Waiting for justice my ass. I guess they would be alive if they stayed home with their kids. Life is all about decisions you make.

Victims were "working class" folks "struggling to survive." Uh huh. But they have $$ for nightclubbing. I've got an 11-year-old. I haven't been to a movie theater in 12 years.
Yes, it is all about the decisions.

Give me a break - Some of the most ugly comments I've ever seen on FR - Yes, working class people with Children do, can (and should) fine time to get out once in a while!

That does not mean they deserve to die...or if they do die while stepping outside the home for a bit...that it is in someway less tragic.

Your tone is simply ugly and needless.

[Graymatter]

Don't put words in my fingers, pal. I never wrote that they deserved to die. If your reading comprehension skills are that poor, "fine" somebody else to misconstrue.

Amen - and, anyway, it's the kids that are the victims needing help

I have to to say you've got a point there, when our kids were young we ordered take out and rented movies. Only within the past few years (4 or so)have we gone out for the evening. To dinner, not a nightclub. Our kids are now 18 & 20!

[SevenMinusOne]

I did not put words in your fingers - Your tone speaks for itself -

And that tone is ugly and needless. Period.

Lighten up! LOL!

[SevenMinusOne]

Lighten up! LOL!

There is nothing of humor or good spirits regarding either the ramifications of the article....nor of the fellow freeprers posted comments -

Odd for you to even suggest the need to lighten up - I have as good a sense of humor as the next guy - This however, was in no way, shape, or form even a arena for one's levity to come into play.

[HairOfTheDog]

Your tone is simply ugly and needless.

Agreed, Devsix.... Good grief. "No parent should ever go "out" for the evening." How heartless and arrogant. Who are you intending to slap, these kids? Or the dead?

[HairOfTheDog]

Alice, I think you took a wrong turn.... the LOL thread is right next door.

[alice_in_bubbaland]

Give this man a beer! It's Saturday night CHILL OUT man!

No one is implicating that what happened was not a tragedy and these kids do not need help, I'm sure the guardians are collecting SSI. This was a Heavy Metal Rock show. What I think what was implied was that the Parents should have been acting like parents not teenagers.

How utterly ridiculous - These were simply husbands and wives getting outside the house ...going to some dive bar and laughing about old times (not clubbing!) -

By your logic there should be no over 40 softball, basketball or flag footballs leagues - My god, these people are acting like teenagers....not parents.

Please.

[alice_in_bubbaland]

Tell that to the flamers!!!!!!!!!

[alice_in_bubbaland]

GROW UP!

[Graymatter]

[alice_in_bubbaland]

Must be a Limo Lib! Plenty of $$$$ to throw around!

Real parents make sacrifices for their kids!

[SevenMinusOne]

Real parents make sacrifices for their kids!

So now going out to a dive bar means you don't sacrifice for your kids? What utterly perverse logic.

You are a rock.

[alice_in_bubbaland]

Don't mind them, I know where your coming from! So uptight and leaning to the left!
