Smacks of typical rampant LIBERALISM. Nobody is responsible for their OWN ACTIONS. The shooter was an ADULT. Leave it to CNN to spray liberalism all over any situation that the radical left will try and take advantage of.
No.
She didn’t commit the crime, she isn’t responsible for the choices her adult son made.
God isn’t going to send her to Hell for choices he made, and neither should we.
It seemsto me that there’s only one person responsible for this crime and he’s already dead.
The Oregon shooter’s mother was probably overwhelmed long ago, from the demands made upon her trying to keep some kind of rein on a very troubled youth.
Was the son mentally troubled? The signs would have been obvious early on, but he certainly did not have a very high degree of social adjustment. Apparently of an above-average degree of intelligence, but ZERO impulse control, often giving into frustration and with a very low threshold.
Until you have lived with this 24/7, you cannot imagine the stress it creates. Even with guidance, it is a rough old cob to have to deal with, and if you don’t know what steps to take or how to damp down the mood swings, things can get outta control pretty quickly.
"Need" is not a legitimate part of a discussion about a God-given right.
Lanza did his mother a favor.If he let her live she would be covered in 3rd degree burns from being raked over the coals.
Maybe he wasn’t that looney after all.
His DahDah is also to blame, Big Time.
Am I the only one bothered by this? What business did the police have "recovering" any firearms other than the six at the scene? His mother may have been an ass, but it doesn't appear that she broke any laws, but yet the police are depriving her of her property and her ability to defend herself. This appears to violate the fourth amendment - something that government does all the time these days.
“Now that it has become almost 100% obvious that the shooter’s black mother provider 100% of the guns used by her son, CNN begins publishing excuses for the mother’s action.”
Once you go white, you’ll never be right.
Another article from the mainstream with no photos of mom.
Do I need to wonder why?
Aside from the shooter, I hold responsible those who oppose any restrictions on carrying a handgun for personal, family OR community defense.
That’s it!
Keep your eyes out for the media attempting to link Trump to the shooter. Note that Trump’s picture is next to this article with a “related story” tag. Last night I saw a similar Daily Mail article that stated she read her son Art of the Deal - it was even in the freakin’ headline!
‘He’s no babbling idiot nor is his life worthless’: Mother of Oregon college shooter defended him to fellow gun enthusiasts and told how she read to him from Donald Trump’s Art of The Deal

Look up Andrew Ellmaker. He lived with his mother, was unstable, had knives and chain saws in his room and murdered his social worker.
No, no, no! The mother is black. The dad is white so HE is the one that the Left should find guilty. After all, SHE is a victim of racism and oppression.
All the guns in the rampage and at home were legally purchased.
He son was 26 yrs old.
She is a Donald Trump fan. ...read "Art of the Deal" to her son when younger.
Her current husband is an avid hunter and ex-military.
Doesn't sound like someone CNN would be making excuses for.
In fact, the last sentence reveals her gun-grabbing agenda.
And such events will continue to occur if the resources for people such as Laurel Harper, and the laws for who can own guns (and how many), do not change. There's a bigger problem in this country than one irresponsible mother, and I think most of us know that.
Absolutely.
If she helped in the planning or gave him a directive, then yes.
Otherwise this is just another way to scare people into getting rid of their guns.
NO SALE!
