Florida Again: Toddler Shoots and Kills Mother on Zoom Call

The local story

Another news story

I never understand stories/people like this. I grew up going to many, many redneck homes filled with firearms. The guns were always secured, especially when children were around.

Well. That Zoom meeting sure ended with a bang.

I mean...no words; every day there's some story that blows my mind.

I never had kids. Too much responsibility

Some day this child will learn he/she killed their own mother.

That'll fuck him/her up.

What are the chances a toddler has the strength to not only pull the trigger but hit her right in the head?

That was no accident. The toddler knew what it was doing.

Police report the toddler would say only “Bitch took my sippy cup.”

My father had a handgun in his night stand drawer until the day he died. We grew up knowing it was in there,and we also knew if we touched it our ass would be grass. He also taught us how to handle guns at a pretty young age,so we always knew they werent a toy. Maybe its a southern thing.

[quote]Investigators say the handgun belonged to the father of the victim's two young children. An investigation is ongoing as detectives work with the Seminole County State Attorney's Office concerning if any charges will be filed against the dad.

It's Florida, there will no charges, the father will plead the kid was standing their ground.

Too bad Darwin didn't work his magic before the parents bred.

This reminded me of the toddler who was sitting in the backseat of a car, found a gun under the front seat and accidentally shot his mother. When I did a search I discovered at least four different articles matching this description.

Bang bang, you shot me down

Bang bang, I hit the ground

Bang bang, that awful sound

Bang bang, my baby shot me down

Killer Tot kills Tot Mom!

Nobody puts baby in a corner!

Clearly the mother deserved it. No way a toddler would have shot her if she was loving and nurturing

Well I never in all my life!

It figures that one of the 4 also was in Florida and was a gun nut. Clearly, the Zoom Call killer is a Florida man/woman in training.

[quote]I grew up going to many, many redneck homes filled with firearms. The guns were always secured, especially when children were around.

I did too, until the 1990s. I absolutely remember when multiple families I knew who had gun safes and locking gun cabinets started buying these open-air display cases with maybe a plexiglass door on them, using them to hold a dozen semi-automatics they got at gun shows along with their Rush Limbaugh and 2nd Amendment bumper stickers.

There's something about modern gun culture that makes people very cavalier about gun safety.

“We’re gonna ZOOM, ZOOM, ZOOM-A-ZOOM.”

"Come on give it a BANG. THUD."

Damn, what a hardcore baby.

I told you NO MORE STRAINED PEAS, bitch!!!

Because they've now gone from being a tool to be used for defense to a political accessory.

Right…”accidentally” 😒

[quote] I mean...no words; every day there's some story that blows my mind.

Mummy knows what you mean R5, it blew her mind too!

We found the successor to "Florida Man."

It's Florida Toddler!

Is the toddler's name Stewie?

Wait. He shot her via Zoom?

That’s one exceptional “toddler”!

R31 here is a picture of the perp-tot.

Christ. Those toddlers are fucking good marksmen.

Tot Shot Thot

If the mother had also been armed, maybe this wouldn't have happened.

One should wait until the child's fourth birthday before giving him or her handguns. Only shotguns are appropriate for toddlers.

Another feel good story

Let me guess the kid's name is Trayvon Martin.

This wouldn't have happened if she listened to me.

Same, R3. And I grew up in one of those homes, and we never had a problem, because my father took us out, & showed us what those guns could do. We never touched them without direct permission.

If only I'd been on that Zoom call.

It was more like a Bang! Zoom! call.

Could this be the perfect murder orchestrated by the dad?

"Hey, Tommy -- remember the 'bang bang, you're dead!' game we played? Mommy wants to play that game now. Go get the gun off the table behind Mommy and play the game with her."

And there are Zoom witnesses, so...

r44=Jessica Fletcher

Just when you think Florida’s come up with the best WTFery ever, they manage to take it up a notch.

Sad stupid tragedy.

R44 You'd better copyright your plot there before Law & Odor gets a hold of it.

Darwin

This is the best thread ever. Hollywood needs to make Baby Hitman a movie asap.

[quote] What are the chances a toddler has the strength to not only pull the trigger but hit her right in the head?

R6 - 100% - It actually happened.

Culling the deplorable herd.

Stop or my baby will shoot.

R47, too late! Dashiell Hammett actually used this ideas in one of his early novels, "The Dain Curse." There is a nifty 1978 mini series based on it.

Boss Baby 3: Mob Boss Baby

The child is getting a free, all-expense paid trip to Mar-a-Lago. Sponsored by George Soros Travel, Inc.

The mother probably had was unvaccinated, had COVID, and was going to die anyway.

If only the mother had her own gun...

Look who's shooting now!

These kids do seem to be pretty accurate with a first shot. Beginner’s luck?

ENOUGH FUCKING VIRTUAL MEETINGS ALREADY!

I agree. I have been inundated with significantly more virtual meetings since lock-down began than all the in person meetings beforehand.

Thankfully there was no such thing as Zoom calls when my kids were toddlers.

A toddler would be a perfect patsy to pin a murder on.

[quote] Some day this child will learn he/she killed their own mother.

R5 really? I would have thought the child would be put up for adoption or placed with another family under a new identity, like they do with other child killers.

Will it be sentenced to death?

What's the situation with criminal charges? Do toddlers actually face them?

[quote]What's the situation with criminal charges? Do toddlers actually face them?

Of course not , but the father will be charged for leaving a loaded firearm unsecured and probably manslaughter.

It was WOMANslaughter.

That’s LITERAL VIOLENCE!

If the mother had been able to exercise her freedoms by going into the office without a mask, this never would have happened.

Holy crap! I just watched the finale. I correctly guessed who would die but that's a shitty way to go.

Father arrested

This one has the father's mugshot

I would have never expected this outcome based on his looks.

[quote] The mother probably had was unvaccinated

Yes Shamaya probably was.

I'm the youngest of four. When I was 2 or 3, I was playing in my parents' bedroom closet, and waayyyy to the far back I found a shotgun. Or rifle, don't recall which. I ran and told my two sisters about it. About two seconds after that I saw my parents huddling in the kitchen, with Mama uncharacteristically animated. Dad told us kids to go play outside. We did.

We never saw that gun again.

So if the father gets jail time which won't be much he'll be raising the child? That kid needs to be adopted and fast.

[quote] My father had a handgun in his night stand drawer until the day he died. We grew up knowing it was in there,and we also knew if we touched it our ass would be grass

My Dad was the same way R9. He had rifles for hunting in the garage, and a handgun which he kept in a lockbox under the bed (which I doubt was actually locked but I don’t know).

Had he seen me touch any of them I would have been in for a severe beating (which I know is out of style but sometimes … it works). Once I was a teenager, I’m sure he would have taken me out for lessons, but I just wasn’t interested (my older brother was and he took him).

In private Trump hates guns. He was even appalled that his sons went hunting calling them idiots. Of course he'd never let his base know it.

Toe you I wah hod caw

[quote] That kid needs to be adopted and fast

No one's gonna want a murder tot, R76.

I bet she didn’t breastfeed the little murderer.
