Family says teen didn't have to die (Yes he did.....society is better off)

I understand your points. I don’t think she burdened the man who shot her kid. She condemned the kid’s actions, is sad that he chose that path, and he died from his actions. She and her daughter are numb, still in shock. How would you feel if you were in their place?

My parents (career Navy father, and professional hair stylist mother) raised both my sister and I in the same way. Patriotic, go-to-church on Sunday, spending time weekends together, respectful, etc. Yet my sister (younger) was a hell raiser, wild child. Enough for both of us. Thankfully, she straightened out, and became a great woman, wife, mother, sister, teacher, and friend. Was my Mother to blame for her wild years? Or perhaps Dad for being in the Navy? Or maybe it was my sister for not listening Mom and Dad.

OK, so you “know about” LBJ and the “Great Society”.

You don’t “understand” LBJ and the “Great Society”.

[oneamericanvoice]

Duncan, there is nothing I can do to convince otherwise. You want to be the professor. But can’t understand what I’m saying. I don’t mind discussions, but don’t like lectures.

I figured that trying to be truthful, civil, and present a different view that some might not have considered would not go over well.

Haha...what a martyr you are. Or maybe just a troll patting himself on the back for his politically correct sensibilities.

u need to get with the program...that was a kidding post to revolting cat...hence “revolting”...revolting cat is known for his sarcasm

no one is beefing with you

it was a courtesy ping...and I was on your side

word of advice...when cornered by jackasses here don't fire off in a circle

i pinged you because you and I and a few others were the only ones not high fiving over yet another stupid yet very dead kid

Well if you see someone playing with fire and later hear that caught on fire, it would be a valid assumption that they set themselves on fire.

But feel free to beat that dead horse. You KNOW damn well the woman was not married twice to the babies daddies. No mention of them is in any article cause they DON’T exist.

Portrayed as a victim by his family.

FTA:

"...but he didn't deserve to have his life taken."

Yes, he did. He was a career thug who engaged in physical violence towards innocent victims. It was only a matter of time before one of his victims was murdered. Escalation.

I'm glad the real victim in this case was able to execute a pre-emptive strike and take this scum off the streets before an innocent was killed.

You're right - she probably loved her child like most mothers do... but she was fighting toxic culture incentives liberals dumped on the underclass in the sixties. Without fathers, necessary conditional love doesn't exist. Mother love - unconditional - is great if balanced. Not balanced and it's a disaster. The more she loved him - ‘no matter what’ - the more she weakened him. Look at the results - and her comments. She bought into liberal “victim group-think” - and her son died. My prayers for all who live in pain in this horror...

[GOPJ]

Than again, sometimes parents can do everything ‘right’ and still have a child who’s lost. The good and bad are all part of God’s plan... even if it doesn’t make sense on our finite level. Prayers for the lost and suffering... and those who love them.

Swampy? (Really? What’s up with that?)

Seems like you’re spending an awful large amount of time defending yourself. I guess you are right. We should all feel sorrow for the young criminal who got shot. The only person I feel sorry for is the old guy who was forced to (rightfully) shoot him. That’s a big decision for anyone to make.

[Stentor]

...there is a fellow in a bowler hat (probably a Occupier) who is trying to protect the patriot, and is telling the hippies that he is a citizen with rights just like them.

Heartwarming and worthy of Lifetime TV.

[oneamericanvoice]

“Swampy” was in response to the use of the British word (arse).

Now to set the record straight for those who have understood my sentiment. I never dismissed the kid’s actions, nor did his mother and sister. I am glad that the senior was able to use his weapon. The sister wishing that he would have been able to fire a warning is silly, but understandable coming from someone who just lost a sibling (however bad). The poor man who had to shoot will live with this the rest of his days, just like the family.

You are a breath of sanity on an insane thread. Thank you for posting what I have been trying to. Hopefully you are not savaged like I have been.

[oneamericanvoice]

Thanks. Posts are sometimes hard to decipher of meaning, since they lack personal interaction. Plus, if you had seen the attacks on me, you might understand. Tell the nasties that it isn’t good to circle fire.
