pelosisstil, While your response goes a long way in showing your true character (name calling and insults) it totally ignores the question.
I wonder why?

[pelosisstill]

jn, pissant that it is, sez

where are the republicans in this case...

well, pilgrim, I am a Republican - and I heard about this case from a fellow Republican who is disgusted as I am. While the Ga-ye thing doesn''t do a thing for me, I did hear that the kid who murdered this poor boy came from a typically dysfunctional family (you know, the kind Dems usually champion, if you wish to get political).

He had NO parents and was raised by his grandfather. So where were mom and dad? In jail? Doing drugs somewhere?? the biological parents should also be placed in prison with this hate-filled kid whom they abdicated the responsiblity of raising. And if they get life, well, so much the better.

A hate crime?

Why because he as a "cross-dresser"!

And yes schoollord, is right, these types of shootings are mainly committed by registered gun-owners, and not wayward street thugs.

In the Terri Schiavo case, the republican controlled congress passed a bill, trying to force re-insertion of Schiavo%u2019s life supports:
~~~~~

%u2018Voting 203 to 58 at 12:42 a.m., the House joined the Senate in approving the measure and rushing it to President Bush. He signed the bill into law at 1:11 a.m., saying, "I will continue to stand on the side of those defending life for all Americans, including those with disabilities."

Where were Bush and the republicans in this case?

Knowing that what you are bringing into your homes are deadly weapons which increase the chances of death. Who with common sense will raise those chances in his/her household?
Posted by schoollord

There are lots of items considered deadly or dangerous. Common sense determines how one manages those items.

[displeased]

f you guys are consistently breeding a$$holes then you should not be vouching or bragging about your worms!~
Posted by schoollord

It''s not the worms that are the problem, it''s the lack of common sense. Same philosophy with "SOME" gun owners, not "ALL" which you inaccurately imply.

[displeased]

Those wackos are mostly gun owners.
Posted by schoollord

The gun owners I know are respectable, intelligent, and contribute to society in ways you aren''t capable of comprehending. The wackos I know are delusional, insecure, intolerant, and lack analytical thinking...a category you fit well in.

American Men need a weapon to take the place of that small useless worm in there pants. Loosers

If our worms are useless, then why are we consistently breeding a$$holes? BTW, comparing a few psychotics to the general population is pointless, insignificant, and a reflection of your ignorance.

[flreason]

I''m bothered by CBS''s use of the term "harvested" for this young man''s internal organs. The organs were donated. Somehow harvesting suggests man collecting for his own purposes the fruits of nature. This young man''s family chose to memorialize his life by helping save the lives of others. To use a utilitarian term for such a great gift demeans it.

[xraytwonine]

14? hate crime? murder? what''s next? if you want to be apathetic about this type of "news item" go ahead, shut your door, close you eyes, walk blind...

[it_oldtimer]

This is news?

[offtheback]

you should learn to read...AND UNDERSTAND

Posted by libsrsissy

The point this person was trying to make was one of legal symantics and calling into question the professionalism of CBS journalism. Not wether the child, for all intents and purposes, was in fact deceased.

Does anyone read? or is the need to attack others so great.
What is this saying about you?

[offtheback]

Posted by marymcq

Had you taken the time to actually read my post idiot, you would have seen that I was responding to another moron who failed to read the article enough to discover the fact the child killed was the product of the foster care system.
In the future as I said, take the time to understand that of which you speak. It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool then to speak and remove all question.

[gce65]

They took a "murdered" kid off life support? They murdered him again! How about a little better journalism in the write-up, CBS?

[harrydoghiny]

Victims are ''slain" until a "murderer" is convicted. No victims who have been "slain" can still be on "life support" Who edits this site, a six-year-old?

[irliberal]

Hmmm how much do you want to bet that the shooters parents were republican bigots? Sounds like a safe bet to me. Fine values they taught their boy there.

[marymcq]

To offtheback, if you read the whole story you would have read that he is is foster care. The poor mixed up boy, doing what he thought was right, he felt like a girl, he wanted to dress like one, so what, did he deserve to die? NO Too bad that POS won''t get life because he is a child.

[stezzer]

This is a terribly sad case. The perpetrator should face the most draconian of sentences. And personally, I think his parents should be dragged before the courts as well.

The school and those responsible for the care of this poor child should also be called to answer many questions. Why did they allow him to go to school dressed in such odd outfits, and what advice were they giving him?

[incog-nito]

See? If that 14 year old kid had carried a weapon, he could have defended himself. Schools would be soooo much safer if kids are allowed to carry concealed weapons. Everybody carried guns in the Old West, and look how safe it was!!!
