Now if the parent had marijuana on them, then we could send them to jail and put the kids (I say plural kids here, since if it were marijuana instead of a gun, the 6 year old girl would still be alive) in the foster system.
Or if the parent were black, and pulled over by the cops -- and then the cops shot the parent for reaching for their license because they 'feared for their life', thus making the children fatherless--that TOO would be okay.
But don't DARE make the children 'orphans' because their mom negligently led to the death of another human being. There's absolutely NOTHING that could be done to stop this. Which is why other countries have the EXACT same gun epidemic that we do. The US has an average of 42 gun deaths each day. Japan has 44 per day. Err year. Err 8 years. Close enough, right?
You think jail is worse than what she' s gonna have to live with, every day for the rest of her life?
Or are you just looking for some good ol' biblical justice?
Ever know somebody who shot somebody as a toddler? I do. That kid' s gonna be a basket case already - without the trauma of getting stuck in the kid mill - aka foster care system.
Or - maybe we should just put the kid on death row. He shot somebody, right?
Fact is - it' s a fucked up deal all around - with no winning solution.
