Today's "Standards"


An Orangevale youth who fatally shot a passing motorist with a hunting rifle had to write a 1,000 word essay on why he was sorry and will serve 30 days in juvenile hall.
And naturally, "As part of his sentence, the special education student also must spend 500 hours speaking to other youths on the dangers of guns."

Hey, ask the experts.

  1. The parents of the 14 year old are the ones legally at fault. The child was in "special education", which of course demands even more attention be paid to him. Not to mention that the basic rules of firearm safety were obviously NOT followed.

    Those with half a brain know that this has NOTHING to do with the firearm itself. And everything to do with the irresponsibility of the ones whom are in custody of the child in question.

    The anti-gun fanatics will, of course, claim otherwise. And, attempt to exploit this tragedy to advance their own perverse 'agenda'.

  2. Accountability is apparently out of fashion--keep in mind, this is the same state in which there is a legislative initiative to ban spanking.
