In reply to the discussion: POLICE: VEGAS MOM, SON SEARCHED FOR VEHICLE BEFORE SHOOTING [View all]happyslug
(14,779 posts)21. By going BACK to their home and shooting them????
From the Article "Steiber" in the article refers to police Lt. Ray Steiber:
"I would never say that anybody went looking for trouble," Steiber said when asked to characterize Tammy Meyers' five-to-10 minute drive through the neighborhood. He said she found, and for a time followed, the vehicle she had apparently been looking for.
Tammy Meyers then drove home, Steiber said, where a vehicle described only as a four-door gray or silver sedan pulled up and someone inside opened fire.

In simple terms, the Mother had an altercation with someone driving a car. She went home dropped off her 14 year old daughter, picked up her adult son who took a REGISTERED pistol with him. They found the car, followed it for a few minutes AND THEN DROVE HOME. When they arrived at their home, the car they had been following, shows up and someone from inside that car opened fire.
I hate to say this, Police like license plate numbers and that is what I suspect the Mother went back to get. She and he son was NOT going to confront the person, just take his plate number. Once the plate number was obtained, the Mother and her son drove home. Thus the actual shooting occurred AFTER the Mother and son had returned home.

We have gone completely off the rails as a culture and society. How much further proof do you need?

There's something wrong when a mother goes and gets her 22-year old son who has a gun.
