A mother who called Louisiana sheriff's officers because her daughter and son-in-law were fighting saw the officers respond by shooting them both to death, the mother claims in court. [More]I really don't know what to believe here, considering the "progressive" AlterNet source. The subversive fools present stories like this and then turn around and do everything in their power to promote a government monopoly of violence.
I'm pleased that you admit that you don't know what to believe, here.
ReplyDeleteIt is natural for the mother of a daughter and son-in-law killed before her to say that her family were the salt of the earth, kind, gentle, caring, wouldn't-hurt-a-fly-turning-their-lives-around, and that the Evil N*zis gunned them down as they were unarmed and on their knees, begging for their lives.
The truth will most likely be something completely different.
Trayvon Martin, anyone?
Im cynical enough to suspect that the typical AlterNet reader would approve of the police action. Got another gun owner off the street.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I can glean, the woman was apparently looking for "suicide by cop". She may not have aimed her rifle at them, but she would't put it down when ordered. If such be true, it's likely that the cops didn't overreact this time.
ReplyDeleteI am surprised that the cops did not kill the mother as well, leaving no one alive to contradict their version of events.
ReplyDeleteThe moral of this story so far seems to be that looking for government help to solve personal problems can produce horrible results.
ReplyDeleteThink twice before involving government.
