Anger, disbelief grip Brunswick after toddler’s shooting
Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | 3/23/13 | Rhonda Cook

two teenage boys shoot a sleeping baby, Kimberly Anderson was still wondering a couple of days after hearing gunshots and a distraught, wailing mother outside her home here.

Since Thursday morning, when a 14-year-old and a 17-year-old allegedly shot 13-month-old Antonio Santiago, Anderson and others in the usually quiet neighborhood in this coastal city have been trying to wrap their minds around a senseless crime that has been played out over and over in the media.

In Brunswick, a town of 15,000 residents off I-95 in southeast Georgia near St. Simons Island, neighbors initially shared rumors about who was responsible and feared how the community would react. After Brunswick police announced Friday the arrest on murder charges of De’marquis Elkins, 17, and a 14-year-old whose name was not released, anger continued to simmer over the brutality of an infant shot to death in his stroller.

Has this crime truly been played out over and over in the media? I confess, I have been out of the loop for the past two days.

Of course, they’re going to blame the gun, not the one pulling the trigger.

Isn't that Obama's son (if he had one, that is)?

That's where this came from. Obama ramped up the "hate Whitey meme" and his sons are acting on it.

The sons are only partly to blame...without Obama's leadership, it would have never happened.

Oh my God. He deliberately shot this child. did i read this right. the father is blaming the mother not the POS who pointed the gun at his kid and shot him between the eyes?

that’s the narrative, “guns kill people”, not “people kill people”. It is especially not “black people kill white people”. A narrative like that would completely discredit their argumenbt that disarming law abiding citizens will somehow make them safer.

I’m looking into the eyes of the suspect and seeing nothing but a soulless bast*rd who needs to climb the king’s rope.

The media will NOT give much coverage to this. Forget it.

But this isn't about race...it is about Obama and his anger toward his white genes.

As a community organizer (ala Alinsky), he knows how to whip up a crowd. He knows how to mobilize voters and to convert energy to anger...and how to redirect that anger against his opponents.

This must be placed on the steps on the White House.

This is what Obama's open season on Whitey leads to.

This is not the fault of Black Americans...this is the fault of Liberals and mostly...Obama.

Not that it’s anyone’s fault but the scum who pulled the trigger but it sure doesn’t sound like a neighborhood where a woman, especially a non-black, is safe to take a walk. Projects at both ends of the street? This is the heritage of Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society.

this story is awful! the father blames the mother, who was also shot... he does not at all blame the two teenagers! plus the mother is going back to New Jersey where her sibings live... to the same town where her 18-year old son was stabbed to death??? did i read that right?

This is just the beginning of evil that the Progressives have called up from Hell.

A thing to we all need to bear in mind when a life shattering, horrible event happens:

The “media” think they have the absolute right to film you and shove mics in your face, while they ask “How do you feel?”.

Don't answer them.
Refrain from harsh judgements if others do, however.

There is ALWAYS a media angle, and NEVER a true concern for the shattered, grief stricken individual.

She, and those with her "hate-whitey" mindset Caused the death. They won't attend the funeral, but might throw a party in honor of the demise of a young'un. It's a danged shame that we have such a racist white house now, because it's causing me to paint with too wide a brush.

The father blamed her for walking him on a route that he had repeatedly warned her not to take. She insisted on being stupid. Yes, I'm using the word "stupid". When somebody tells you, "don't go by the woods, there are wolves there", and you go by the woods, don't be surprised when something bad happens.

This does not mean that the wolves don't need to be exterminated, but until they are, you don't go by the woods unarmed.

I like to think of it as a cancerous tumor growing bigger every day and diverting more and more of the host’s life blood away from vital functions in order to nourish its own malignant growth. That’s what socialism is. Eventually it takes away enough of the lifeblood that the organism is unable to support those vital functions and then the fun really begins. Then you have to start looking for scapegoats. Hitler blamed the Jews. American socialists will blame white people for “not paying their fair share”.

This is the heritage of Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society.

This and so much more that's turned truly evil in America. These young murderers have been "educated" from birth by the Jacksons, Sharptons, Farrakhans and others to hate Whitey and blame him for everything rotten about their own barbaric, degraded culture.

That racial bomb has been waiting for someone like Obama to light the fuse, which he did with relish. I fear it's only going to get worse. They now feel they're "entitled" to take whatever they want from whites "by any means necessary" including murder.

Please see my post #15.

If nothing else, to prepare yourself for the upcoming attempted media spin.

The “story” is awful, because a little baby was deliberately shot and killed, by a feral teenager.

Putting the focus on his parents does not change that, but does attempt to obscure the horror of the murderous act.
