The woman who said she smothered her two little boys "has been ... a good mom," Sheriff Larry Williams said. But Shaquan Duley was financially desperate and overwhelmed, he said
(Excerpt) Read more at cnn.com ...
“has been ... a good mom,”
Wow — I’d hate to see a bad mom from his jurisdiction.
That's no damn excuse to murder those two little boys. Burn in **** biatch!
Oh well who couldn’t see this coming! Now we must feel sorry for the poor, “overwelmed” mom. Its bull sh*t!
Geez..no kidding. She was a good mom...right up until she killed her children..
Financially overwelmed and desperate. Yeah she looks it.
Ho ware child killers are treated in womens prison?
I guess she’s really the victim, here. How sad.
Yeah, strange thing for a sheriff to say. I assume he saw the bodies too. You wouldn’t think he would be able to say SHE is the victim after that.
Everyone who murders is “overwhelmed”. By their own lack of self-controls or morals.
Another day in 0bama’s America. Get used to it.
She had no recourse? What with all those social programs out there starting with that war on poverty thing and the great society the Dem’s instituted .... she had no place to go for help????
There are some things for which there are no excuses.
I’m sure some liberals out there will find a way to blame this on Bush.
It is Obama’s fault that people are running out of hope! /s
I’m so tired of excuses. There is no excuse to murder your kids! Don’t want them? Give them to a family member who loves them or put in foster care. It’s better than being dead.
Bush's fault!!!!!
Sounds as if her own mother disagrees with the good sheriff.
I’d like to know where the “sheriff” received his degree in psychiatry.
His responsibilities don’t include psychoanalyzing the “perp’s” motivations.
Excuse me if I don't produce a hanky and begin crying. Life is freakin' tough, particularly for a single parent so suck it up.
What it boils down to is the children were in her way and kept her from having a good time and making more babies.
Sickening. She needs to have her female organs removed period. Or the death penalty but we know her story(ies) will invoke the 'not guilty by reason of insanity' or 'guilty of manslaughter' or some other bs charge.
You should think about being “overwhelmed” before you have two kids you can’t afford....geez.
Well then, I guess she should be free to go.
Live and learn.
You have to break a few eggs...

How about, “Don’t murder your own kids!”
Not just killed them, covered their mouth with her hand and suffocated them. She sat face to face and watched them die.
Maybe someone hung a noose in her bathroom?
Then, she could have shot 9 white men too, and the media would have lauded her.
Some of these people should live on a street in Calcutta India for about one week, then they would quit complaining about their lot in America (divorce, food stamps, job loss, single motherhood, friction with the in-laws, temporary economic downturn). Even living in a car is much more desirable, and is a palace compared to a gutter in a "bustee" (registered slum), in Calcutta, India. Many Calcuttans would give their left leg just to spend a few nights in the car that this woman used to drown her kids.

I imagine we will now hear all the usual responsibility-escaping excuses and handwringing.
She’s probably Al Green’s campaign manager.
Sheriff Williams:

Change.
If ya ain’t got the ring, don’t do that thing!
Yep, there are many government programs that would take your children if you don’t want them or feel you are unable to care for them ... no need to kill them. Put them in the system and if/when you get your act together chances are you can get them back.
Now she has a greater burden ... life in prison or death by the state.
Before the day is out, I believe an enterprising FReeper will have checked the voter registration.....
Where is the father in all this?
This is really bad "optics".
Other than that how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?
Are you talking about that mother? People like her usually don’t vote. If she’s literate I’d be surprised.
was financially desperate and overwhelmed, he said...
And that’s a reason for a mother to cold-bloodedly murder her two children?? Excuse me for not showing empathy. She is 29 years old with three children and probably on government programs to help her “financially desperate” situation. She is an evil person. Period.
Hang her high then give her this epitaph:
SHE WAS OVERWHELMED SO MURDERED HER TWO HELPLESS CHILDREN
Mom felt selfish.
[Financially overwelmed and desperate]
What? She’s wasn’t feeling the hope and change?
Which means the last thing those poor children saw was...
I hope the good sheriff thinks about that.
Was it Mark Twain that told the tale of the guy who killed both his parents, and then plead for mercy from the court because he was an orphan? When I read the story of the ‘Mom Overwhelmed’ that’s what I came to mind. We’re in an upside down world—as a Christian, I can’t understand
God’s reasons for such things happening on earth, but what comes to mind is Evil has a face. I pray for those children, and that God has mercy on the soul of that ‘overwhelmed mother’.
That is how the left works, blame everyone else but the one responsible. Oh poor woman, she was unemployed, she didn’t have any money so she suffocated her kids..she sure wasn’t starving now was she. That “mother” deserves to be given the death penalty for what she did, but of course liberals will go with the sob story BS..I won’t shed a tear for this pathetic excuse for a human being, she deserves to fry. My sympathy is for those poor children who were brutally murdered by this woman who they loved so much.
Or “fathers” — both the deceased, 18 month old Ja’van T. Duley and 2 year old Devean C. Duley, had her last name so there’s a question if they had the some father.
As I said on another post the Sheriff said they had held her for “non-believeability”. Is there such a thing? Or does this fall under the same category as “truthatude” and “falsity”.
Sky had me grinning.
Where is the father in all this?
You got me laughing.
This is exactly why there should be child drop-off facilities.
Not fair. There are multiple reasons for packing on the pounds in an environment of "sufficient food" and for some of those reasons (including medical) it takes a major effort to keep it off.
And that's before you get into genetics...
