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.

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.

(68,644 posts)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,
