In reply to the discussion: Can't beleive a DUer just said he would have shot this kid [View all]blue14u
(575 posts)71. This OP and thread has me
so upset, and I have only reached as far as your post
IrishAyes... I am astonished at what people are saying here just as you are.
I'm in tears over a 13 year old CHILD being killed.. The OP
says he was on the ground... The cops are wrong on this one.
I have relatives on a force a couple counties over, and I have
gone through a CPA class with my local LE and have done
Volunteer work for them... This is not ok at all...
God help us all!!

DUers say a lot of stupid stuff in righteous little fits (I'm guilty of it)

I can understand your perspective, but the initial comment in this case was really appalling

I read it. Random thought: I have no sympathy for murderers yet I am opposed to the death penalty...

Yeah, better to rub him out before he gets ahold of a *real* gun, right?

I also saw the post in which you, OP, said you wished death upon the child of a DU poster
