It's okay. Toddler was using self defense!

What the fuck kind of sick mind uses "self defense," to describe such a horrible tragedy? You're about as funny as that Democrat in Illinois.

That toddler had every right to shoot his dad - he was probably threatening him with "if you don't eat your dinner, you'll have to go to bed" so BAM - guess who's going to bed early now, pops?

#TODDLERRIGHTS

Toddler interviewed by Tucker tonight.

Brussels sprouts, 2 nights in a row!

Told you I was hardcore!!

r1 apparently got lost on his way to "fraulounge."

Won't somebody PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE think of the children?!

Naughty child. We now know what must be done.

These parents suck for putting their kid in a position where he now will spend the rest of his life knowing he killed his dad.

The only thing that can stop a murderous toddler is a man with a gun.

"Here, baby, you hold this rifle while mommy calls the police."

Oh those crazy kids at the Clinton Peabody projects are at it again.

He's a 2nd Amendment Hero!

That kid is going to have one helluva "show & tell" story when he goes to kindergarten!

Yeah, of course it's a terrible story, but I'm glad if there's anyone that got the short of the stick in this story, it's the negligent parents who carelessly left out an unsecured gun & not some kid

Rofl!

BYE MAGAT!

One less Trump voter to worry about.

Wouldn’t the recoil of such a firearm likely injure the child badly? No mention of that.

[quote] he now will spend the rest of his life knowing he killed his dad.

Horrifying quandary, if you think too much about it.

Most bereaved kids have something or someone else to blame while they work through their grieving with anger and depression, even if it’s as simple and non-specific as ‘cancer’ or ‘God’ or ‘a bend in the road’. This child, though, will shoulder the responsibility for this loss himself.

Though I suppose as R14 points out, negligent parents put a weapon in his reach, so perhaps Mommy will get the brunt of his ire when he becomes a young man.

These things would maybe happen less often if the parents/guardians were charged.

EVERY time this happens, "what a shocking tragedy. The family has suffered enough. No charges will be filed".

WAit 4-6 weeks for it to happen again because...America.

Horrible!

But such stories happen over and over again, IT'S really dangerous to have any type of gun in homes with children and teenagers.

Sometimes accidental suicides happen in these circumstances. People shouldn't want guns in their homes.

He'll be a featured speaker at the next Trump rally. One of the more dignified, well-spoken ones, in fact. And least in need of diapers.

One less future republican.

If only the father had also been armed.

Any irresponsible and reckless parent who allows a baby to come anywhere near a loaded gun deserves to die.

Someone's getting coal in their stocking for Christmas.

I'm with r11 on this one.

How tragic and to grow up knowing you did that.

Also, WTF were they doing with a gun and a child together???

Did the toddler crawl across state lines?

On his iPod:

My Baby Shot Me Down.

R26 because MURICA!

The U.S. is awash in guns. I'm serious. The gun manufacturers have fought tooth and nail to be able to sell guns to anyone. Of course government could in fact do things like require gun safes, liability insurance and good training; But no.

And the idiot parents/guardians never face charges because "they've suffered enough"

That’s what you get for letting a toddler watch Alec Baldwin on tv.

OMG R29, was the kid’s head blown off too?

Most American don't have guns; a minority have them and a small minority have lots and lots of them.

[quote] "These parents suck for putting their kid in a position where he now will spend the rest of his life knowing he killed his dad."

Indeed, R9. Accidents happen, but these cases are usually related to some kind of negligence on their part. Here's a story from 2014, where a woman had a loaded gun in her purse in the cart with her two-year-old (in a Walmart), who fatally shot her.

R35 Bitch wouldn't give me my iPad. She learned.

Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)

I'm offering him an internship!

This would be a great opening scene for an episode of "Six Feet Under."

So that kid in Utah is nearly 10 years old now. I wonder if he knows.

Buck would never have shot me in the face when he was a toddler!

So let me get this straight - mom is saying her two year old picked up a rifle and raised it high enough to shoot dad in the back?

Suuuure.

Actually, the twenty-something dad was "unconscious and not breathing" when police found him.

No, Beth - he'd have shot you in the cunt.

What's scary about the US is the fact that even some church loving,innocent looking fraus are crazy for In other parts of the world gun obsession is more of a male thing.

Too many self defenses in the obese American families now!!!!

In Guns We Trust!

It happens in the best of families...

The neighborhood in St. Louis that this occurred in is 80% black. Why do you think that means the victim is a Trump supporter?

[quote]there was also a woman in the home

Yes, that’s right officer. The toddler did it.

Hahahahaha

Family: "Our child was shot when she 'bumped into' a loaded gun sitting on a chair!"

Cops: "Uh, no, one of her other siblings shot your 5-year-old to death."

Family: "Whatever! Now give us money! Here's our CashApp!"

Where is Columbo when you need him?

Two? Maybe more like 35 months? Even that is a stretch to believe he picked up a rifle and pulled the trigger.

Just the one, kiddo?

In my day, you just got a rattle.

[quote]It is unclear whether she will face any charges.

The cretin produced offspring and was obligated to protect it from dangers like loaded guns in the home. The worthless cunt mother should be sent to the gas chamber.

Me feeled t’reatened. Da da say “go to bed or I pank you!” Me standed my gwound!

My favorite idiot shooter story. From 2012, I've never forgotten it. Pennsyltucky fucktard shot his 8 year old cousin at a Halloween party. She had a black and white costume and he thought she was a skunk. You're at a costume party, kids are running around. Yes, let's grab a gun!

Of course he "only got probation because MURICA!"

Why would he get a skunk shot?

"Killer Tot Murders Tot Dad! Where was Tot Mom while this was happening? Is Tot Mom really responsible?"
