A Chicago man has been charged with first-degree murder after witnesses say an 8-year-old girl riding a scooter was fatally shot by someone upset over noise.
What do you do? As a parent what do you fucking do? How do you protect your kids from this?? What are we supposed to do? Tell them not to leave the house??
I’m in fucking tears, both for this little girl and her family and friends, and because I literally do not know how to protect my daughter from this.
Stand over outdoor playtime with a gun? Trauma Refuse to let kids play outside anymore? Trauma
My kid has already been shooting adjacent once in her life, and that list of kids grows and grows every year. Kids shot, kids siblings shot, kids friends shot, kids on lockdown because there’s a shooting in the school, near the school, shootings in Walmarts, now they can’t play in their front yards or ring the wrong doorbell by mistake.
The fuck, you guys? Thanks for listening so I could get that out of my system before my kid sees my face.
Leave that shit hole of a country and move elsewhere. Somewhere more safe and developed, like all of Europe.
The problem with that is the cost involved. Not everybody has the money or has the means to just up and go somewhere else.
I am aware. Not to mention the societal cost of uprooting your entire family, probably loosing your social circle, potentially moving to a country whose language you don’t speak, etc etc.
Cost isn’t the only issue with something like that.
Well ya see, all we gotta do is make sure every single person is armed at all times. (People actually believe this)

I know it’s a dark joke but, username of OP checks out
You can get the Death Penalty for a wide variety of behaviors in the US. Playing outside, sleeping in your bed, taking a walk, having a disagreement with a neighbor, being black, going to school, shopping, attending an outdoor concert, intervening in a dispute, attempting to steer clear of a dispute, driving, etc.
She shoulda had a gun on her
The American way.
Did you have to be the one to post this, of all people?
I was so confused until I remembered my username.
Yeeeeeah, that’s awkward, I will admit.
In one of the stories I read yesterday, the mom was killed a few years back. The dad was raising her all by himself and now this happens.
You’re a fucken clown if you think this murderer doesn’t deserve capital punishment. He wasn’t in danger. There is no question he did it. And he purposefully did it in front of the dad to see.
states with capital punishment have a higher murder rate
Uh what does capital punishment or under solve at all? Statistically it makes murders more common, so if you really believed dislike murder the only reasonable side is against capital punishment.
You just never know what kind of random nuts you’re gonna run into in public, that’s for sure.
