A normal man does not shot a six-year-old child

[liberty]

There must be more to this story than what we are being presented. A normal man does not shot a six-year-old child. True, it does happen a lot, but I would like to believe that even inner-city ghetto gangsters would not intentionally shot a child. As I said, It has happened, but I think the shooter was going after an older brother or something, and the kid was hit by accident. It is still a reckless and heinous thing to do but not as bad as intentionally shooting a child.

The guy may be of Chinese descent, but they are no better or worse than any other people, as far as I can tell. The people of communist China live under a despicable government, but that should not mean that they are bad people. The thing that makes a real difference in peoples is not in their race but their culture. But I know of nothing in the culture of the people of East Asia that condones the intentional shooting of a little child.

As I said, there has to be more to this story. Could it be that this person has been so disturbed by the recent attacks on East Asian people that he has lost his ability to reason? If he did shoot the kid competent or not, he can’t be allowed to walk around free. Society has to be protected.

The article linked by you states that the attacker first confronted the kid with a sledge hammer, so it is unlikely that he was going after anyone else. If he swung a sledge hammer at a 6 year, it's not surprise he would fire a gun at him.

But if you want to really look into something, why did a guy who shot a 6 year old kid get only a $10,000 bond initially (he was quickly back out on the payment of 10%, $1000)? It's now $100,000, but $10,000 for shooting a kid?

As Big RR points out, he was going after the six-year-old. There is no "older brother" in the story, just the kid's dad.

The guy may be of Chinese descent, but they are no better or worse than any other people, as far as I can tell.

By his name, his ethnic background would be Vietnamese.

Why? Maybe the guy's just an asshole?

If he did shoot the kid competent or not, he can’t be allowed to walk around free. Society has to be protected.

But God forbid anyone should have taken away his guns.

[Big RR]

Why? Maybe the guy's just an asshole?

I think that's a given; anyone who goes after a 6 year old with a gun or a sledge hammer, and he did both, is an asshole (indeed, that may be one of the nicest things I could call him). He may be an asshole because he is mentally disturbed, but he's still an asshole.

You can say that again!

Everyone here seems to be overlooking the fact thst, in the world as she is supposed to be, a TRULY normal man doesn't run around shooting ANYBODY.

Yes, BB, I think you are right. If you define 'normal' as the 80% in the middle of the bell curve, I think the number of males who have shot people (outside any incidents by Americans in a war zone) as percentage of the total US male population would put them way out in tail of the curve.

I have heard it said that 'assault rifles' have no function beyond killing people. If you take the number of people shot with assault rifles and compare with the total number of assault rifles in the hands of the general populace, they don't work very well at their purpose.

If you look at the historic data, the number of deaths by guns has increased as the restrictive gun laws have been increased.. Gun laws don't work very well.

As the great American philosopher S. Clemens stated, there are lies, damn lies, and statistics.

Too many people in America have access to too many guns. Too many of those people are willing to shoot people for any reason or no reason at all.

There must be more to this story than what we have; what we have doesn't make any sense. Something is being held back.

And as far as the guy being an asshole, I would need more evidence. Do you remember the wife abused by her husband until he drove her crazy? She then set his bed on fire, burning him to death. Who was the asshole there, the husband or the wife? Crazy people do crazy stuff; I am not justifying horrendous actions; I want to know why they happened.

[Big RR]

Please tell us any possible scenario where something the 6 year old did might even partially justify or explain the guy's shooting him and/or threatening him with a sledge hammer. Come on, he's 6 years old.

[ex-khobar Andy]

It appears that due to the community reaction, his bail has been increased to $100,000 and he's back in custody.

[Big RR]

Yep. $10,000 bail makes little sense, especially because he could put up $1000 and get out.

Maybe the child was a proxy target. Crazy people don’t always use the best reasoning.

Got a call got to go maybe we can talk later.

[Joe Guy]

I'm surprised liberty hasn't mentioned that the 6 yr old is black. Not that he would have any reason to bring anything more about race into the discussion or anything.

[Big RR]

Proxy target? Like, I can't get to you so I'll shoot your 6 year old son, brother, friend...? No evidence of that whatsoever; especially since he directly threatened the kid with a sledge hammer. And even if he was, the guy still for threatened and shot a 6 year old.

But keep trying if you want.

It certainly explains why he keeps trying so hard to find justification for murdering him.

How do you know that; has it been reported? I feel the news media lies mainly by withholding information. The liberal news media is the worse, in my opinion. Maybe they think they are making society better if so, that is not their job. I resent it when the media distorts what is happening. Gob won't come to this country because he doesn't want to get shot. As long as one stays out certain place, one's chances of getting shot are very low.
