Sounds like Pops too really good care in training his children how to use a firearm.

Much to his detriment.

A week ago, the 43-year-old Ball was released on bail on felony charges of sexual assault, incest and assault with a deadly weapon. Further details on those charges were not immediately available.

Look out...she'll probably be charged with 2nd degree murder, since he was SLEEPING. Thank God she shot the bastard...think of how much money and effort she saved the judicial system. A rabid dog is simply put down, so should it be with humans who serve notice on society that they are not fit to live amongst us.

Good Lord, lighten the burden on these girls' souls. Give them faith.

These girls were scared to death. They believed they were going to die," he said, adding that no charges were pending against them.

lets hope they keep it this way

[Delta 21]

Totally FUBAR

I'm crying a river for this guy (not).

What a tragedy for these girls. First, their father was in jail for sexually abusing them in the past. Then, they see their father shoot their mother, they are kidnapped, sexually assaulted again, and one of them shoots and kills the father. Good God, these girls are going to need so much help.

It's a good thing she killed him. When he sobered up and realized how much trouble he was in, he might have killed the girls and then killed himself.

[jwpjr]

We are a country of laws. The proper way to handle this is for the girl to be charged without regard to the circumstances of the shooting then let a judge or jury find her innocent. This is an open and shut case. It's not good to saddle the State Attorney's office with making judgment calls regarding felonies. All things being equal, and they never are, she had every right to shoot him, but the next case may not be so clear cut. We have a system for handling these situations and to fail to use it because it's an 'easy' case puts us on a slippery slope. The prosecutor deserves the protection of the law, next time it might be really important.

[Oztrich Boy]

Oh damn.Sarah Brady and Josh Sugarman have got another example of guns are a menace because most firearm victims are killed by members of their own family or people they know.

DSAF----Did society a favor award

Cindy Ball [the mother] underwent surgery Wednesday and was listed in stable condition at the hospital.

Glad she'll be OK.

Glad the "dad" is dead, too, though it beggars the imagination to learn that the ass-f*** was actually realeased on bail. I think a judge should be tarred and feathered over this.

[ServesURight]

This poses a dilemma to liberals. As champions of the children, should they support the girl's shooting of her old man? Or do they rant against the gun?

Decisions, decisions.....

"No, your Honor, he wasn't asleep; I woke him up and shot his a$$."

[Brimack34]

Any bets O'Reilly goes after the judge in this one. And the left will bitch that he was unarmed.
