Wrong, liberals are in favor of stricter gun laws that only law abiding people will be following anyway. The two criminals with guns, like the ones in this story, will always have their guns no matter what laws you try and pass.

Criminals with guns are the problem, they are the ones who are using guns specifically to kill people and commit robberies, rape, kidnappings etc... If only liberals were as hell bent on enforcing our laws, and as hard nosed on criminals as they are when it comes to their hatred and fanaticism against "gun lovers."

Mocking, making light or making fun of death, or a grieving parent is wrong.
So why are the streets so "mean?" Could part of the reason be that maybe the street is filled with messed up kids from broken, dysfunctional, baby momma homes? I'm not saying that children raised in a two parent home is the end-all fix, but if the overwhelming norm is baby mommas with children from multiple fathers, living in poverty, then it sure sets the stage for "mean streets."

2 thugs were killed and it can be argued that they got the reward that they earned. Parents, even great parents can often be blind to the misdeeds of their own children. I won't mock the woman's grief, but I will say that she is wrong.

I know, that comment was directed to people who thought it's funny.

That was a troll statement you responded to, meant to get a less than desirable response from you so they could troll some more, it happens in the forums all the time. Someone makes an audacious comment, which is followed by more rhetoric, best thing to do is either use the ignore feature or don't respond.

Just as this is.

Best thing to do is not to get sucked into a thread hijack attempt.

Yep. People in an instance like this where they are grieving will say things they might not otherwise. That doesn't mean it isn't her mindset and that mindset led in part to the problems but I'm not going to condemn a mother for saying something like this after her son was just killed.

Sounds like Darwinian selection did the job. It's a shame the mother and father were so incapable that they raised an animal like this, that had to be put down while attacking and terrorizing other people. From what I read, no innocent people were hurt, it's all good.

Drug addiction can be a nasty thing. Great parents have had their kids fall into addiction. Not even a great parent is capable of changing an addicts behavior.
