Holy crap. This maniac went road-rage and fired into a car filled with children.

String him up.

Okay, okay, give him a chance to express regret. Then string him up.

There were five kids in the car he fired into while in a road rage.

Two are injured by broken glass.

And another one died.

He should never see the light of day again.

In a just world, he would stand in front of half a dozen armed officers and die in a hail of .45. Just to make sure.

Or just string him up. Save on lead.

When a MAN goes nuts and kills kids, nobody tries to defend the SOB. His murderous rage is universally condemned ... and rightly so.

When a WOMAN goes nuts and kills kids, we're supposed to be sympathetic and understand her plight.

Feminists claimed their kampf struggle was all about "equality". Seems like they were and are a little less than honest.

Good point. Maybe his testosterone was out of whack; he just couldn’t help himself.

"Crump and Sharpton are salivating."

Dumb enough to road rage, probably dirt poor.

Maybe over in Woke Liberal Bizarro World.

String him up. And string her up too. I'm all for equality of crazy-induced crimes being met with equality of criminal penalties.

We have enough people in the world already, we don't need these two. Or any like them.

Sorry, but I'm up to __HERE__ with this sh*t.
