Texas mom pulls gun on 14-year-old daughter's rival during playground girlfight (Video)

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by one_voice (a host of the General Discussion forum).



Texas-style justice went too far when a mom tried to sway a playground fight between her 14-year-old daughter and a rival by pointing a handgun at the head of the other girl, video from the incident shows.

Hours after the Tuesday girlfight at a park next to Pasadena High School in suburban Houston — broken up by campus police — Viridiana Alvarez, 33, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after photos and video emerged of the gun-toting mom, Click2Houston reported.

The teen confrontation was reportedly a grudge match over a boy where one girl challenged the other to a fight after school. Both showed up — along with the pistol-packing Alvarez.

....this is the exact reason for SYG - to prevent grave bodily harm to yourself or others.

There should be no arrest in Texas and there should be no outrage by teabaggers. I guess the law ain't meant for them there Messicans.

I still have my copy of National Lampoon's "Negligent Mother" magazine satire.

Some of the real problems that need to be addressed:

Girls are in a public park fighting over a boy, surrounded by a crowd with cell phones.

-- Everyone has a cell phone, nobody has anything productive to do.
-- All are minors, but there isn't an intelligent adult around to supervise.
-- Why aren't they in school, or doing homework or a sport, or some housework or have an after school job?
-- What the hell is wrong with Ms. Alvarez that she can show up with an unloaded gun to wave around but can't raise a child to avoid physical conflict?
-- Texas schools, WTF?

Seriously,
