This story sums up what is wrong with 'Merica. A two year old boy shot and killed his own mother while they shoped till they dropped Tuesday in an Idaho Walmart, 'Merica leading gratification location. The 29-year-old mom carried her concealed gat in her purse. Of course the curious boy found it and used it for its intended purpose. The police characterized the shooting as "a tragic accident". Why the woman believed it necessary to carry a weapon while shopping at a big box store was not explained by officials. A spokeman for the Kootenai sheriff's department said "she was visiting relatives" in the area. Her husband was not with her at the time of the shooting. The woman was a college graduate and worked as a research assistant. Idaho law permits the carrying of concealed weapons in public if they are permitted except in courthouses, schools and jails. Walmart's corporate policy defers to state law on the matter of guns in its stores. In November an Oklahoma woman was shot to death in her home by her young child with a handgun.It appears that problems with authority begin at an early age in 'Merica.
In other stories relating to respect for authority, a recently relesed autopsy report shows that the LAPD shot and killed a suspect in the back, contrary to the official version of the suspect's death at the hands of police. Ezell Ford was shot three times, once at close range in the back. Ford was allegedly known to local police as mentally ill. He died in a struggle over an officer's gun in August according to police. The officer who lost his weapon used a personal back-up gun to fatally shoot Ford in the back after his partner had shot Ezell twice. His weapon left a "muzzle imprint" on Ford's back. An apparently inebriated college student was laying in the middle of a dark, country road on Cape Cod after a New Year's celebration Thursday morning. A cop cruiser, responding to an emergency call at 4am, ran over the college student and killed him. And so it goes in 2015 as the football matches roll on, much like it was the year before.
