    Right ok, it's not poor parenting.

    Tonight I think I'll talk a leisurely stroll in Fallujah. I'm sure it'll be ok. But if I happen to get shot I'll just blame the gun.

    Geez where's my brain? If I wanted to illustrate an extremely dangerous situation and area to be in why didn't I pick that place to begin with? I'm going to walk through the Englewood neighborhood in Chicago. Being that I'm a white Libertarian/Constitutionalist I'll be able to properly explain that we all own the streets equally and that I should be allowed to walk freely.

    But if I get shot we can blame the gunz.

    Keep blaming an object. Don't focus on the issue.

    A three year old out at 10:15pm on a weeknight. Yeah, it's the gun's fault.

    Good point, clearly it was the three year old's. stupid child getting in the way of them bullets. The level of debate really is circeling the drain.


    Poor parentage. There's no three year old that should be out in that filth crime ridden part of the city at that time of night.
    this might be one of the most idiotic statements I've read from you. not even worthy of a response. but I felt u needed to know how insane it is.

    Or they could understand that they live in GANGLAND and it might not be that safe outside after 10pm for a 3 year old.

    So ok, it's not poor parenting, it's just stupidity.

    I'm not even remotely going to take that as a personal attack, since personal attacks are against forum rules.

    Do you have children?

    I agree with you...when I first heard about this shooting the first thing I thought of was....why was this child out so late at night?
    Get rid of All the community organizers that pay them selves six digit salaries with Americans tax dollars. They are not helping the poor. Why can't people see this.

    yes 3 of them.

    I agree with you on about 30% of the ideas floated around this forum. But to say its the parents fault for some dude shooting up a park is insane. Do you know the dynamic of that family? Maybe both parents work and late evenings give them the time to spend with kids. Is that bad parenting? Were the kids left alone? Not from what ive read.

    I am a full believer in your right to have a gun. I'm also a firm believer that you have the right to sit in a park at any time of the night in Chicago, and not be shot at.

    I lived just south of Gary, IN for 20 years during a time when Gary was called the murder capital of the US. I never once felt like I had to stay indoors just because it got dark outside.

    I wasnt personally attacking you, just your statement.

    really that was your 1st thought? my first thought was wow a child got killed by a person with a gun. also before you heard that obama was a community org. did you even know what it was. do you even know today what they do?

    Do you tell your kids to look both ways before crossing the street?

    What about warning them not to touch a hot stove?


    It's about caution. Yes, people SHOULD be able to walk freely anywhere without getting harmed. But is that a reality?

    So yeah, the parent should exercise control over a 3 year old. Is it their fault? Probably not. But it's irresponsible to let your child pet a bear, and it is just as irresponsible as being out at 1015 in the murder capital of the US.

    maybe because it's his right to do so.

    should we blame a woman who gets raped because she walked down an alley to get home after drinks with friends instead of staying home and baking cookies? because that's the line you're treading here.

    So you let your kids play in the street?

    Or do you avoid risky situations?

    so you say that it probably not the parents fault but then all you do is put the blame on the parents.

    being a mother ....Yes my first thought was about the poor child and my second thought was why was this child out this late at night. Then I just figured it was gang related, later found out to be true. So now I feel bad that the childs mother (I guess a teenager from a shit home...just guessing) was hanging out with gangs....not a good outing anytime especially with a child...

    I know that there are many people involved (or had been involved )with community organizers (in Chicago) that made big bucks, and others in jail due to corruption.

    there has been much money that could go towards helping these parents...but the corruption has sucked it all away from these people

    avoiding risky situations and blaming someone for something happening to them are entirely different.

    I think people arrested due to gang activity should get like 50 years in prison or more. Extreme, yes, but it may divert teens from becoming part of something that could land them in jail for most of their life. People arrested for gang violence now get off too easy. Make simple things (that are gang related) automatic many years in jail.
