I would like to make another comment about the 2 year old child missing. I just want to shake the mother of that child until her teeth rattle, she did something to that baby. She is as cold as stone on pic on the news. Her mother is also covering up for her, because she can''t believe that her darling daughter did something to her granddaughter, well smell the coffee granny, your daughter is a criminal of some sort. She either gave the child away, sold her or killed her. She is full of s--t, she knows where that child is. They want to grill her until she is blue in the face or let her out and put a tracer on her every move. I believe the child is dead, because of her actions and her cold stone look. Put her in a cell with a wire there and see if she talks to an undercover polcewoman, do something to find out where the child is, dead or alive. Prayers for that child and hope that she can be found. How come granny didn''t see her for a month or try to see her own granddaughter, somethings not right.

These crimes are horrendous,sometimes there are warning signs that people are violent, but it usually is the innocent person that dies at their hands. What moron and pinhead would fire bullets at a EMR worker that was there to save lives. The worst crime that could happen, hopefully the building did take him out of his life that was filled with hate. The devil is surely ready for him. Sympathy and prayers go out to the young man''s family.

ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE HAPPENING ARE INSANE TO MOST OF US. BUT WITH OUR ECONOMY BEING LIKE IT IS, I EXPECT IT TO GET WORSE. THE PRICE OF FUEL OF ALL KINDS IS OUTRAGEOUS TO SAY THE LEAST. WE ARE LETTING COMPANIES MOVE THEIR EQUIPMENT OUT OF THE COUNTRY AND SET UP WHERE THEY HAVE STARVATION WAGES AND ARE MAKING RECORD PROFITS. THE "NAFTA BILL" HAS BEEN IN EFFECT NOW FOR ALMOST 14 YEARS AND IT IS TEARING OUR COUNTRY APART PIECE BY PIECE.

OK... I WILL SAY SOMETHING ELSE ON THIS SUBJECT. I USED TO LIVE JUST OUTSIDE OF SAINT LOUIS. THE CRIME RATE IS PRETTY BAD THERE AND IN EAST SAINT LOUIS AS WELL. I LIVE WITHIN EASY DRIVING DISTANCE OF NASHVILLE AND ATLANTA NOW. AND THEY BOTH ARE PRETTY BAD. SO I GUESS, AS YOU SAID, CRIME IS BAD IN A LOT OF BIG CITIES.

Hopefully the shooter was in the house when the roof collasped. I hope he didn''t make a sly getaway during the commotion.

My youngest son is a rookie Fire Fighter/EMT. The individual that killed that young man and shot the cop hopefully burned along with the house.
There is no excuse for the shooter to lay in wait to kill Emergency Workers doing their jobs.
Gods Peace to the Family who has so senselessly lost their son.
