When you teach children to hate - 4 yr old shoots at police

[timjake]

Unbelievable, but unfortunately true:


"As police struggled to arrest a man who allegedly pulled a gun on McDonald's workers for messing up his order, one of the officers turned toward the man's car.

He saw a gun pointed at his fellow officers.

The officer swiped the gun to the side as it fired, the bullet grazing his arm and shooting up into the awning above the McDonald's drive-through.

It was then that he got a look at the shooter — a 4-year-old boy.

Police said the boy fired because his father, [named], had told him to shoot the officers. Aside from the intervening officer, no one was hurt. [father], 27, was arrested during the Monday afternoon incident and charged with felony child abuse and the threatening use of a dangerous weapon."

Actually, this is no shock at all.

Most of the juvenile offenders I have dealt with over the years had parents that were just like them or worse.

This is sad in so many ways. I just do not understand how our society has come to this place.

There is a movie called Idiocracy which is a comedic societal parody. We are living it.

No surprise. Kids are being taught hate both at home and in public schools.

Like father, like son. Society is sick, the cure will not be pretty.

After teaching High School for 15 years, every time is got a "hard case" student in my caseload, meeting the parent(s) explained a lot. I saw "MS-13" tats, "spider web elbows", many "gang affiliated markings" along with "cheek teardrops" often and regular. For the last 10 years I became "Sergeant Schultz." Joe

Sickening...kids are born blank slates. Stating what I would like for the parents would get me banned forever.

I think this is a direct reflection of the results of the Warren Court. So many other things could be said but I already have one ding on my plate and don't want another. This is not a political statement rather an observation of our current society.

Met a parole officer years ago and he told me most of his cases were younger people and once he got into their history many were a 3rd or 4th generation felon.
We are always hearing about the slippery slope. No need in hearing it anymore as we are now on it.
