I have 4 sons of my own.... but I don't care if he was 10 years old... If he's openening fire with the intent of killing the masses, then the world really is better off with him not in it.
What do we do, try to rehab him, so he can do it again in college? You forget that the shooter in VT had a troublesome history?
Good point RD
When I was like 15 I was about 220 pounds and like 5-2 or so and guys use to whip me with milk weeds and stuff me in tires and roll me down hills. Was I ticked? Yes but waited until they hit their late 20's and all 3 investigasted by IRS and now 2 out of 3 in prison for 7 years. Get revenge the smart way
