[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jeez, I have most of those things just genetically (wideset eyes with eyelid folds, flat nose bridge, thin upper lip), and my mom was a teetotaler (that also never smoked).

This kid looks like half the kids that my teens and tweens go to school with.  The boys all have dirty, messy hair and  those greasy half mustaches now.  And the school was worried about him but apparently did not think he was a major discipline problem -- he was allowed to return to class and had not been previously disciplined.

What stands out to me is the mother's absolutely insane letter that she posted online.  And that the father was apparently marginally employed and released from his last job a couple of months ago for reasons that sound like misconduct/performance (or might have been refusal to vaccinate, given the timing).  There was obviously some bad sh-t going on in this house.  Raised by different parents, this kid might have turned out very differently.  Or, raised in a household without guns, this kid might have turned his life around.  We'll never know what kind of person he MIGHT have become, because the presence of guns means that what MIGHT have been a transitory problem in his life relating to brain immaturity combined with bad circumstances combined with an inability to process emotions in a healthy manner turned into a permanent and life-altering day -- both for him and for every one of the children in that school.  Guns take a problem that could be a big or small problem and very quickly turn them into an awful, awful, awful problem.

The biggest question here (to my mind) is why, as a country, do we keep giving serious weaponry to people that refuse to be responsible for them?  You can't get a car or adopt a dog without showing that you will take care of it properly and get the right tags, insurance, etc.  Where is the accountability for gun owners?  How can any judge think that this is a "a well regulated militia"?

(Side note, but the fact that the S Ct justices were just giving the oral advocates crap about where in the constitution does it protect the right to abortion, when they refuse to acknowledge that the constitution also says nothing about the right to keep massive weaponry unlocked in your kitchen....is just one of the reasons I am SO SICK of our legal system.)

I agree with much of what you wrote. And sadly, the SC seems to want to force more women to have children they don’t want, which will only continue this awful cycle. [/quote]
