What a horrible tragedy. She and you have my condolences.

If you don't mind my asking... she's had 4 children and 2 grandchildren killed by people with guns? What do you think has caused such a large number of people from one family to have this happen?

l4d,

Has she or her kith & kin lost any to water violence, or bacteria violence or... talking point Violence?

Blessed are the lost, whom are used as tools by their destroyers.

The woman said, that despite the murder of her “baby”, she’s not bitter or angry.

WHOA!

let's just say lifestyle... she had six sons and one daughter... two sons and the one daughter are still living... the one daughter lost her only son last summer... he was shot for 20 bucks... my aunt's youngest son accidentally shot and killed her grandson (they were the same age)... the thing is, none of us here in California were all that surprised when we heard what had happened... she lost one son, my cousin Lawrence--who was my age, and i was close to, to cancer... but he had almost died years before that to a drug overdose... in fact, his heart had stopped beating... and he was once shot twice in the face and survived...

yes, God bless my aunt, who is a strong Christian woman... she is my mother's youngest sister... she and my mom (who has seven children) have had very different experiences... i won't even go into the children of my mother's older sister, or the children of my father's oldest sister--also in New Mexico... lots of loss to gun violence, lots of prison time... sad, sad, sad...

I don’t know what Rahm could do other than put curfews on the black neighborhoods, and you know that’s going to go loverlike a lead balloon.

some of the differences i see between my cousins in NM and my family here in California are this: my parents have been married for 69 years... the others had broken homes... my parents had expectations for us--to go to school, do well, be productive members of society... they didn't have that... in fact, they were all really good at working the system... my parents were somewhat "strict," with us... my aunt gave into every whim and desire of her sons... they were spoiled to where they could not hold a job... just stuff like that... they all did jail and prison time... none of my brothers and sisters ever got into trouble like that... i think it's the little things everyday that turn into big things in the long run...
