persecution. Much of the energy in today's America is spent on divisiveness. Often I wonder WTF is today's American trying to accomplish? More deaths, bigotry and persecution or what. The crap today's youth have to contend with is incredible. TPTB are often concerned with getting them, over there, but really, America needs to hold a mirror up to itself and question just what is going on at home. America's most dangerous enemy is often America itself.

So much derision, sarcasm, condescension, and ridicule right here among liberals and progressives...it's sad, really.

Thanks for the reminder...

There are on-going widespread efforts encouraging safe storage of firearms. Perhaps, child-on-child crimes involving guns is part of a wider community/culture of crime.

Are we talking about 4yo girl shot by her 8yo brother that found dad's gun?

Or are we talking about 14yo drug dealer shot by rival 16yo drug dealer?




All minor related shooting victims aren't created equal.

Both are horribly tragic. I think it is important to ask what would lead a 14 year old to sell drugs and be in that position?

"Two law enforcement officials with knowledge of the investigation said police think two groups of men were arguing outside an apartment building when at least one pulled a gun and began shooting. The third-grader was struck by a stray round, they said."

Police said the child was in critical but stable condition Friday night.

This makes me sick.

shooting and killing as the first and ONLY response has become the norm.

Working through solutions...no that is too wussy.
at first sense of infringement, insult or threat, immediate and total physical retaliation is the only solution.

Look at the loud music murder trial: concealed carry adult is pissed over thugs' boom-boom music. he comments, they say fuck you...he pulls firearm from concealment and kills driver bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam!...over words.

I wonder if this jerk-wad would have possessed the balls to say anything at all to the teens absent the artificial nut-sack in the glove box?

You are spoiling the mood...
