Longer article at the Clarion Ledger (Gannet publications not allowed to be posted here).

Brother and sister (who was actually 14 years old) fighting over video game. Mother in kitchen feeding lunch to "3 or 4" other children. The .25 cal handgun most likely belonged to mama's live-in boyfriend.

You get the picture.

They’ll say the NRA killed another child instead of blaming an irresponsible parent who has a live-in-thug who leaves guns lying around.

Yes, but let’s not teach morality to the kids anymore because that’s wrong.

And, can we ask, what in the heck would cause a child to think, he can threaten or shoot someone over something like a video game? What kind of short fuse does this boy have, to grab a gun over such a dispute????

Democrats should not be allowed to own guns.

I expect the difference between playing a shooter “game” and actually shooting someone was nil.

The kid’s probably watched every violent shoot em up on the screen, not to mention violent video games. Anyone who thinks children aren’t corrupted that way, doesn’t have a clue. I’m appalled at what some of my grandchildren are allowed to view. God help them.

The girl was identified by Monroe County Coroner Alan Gurley as 14-year-old Dijonae White

Odd given name DIJONAE. Up there with La dasha. Or Shi’thead

Ah yes, the live-in boyfriend.

If a child dies, look for “the boyfriend” first.

But how can that be? The stock photo clearly shows a white kid playing video games.

Well... I can't blame him for having a gun handy. Some of those kids are a real handful.

Like this one...
