This is pure dystopian sci fi come to life. I’m sure you remember the movie, “Wild In The Streets” where the voting age is dropped to 14 and a rock star takes over the presidency and puts everybody over 30 in detention camps. Then at the end (sorry to spoil it, this flick has been out since the 70’s) even younger kids want to get rid of everybody over the age of 10.
If our children keep killing themselves and other children, we’re there. It’s no longer sci fi, it’s reality.
Here’s the next horror story, to file along with the one about the 4-year-old and 7-year-old taking guns to school. The 4-year-old’s was loaded, the 7-year-old had a clip in his backpack. And now read about a 1-year-old. KMOV-TV:
A toddler has died after shooting himself in north St. Louis City on Wednesday.
Officers with the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department said evidence showed the 1-year-old boy shot himself in the head inside a home. […]
The boy was barely conscious and barely breathing when paramedics rushed him to the hospital where he later died from his injuries.
We can only speculate that the kid was crawling around and found a gun in the living room. He had access to it. That much is certain. Unless an adult handed the baby the gun and that is getting weirder than I want to get. Raw Story:
Children dying in accidents involving unsecured firearms are a common occurrence in the U.S. In June, an eight-year-old Florida boy fatally shot his infant sister with a gun belonging to his father. In Detroit, a five-year-old boy playing with a gun fatally shot himself in the face in August. There have been numerous near misses as well; in Corpus Christi, Texas this week, a four-year-old brought a loaded handgun to school, triggering alarms as it came just months after the massacre at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde.
Maybe Ted Cruz or Josh Hawley can chime in on this one and explain how more guns are the answer. Or what about Boebert and Greene? This is right up their alley. Check their websites. AR-15’s reign and it rains AR-15s.
Fascist don’t give a rat’s ass about dead children. Hitler killed conservatively one and a half MILLION children. God knows how many have died at the border due to frump violating the asylum laws & at the hands of the gangs back in Central America when he shipped some back. How many have died in Yemen as dump & the vampire boys gave more weapons to the Saudis? Or how many Kurds’ children died when he abandoned our allies and let putin and Assad go rogue? The list goes on and on and on…yet 75 million evil asshats, many thinking they are following Jesus, are fine with it. Then we can discuss the thousands killed by gun violence so the gop bastards can have more money and power. Earth…a fucking slaughterhouse…and anyone who thinks this blood covered rock is God’s will can stick the Bible up their ass. And I say that as a Religion major with a degree from a public ivy, the oldest state university in the land. Cue up the howling hypocrites.
