Sounds like mother and son were hanging with a bad crowd.

There is no such thing as an “accidental” discharge. The operative word is NEGLIGENT.

Stigmatize children born out of wedlock and their mothers. Bring back the term ‘bastard.’

I have here on my desk a Merit Badge Series Guide to Plumbing dated 1963. Perhaps if we had much more of that kind of guidance for our youth these days. I know, I’m dreaming.

I’d rather smite them hip and thigh.

Number #5 more of less accomplished that end.

Doesn’t EVERYONE take a gun to a funeral????

Diversity is our strength.

[CodeJockey]

Birds of a feather flock together. Something the human race doesn’t seem to appreciate.

[jmacusa]

Certainly looks that way, at least in that neck of the woods.

“Doesn’t EVERYONE take a gun to a funeral????”

People watching too many damn zombie movies...

How? They are dumb as posts and proud of it.

[Sequoyah101]

Nicely put but what shold be done with them? Not encouraging them to procreate so freely would be a good start.

Earl Butz was right.

I taught at a semi-rural, predominantly white school. But a part of our population were what used to be called ‘white trash’. I’d see kids from bad backgrounds who showed a lot of promise, but the ‘swamp’ (what I called it back then) would too often drag them back down. Most of even the bright ones wouldn’t graduate high school and after a few years I’d see their names in the arrest reports. A real shame.

Bring back the term ‘bastard.’

I prefer the term, "whose parents did not have benefit of clergy."

BSA was a way for men to transmit usefull skills and values to young men who will NOT be exposed to them in school.
