Father beats his 21 month old daughter to death out of jelousy

REALLY getting sick of this demented shit. This comes right after reading about that trailer trash mother who went online looking for people to rape and kill her daughter while she watched. How exactly do people get so sick in the head to begin with? I feel like it's a cop out blaming it all on drugs or prior abuse.

"Ryan Lawrence, 25, pleaded guilty Thursday to first-degree murder in a plea deal with Onondaga County prosecutors. Lawrence admitted beating to death his 21-month-old daughter Maddox outside Syracuse in February. Authorities say he burned the girl's body in a fire pit, then tied the remains to a cinder block that he dumped in Onondaga Creek in Syracuse.

The nicest girl in my school choir was beaten to death and dumped in a field for forgetting her house keys. Barely made the local news.

He bashed her head against a tree because her crying annoyed him.

He died, victim of some frontier justice, in Kentucky in 1799.

As Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes:

"What has been is what will be,
and what has been done is what will be done,
and there is nothing new under the sun."

5. Trailer Trash?

No matter how outraged we are can we please not use the N word
and all other ignorance such as Trailer Trash? PLEASE?
Can we not use "white trash"or any other elitist rage?
Can we decide this and make it official on the DU?

Where you grew up and were raised does not dictate your soul, or
being. However, without Single Payer non-profit health care and
and a national mental health policy and funding, we will continue to see all manner of brutality and true insanity. This is acceptable neglect through lack of policy and funding. IT IS INTENTIONAL.

When profits come before clean water, air, soil, food and health care we will have brains that are imbalanced, sick and horrific.
Monsanto ducking out is indicative.The neglect of our water
for profit is indicative.

We do not look after our children or give them proper treatment or health care. They grow up to act out every horror and imbalance one can dare imagine. We have the forensic psychiatry to treat this, to prevent this. WE CHOSE NOT TO.
Huge numbers "fall through the cracks", more like earthquake
worthy sink holes. And it's all good as long as the Markets
keep clicking onward. Tax havens are strong. No one is held responsible to pay for the destruction caused.

Too often the perpetrators are just neglected victims not properly treated coming home to roost. Everyone who works in the field knows this. A person does not just wake up one morning and decide to feed their new born to the family German Shepard. Family, co-workers , neighbors all know Cra Cra, but there is no
ECONOMIC WILL to change this in our society because "it costs money", and freedom democrazy constitution paranoia conspiracy blah blah.

In the future Amurkia will be looked at as a society stuck in the thought forms of the 18th Century too long to save it's self and its people.

The disparity in health care has only begun to be addressed, while other more civilized countries and societies do far better than the USA with these issues. Every time a horror emerges we get the
outrage and anger. And the blame and the polarization according to race, or culture or economic disparity. Mass murdering little children in our schools is globally well known.

At the bottom of it all is a lack of will to change this to reap
the profits and control. We are sadly manipulated being lead to
apathy and hopelessness. While the DorkFucks in the house get
paid richly to be Dork Fucks to keep it that way.More concerned with their own secrets and legal vulnerabilities, self interest. Most not believing a word of what they spew forth to hold passe economic and policy lines.

As in, Hey Martha McSally if you REALLY cared for women you would not vote against Planned Parenthood. Getting a nice plot for the Fly Girl Grandma in Arlington is great, but there are living women and girls out here that NEED community health care. And you know it.

It doesn't take much to see this is all about slowing down change
as much as possible for profit. It is an obstructionist policy.

So let's not disparage those who live in modular housing, and those who never get mental and physical health care who act out in insane actions of brutality and unspeakable violence . Mental illness is a reality in Amurika on an epidemic level well
financed by a gun lobby that KNOWS a good chunk of it's representatives could not pass a screening

And YES my family owns guns but we will gladly hand them over if asked. You see, our "2nd Amendment Rights" are NOT more important than public safety and the lives of children. Every sane ADULT knows this. As to the "founding fathers" they had dense intellects at that time not able to see slaves or women as equal human beings, so maybe it's time to change some that. Ya think? Oh wait,we don't have a mental health policy to be able to do that.

We live in a capitalist economy. NOT a democracy or society. There are "acceptable casualties" in this for those who HAVE. We neglect our people who are severely ill intentionally.

It is a CHOICE. The sick murder children in unspeakable ways and
STILL we have no sane gun policy .Any one who says or feels
"their 2nd amendment rights are more important than the death of one child" is a sociopath "who fell through the cracks".
You see, being a Sociopath is a good thing in Amurika, the
compromised House is full of them. The mentally ill who act out violently didn't just appear to do these unspeakable acts.
Our "leaders" are well aware they are out there. And they are used
to promote fear and exhaustion in the population.

We have the ability to address all of this and improve quality of life for all. Amurika chooses NOT TO and to blame the victims of
a truly sociopathic agenda. Every coroner, forensic psychiatrist
out there knows this. Our system of government is obsolete and cannot address the conditions and problems we all live in NOW.

We do not need any more guns or "founding fathers" and their 18th century world view. It is dysfunctional. It is time for the rest of us to change to change this. We are in the 21st Century, already. ENOUGH! So...

My Heart is with Bernie, but Hillary gets my vote.
FOR THE CHILDREN WHO NEED IT MOST.
The children must be put before adults obsessed with fear and self interest. This is what all sane adults are supposed to do.
We need emotional maturity more than anything now in our
society. And those of us who HAVE received good health care and a decent education to put the planet, children, animals and all of life before our own dreams of a faster track. We have to work with
WHAT IS and keep the movement going forward. For me the deciding factor is what is best for my grandchildren's generation.
My grandchildren and children have lived in trailers. THEY ARE NOT TRASH.

I lived in a trailer until just recently. And I become outraged when someone uses the term "trailer trash." I am a single retired woman living on social security. I bought a mobile home and was able to save a lot of money since I did not have a mortgage and only had lot rent and utilities as my only expenses.
