How about "reasonably priced shawn..."

Not sure if anyone else saw that his pictures of his father all show him in his jailhouse blues... Go figure.

This is the kind of stuff that terrifies me. I don't live within the city limits of Yompton, but my mom still lives on the East side. That means we visit frequently and my kids spend the night at her house from time to time. My mom lives on a rather quiet street where no one bothers each other and the neighbors all still mostly look out for each other, but how much longer will that last? They're one of the last neighborhoods with an 'older' population and none of the yutes hanging around, but that can't last forever.

I feel so horrible for that family and I can't/don't want to imagine what they are going through right now.

Saw on the news that he was on probation at the time the shooting took place. They also brought up the fact that he was booked into Mahoning County Jail at least 8 times before. ~.~

In the last three years...

So, he's 21 now and has been arrested at least eight times since he turned 18. I'm pretty sure there's no one talking about him being a 'good boy' who was 'just starting to get his life together'. There are only a few details about what some of those arrests entailed, but how many chances can someone get to straighten up? Gee, why don't we let this repeat offender back on the streets so he can kill an innocent child in his sleep because someone hurt his feelings? In what plane of reality do you reside where you think this is OK behavior? I just don't get it.

Am I the only one who wonders why "possibly an AK-47" was in the article? How would they know that? Did they put it in just to sensationalize the story a little bit more? It could 'possibly' have been almost anything. Even if they had the empty brass, there were still a number of possibilities other than the eeeeeeeevil AK-47.
