America`s Gun Culture

Does that not trample all over the constitutional rights of 4 year olds?

Does that not trample all over the constitutional rights of 4 year olds?

A perfect summation of the lunacy.

This is so sad

"The woman who was accidentally shot dead by her two-year-old son in an Idaho Walmart is described by those who knew her as a gun lover, a motivated academic and a successful nuclear research scientist.
"She was a beautiful, young, loving mother who was taken much too soon," Veronica Rutledge's father-in-law, Terry Rutledge, told the Spokesman-Review. "She was out on what was supposed to be a fun-filled day with her son and nieces."
Rutledge was shot at about 10.20am on Tuesday, in the electronics department of the Hayden, Idaho, Walmart. Kootenai County sheriffs said her son, sitting in the front of a shopping cart, reached into Rutledge's purse, found her weapon and shot his mother.
"I mean, this is a pretty tragic incident right now that we're dealing with," Kootenai lieutenant Stu Miller told reporters on Tuesday. "When you have young children, small people, holiday season – it's not a pleasant experience." "

I remember when I was 7 going for a walk with my cowboy gun but I wouldn't bring it to the supermarket now.

Terrible story: http://www.rte.ie/news/2015/0806/719450-detroit-shooting/

An 11-year-old boy has been charged with manslaughter over the fatal shooting of a toddler in Detroit.

The older boy allegedly shot the three-year-old boy in the face on Monday and he was pronounced dead on arrival at a hospital, The Detroit News and other media said.

According to CBS Detroit, police at the scene said the boys had been playing with the gun.

The Detroit News quoted Wayne County prosecutor Kym Worthy as saying that the older boy was visiting his father's house when he found a gun in a bedroom wardrobe.

He tossed it out of the bedroom window, Ms Worthy said, retrieved it outside and took it into a parked vehicle where the toddler joined him.

A short time later, Ms Worthy said, the 11-year-old shot the little boy dead.

"I cannot remember a time where we have charged someone so young with taking a life," she was quoted saying in a statement.

"Very unfortunately and very tragically, the alleged facts in this case demanded it.

"The charged respondent here will remain in the juvenile system, but the case remains under investigation.

"As a result of that, I will not say more at this time."

Neither boy has been named.

Surely some mistake? I mean 'guns don't kill people'.

Surely some mistake? I mean 'guns don't kill people'.

Right, it's more the bullets that do that.

How the f**k do you charge an 11 year old with manslaughter?

[muppet]

How the f**k do you charge an 11 year old with manslaughter?

Surely the Dad who left the gun in the wardrobe is the one to charge?

[stew]

How the f**k do you charge an 11 year old with manslaughter?

They have deemed him as knowing fully as to what he was doing, no matter what happens he will be out when he is 18 and the record expunged, not much but it is something.

I think it disgraceful that this is happening but there are elections to be won and there is the public court of opinion to consider.

Apologies if this has been posted before but can't be arsed going through all the pages. Jim Jeffries, Aussie comic, nails it here.

But wtf sort of public wants to charge 11 year olds?!

Funny video, 93-DY, but he's playing to a Boston audience.  Wonder how well he'd fare in the heart of Dixie playing to a Nascar audience.

Lyrics to Kazakhstan National Anthem

Kazakhstan greatest country in the world
all other countrys are run by little girls.
Kazakhstan number one exporter of potassium!
Other countries have inferior potassium.

Kazakhstan home of the tinshein swimming pool
it's length thirty metre ans width six metre.
Filtration system a marvel to behold
it removes 80 percent of human solid waste.

Kazakhstan,Kazakhstan, you very nice place,
from plains of tarashenk to northern fence of jewtown.
Kazakhstan, friend of all except Uzbekistan,
they very nosey people withe bone in theire brain.

Kazakhstan, industry best in the world,
we invented toffee and the trouser belt.
Kazakhstan, prostitutes cleanest in the region,
except of course for Turkmenistan's.

Kazakhstan,Kazakhstan, you very nice place,
from plains of tarashenk to northern fence of jewtown.
Come grasp the mighty phenis of our leader,
from juction with testes to tip of its face.


In Kuwait, they played it by mistake at a swimming medal ceremony: ]http://wn.com/kazakhstan_national_anthem__borat_[with_lyrics]
