Nice Planet #8: You People Make Me Sick.

Re: Nice Planet #8: You People Make Me Sick.

You reap what you sow. Never truer than now.

That's pretty hard on the kid, who was either innocent or a master criminal. He had the misfortune to be delivered by the stork unto herpa-derps, but if adopted by a nice educated couple he could still have had a worthwhile life. Now he's just going to spend about 25 years of hell-on-earth guilt and self-medication before joining Jim and Jimmy in the 27 Club.

I'm pro-gun, and people like the mom are why gun people get bad raps. I WILL NOTE that it's TRAGIC that she lost her life. HOWEVER, how the hell do you leave a gun (even if concealed in a purse/etc) within the reach of a child?!

Gun People crack me up.

Tell me that kid ain't screwed up for the rest of his life. He's 2 and he's going to need therapy from now until, well, forever.

If only there had been a good guy with a gun nearby...

Incidentally, this isn't your typical herpa-derp family. The mother was a biomedical researcher at the Idaho National Lab. I can't decipher exactly what she was working on, but something to do with nuclear waste.

I feel horrible for the kid. I do. The woman is the reaper in this case. She evidently based on her job is a smart woman. So, why the hell was the gun loaded, in her purse, with the safety off, in the reach of a 2 year old. That's stupidity that is off the charts.

Re: Nice Planet #8: You People Make Me Sick.

So the fat guy in NY selling butts reaped what he sowed?

Yeah, that's the "fun" part about life. Sometimes things are totally preventable and sometimes you're just in the path of the tornado. In the fat guy case it's a little of both. More tornado I'd say. In the case of the woman being shot it was 100% totally preventable.
 
Re: Nice Planet #8: You People Make Me Sick.

I just can't imagine leaving a loaded handgun with the safety off completely unattended in a store, much less near a 2 year old. That said it's still really sad.

Now that you've scored your political points, when you're done doing your pathetic touchdown dance, I suggest you get professional help.

Not interested in the political points. I think I can compartmentalize enough to feel emphatic for the child in this case, and the woman for that matter while at the same time calling her out as one of the stupidest people I've ever seen reported in a news story.

Thanks for the advice though.
