(11,949 posts)Is that 3 people in the prime of their lives feel the need to resort to armed forced entry into a home.
Anyone care to guess the state of support of children and adolescents in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma?
Think they have great schools where children are taught to their potential. Or services for the less privileged to make up for the lack of opportunities they are offered by their families? Generous food stamp and school lunch and after school meals to help the poor spend their scant resources on something to help improve their lot long term. A high minimum wage that actually facilitates class movement?
You think the well off devote time and money to those less privileged and teach their kids we are all the same.
I would guess no to all of the above. But I bet they all love Jesus and the NRA.
Not excusing what they did. I own and use guns. If 3 armed people broke into my house I would not hesitate to shoot as I have a family to protect.
But it is too bad so much of our society is still rooted in Calvinist think about sinners having to pay a price.
