She discharged a firearm within sheer feet of her son’s crib. Bullets do UNPREDICTABLE shit, Mrs. Dash. Like... ricochet, go through walls, mutilate and kill babies, and on the rare and ironic occasion they actually strike and kill the sender. Yeah, you scared off the rapist, but you jeopardized your child and…

Except that she was trying to kill him and missed (and therefore could have hit a bystander) that proves how little a gun helps in most situations.

Yes, this!

It's the "fired several shots but missed" thing that I find worrisome. That's how children and grandmas and neighbors end up dead in their own homes while minding their own damn business.

This explains why Americans always seem to be super casual about gators.

I could go on and on about how dangerous salties are. A couple years ago one took a grown man from a boat. The idea of being close enough to touch one makes me want to throw up.

Agreed. She clearly did not imply that ALL these events were His will. She merely meant that He was probably busy intervening in a sporting event when the child fell and when He noticed He kept him safe until the humans could cap the animal. Satisfied with outcome, He likely then went back to helping with amazing…

Thank you for being a voice of reason. I just had this exact conversation with a relative who is acting like the zoo should be shut down for killing the gorilla. Like you said, I’m devastated that he had to be killed, but the fact remains that human lives matter more than animal lives and it was not a good idea to…

I’m staring at my oldest right now. He’s 17. I’ve been staring at him for 17 straight years. I need to use the toilet so badly. I’ve had to go since 1999.

Hey man, it was just God’s will. He woke up that morning (does he sleep?) and was like, “Fuck this kid deserves a concussion, but Harambe needs to take a bullet to the brain, you know, to test this mother’s faith. When asked, he just mentioned that he works in mysterious ways.”

I have added a warning for the link. It’s awful but I think more than anything if the zoos are going to take on the responsibility of caring for these animals and protecting the animals and public from each other, they need to be held responsible. You know your zoo is full of wild animals and full of excited children…

“But her apology isn’t going to do anything for your life.”

God protected my child until the authorities were able to get to him. My son is safe and was able to walk away with a concussion and a few scrapes... no broken bones or internal injuries.

I want to know what any one of these fucking lunatics would have done if it was their child in the gorilla enclosure. I truly am devastated that the he had to be killed. It’s awful. But between that and a child being ripped to shreds while dozens of people looked on, I’m going with shoot the gorilla.

I have two daughters and I love this so much! I’m always watching out for other people’s daughters. Don’t get me wrong, if I see someone’s boy getting in trouble I step in too (I’m that person). As a woman who has had too many close calls, I feel like it's my obligation!

There is literally no plausible scenario where she didn’t kill this kid. I watched the entire trial and did a shit ton of research and laid it out like a damn logic puzzle, then considered every scenario possible. she killed her kid to spite her harpie mother in a fit of rage, though it did meet the criteria for M1.

I often think that the only true form of justice is the suffering one feels under the weight of guilt. Dostoevsky said it best in C & P. Casey certainly seems like a shitty enough person to perhaps not be very troubled if she did indeed get away with murder, but one of the things that always gets under my skin about…

The chronic lying must have been infuriating to the investigators as it was painful to even read the stories she told them. If you are the last adult known to be with a missing child and you have absolutely no reasonable explanation action about when or where you lost track of the child and in fact deliberately…

The child was found with duct tape over its mouth and nose, and a sticker matching others at Anthony’s house was on the duct tape. Her car smelled like a dead body. The body was found very near Anthony’s house. She never reported her child missing; her mother did, a month after the fact. She told investigators that…

There was a few things that convinced me. One was that Caylee had been missing for about a month, but it was Casey’s mom who reported the child missing. Every time she asked Casey where Caylee was she had a different answer - she was at the babysitter, etc. Finally Casey told her that her child was missing.....ummm…
