I-95 in southeast Georgia near St. Simons Island, neighbors initially shared rumors about who was responsible and feared how the community would react. After Brunswick police announced Friday the arrest on murder charges of De’marquis Elkins, 17, and a 14-year-old whose name was not released, anger continued to simmer over the brutality of an infant shot to death in his stroller.

“It makes you wonder what their home life is like. Why they thought it was OK to carry a gun,”

Yes, yes. Had Demarquis not had a gun he would not have been an evil turd.

“‘Those bad people who did this thing need to have the same thing happen to them,’” Jones said her 8-year-old daughter said. “I said, ‘Gabrielle, we don’t do that. They have to go to court.’”

The kid makes more sense than her mom. De’Marquise (and people like him) don’t respect law, they respect force.

the Jacksons, Sharptons, Farrakhans and others to hate
Whitey and blame him for everything rotten about their own

This was a news story on KLBJ AM, the conservative news talk source in Austin. One listener called in and asked why they had not discussed the race of the perp or victim. One host finally said that the victim was light colored or Hispanic and both perps were black. The black callers went NUTS after that.

The father is strange not to blame the killers and the mother is strange too - so composed and matter-of-fact in the interviews, not a tear on her face, no rage, voice not hoarse, no disbelief. Packing her baby’s things up already. Maybe she is fulfilling what she sees as the public mother-of-the-victim role; maybe she has had enough experience with loss to behave in a practiced manner.

Even doing CPR on your baby shot in the face is a little unusual - I’d expect someone without medical experience to be holding her baby to her breast and screaming “no” and praying.

I don’t want to judge because grief is different for everybody...but their reactions are so foreign to me.

plus the mother is going back to New Jersey where her siblings live... to the same town where her 18-year old son was stabbed to death??? did i read that right?

Sort of right but you missed the part of the story where it said that the 18-year old was actually killed in self defense. He was part of a group that attacked another group and because of that the killer was never charged.

was daddy even in that baby's life?..I'll bet not...if the mother lived in that neighborhood, between two projects, she probably has little money herself...

I'll bet there was no marriage with the daddy, and daddy probably has a lawless history himself....

These evil bass turds shot a 13 month old in the face and the moronic, braindead buffoons in the sewer on the hill in the District of Corruption think that guns are the problem. They’ve done way too many drugs over their lifetimes.

The animals who did the actual murder are so low that they can’t even be considered human. They should just be exterminated outright.

Once the country collapses there will be a prison purge or they will just be hunted out in the open.

Let’s call it what it is, people. It’s the real “homegrown terrorism”.

That's exactly what it is...and the underlying cause/driving force is pure Satanic hatred.

The only reason I can think of that the father might be blaming the mother is that he knows a reason why the mother was back in that neighborhood he kept warning her about.

But that's just speculation.

Kill the shooter and his sidekick.

There's already a FB page to save the shooter, Demarquise Elkins.

"THIS PAGE IS TO SAVE THE LIFE OF AN INNOCENT CHILD! SO MANY ARE QUICK TO JUDGE..."

Well, the first one was Karen, (a regular race baiter, whitey hater) and she compared this to when Saint Trayvon Martin was shot. One of the hosts told her, "Lady, the victim was in a stroller, not on top of De’marquis pounding his head into the pavement".

Several others called and agreed with her. Still others said it was the mother's fault. She should have known they were in a "bad neighborhood".
