A hard enough life already for those kids.

His “need” was a brain transplant.

Oh that’s so pathetic! Those poor babies! We know they’re with the Lord now, their struggles are over, but Lord comfort their families I pray.

I have a feeling that mother is going to end up in jail for giving her son that gun for his birthday. That seems to be a trend nowadays, especially Oregon.

Strangely enough, Oregon has very lax criminal laws regarding parental involvement in the transfer or use of a firearm by a minor child, in the commission of a crime.

‘special needs’ is a label that brings in billions for the big medical-pharmaceutical-educational-fedschool-welfare complex in leftist run states.

they have every reason to exploit the vulnerable and fallen and keep that money flowing. there’s a lot to this story we don’t know yet. however, thank God and His Foreknowledge in placing an armed, skilled, and courageous Dad in a position to stop that mad, messed up, possibly drugged up kid.

And we thought that shoving God out of our culture was a good idea...

What is the deal with moms giving their crazy kids guns?

This is what happened at Sandy Hook as well.

Do they think it will make up for not having a Dad around?

The shooter had special needs but neither his mother nor his school made any attempt to provide treatment.

The way SHE and her adult children died is a hoot.
Some of her own atheist members came for her with strangling cords, then cut them into pieces with a chain saw, then beat the pieces to pulp and buried her in the Texas desert.
She was ID’d by an artificial hip with a serial number on it.

She had been planning to go to oppose a visit by the pope but disappeared with all the atheist money converted to gold.
Everyone thought she was in New Zealand.
The gold was never recovered.

I wonder,
Did Madelyn Murray O’Hair
cry out to the God and
His Son that she denied?

I wonder

If she didn’t...

That is so shocking to me. Obviously the mother was an idiot to give her special-needs child at 16 a gun. But I’m so sick and tired of these parents getting put in jail for it. It’s just another way to pass on personal responsibility. I’m thrilled that a liberal state like Oregon has smartened up at least on this.

“ It’s just another way to pass on
personal responsibility.”

Maybe that’s what
“It takes a village”
was all about.

When you make everyone
responsible, no one is responsible.
