Brunswick, Georgia (CNN) -- The fatal shooting of a 13-month-old boy in his stroller marked the second time mother Sherry West lost a son to violence, she said Saturday.

Her 18-year-old son was stabbed to death in 2008 in New Jersey, she told CNN.

"This is the second child that people have taken from me in a tragic way," West said. "I'm so afraid to have any more babies now. I tried to raise really good kids in a wicked world."

She was in the wrong place at the wrong time and the poor child lost his life because of that.

It was 9:00 in the morning when all little thugs are supposed to be in school and it was a residential neighborhood of upscale older homes. Get real --

I’d like to know exactly what racist egged on this kid to kill a white baby.


It’s called social studies; multiculturalism; hate and blame whitey; vote demonrat.

You’re right. When TSHTF, it will be very bad.

Uncle Chip: just to clarify the ‘nice’ neighborhood is small just a couple.blocks wide and maybe three long.

These were the homes of the managers and shop owners of ‘downtown’ Brunswick which is kinda quaint old America small town main street, kinda gentrified.

The shipyard managers lived here also.

The area immediately to the east and north is graph paper streets of ‘shotgun’ homes.

In a more uniformly civilized world she should have been safe where she was, without an expectation of mortal danger.

The problem is not the Mom’s morning behaviour. The problem lies with the EVIL perps and the social programs that enable him.

The 1st day she said she blocked and guarded the baby “with her arms” and he “shoved her aside and shot the baby in the head” and she “gave the baby CPR” But how do you give CPR to a baby shot “in the face “ ???

I havent seen that version since...

apparantly she was grazed on the head and shot in the leg...2 shots...

That’s the point I was trying to make, that it wasn’t the mom’s fault.

I don’t get how you could read what I posted as putting the blame on the mom. Random murders and violent crimes are committed on people that happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, that’s ALL I meant, for REAL.

Because it suggests that she was to blame somehow. Or that it was just fate. If that’s the case then let the little thug go as it is not his fault — it was fate.

Maybe in your mind but I am not suggesting fate or that the thugs go free. I don’t know why you are picking my statement apart to accuse me of thoughts I don’t have.

The first time I read of this the Mail in the FR post said it was “early in the morning”

thats 1, 2AM to me

I thought “whats she doing walking down the street with her baby in his stroller at that hour ???

Then I read later that it was 9AM and she was coming home from the Post Office

The British reporter must still be asleep at that time or something...

9AM is a perfectly acceptable time to be walking your baby in his stroller after a visit to the PO...

There doesnt appear to be anything amiss in her actions etc...

except for the way she talked later...

“Im afraid to have any more babies”

and that Baby Daddy...too...

“Im doing OK”

weird...both of them...

no concern for the baby...

But how do you give CPR to a baby shot “in the face “

The same way it is done for a baby not shot in the face

I havent seen that version since...

Read the 911 calls. Atleast one of the callers reports her laying the baby on the ground and giving him CPR.

apparantly she was grazed on the head and shot in the leg...2 shots...

4 shots. The video of the shot in the leg has been shown on the news. A small caliber handgun. Forensics can readily distinguish a self-inflicted wound from one administered by a thug.

I meant the version where she tried to protect the baby and was shoved aside...

I’m surprised no one, as far as I’ve read, has brought up King Shamir Shabazz and the NBPP. Anyhow, that’s why I finally posted.

Being as how Shabazz is under the apparent protection of our Attorney General, all this will just slide away. If you follow a major faction of CNN posters, the mother is more likely to go to jail than the perp whose family is claiming he was with them at the time of the shooting.

why dont you take a break for a while and consider getting married first next time...

Nope - try again. This is one of those 'weep with those who weep' moments...

Sabrina Elkins, the sister of the older suspect in the baby’s slaying, said Friday evening that ... [t]ypically, he would come by her house in the morning and they’d go to breakfast.

http://news.yahoo.com/police-arrest-2-teens-georgia-babys-killing-002743417.html

Katrina Freeman said Saturday the shooter can’t be her nephew, Elkins, because he showed up at her house Thursday at 8:15 a.m. — roughly an hour before the killing. She said she cooked eggs, grits and sausage for breakfast and that Elkins accompanied her and her children to run errands when they left at about 11:30 a.m.

“He was with us the whole time,” said Freeman, adding that she gave police the same account of her nephew’s whereabouts.

So Aunt Katrina, would you like to explain that???

Then they could legally do it all day long and make big bucks too.

It wouldn't be any fun if it was legal. The whole thing is about overthrowing the rule of law.
