5 year old killer Hollywood's fault

Last edited Thu May 2, 2013, 08:46 PM - Edit history (1)

CNN gun apologist blames Hollywood and video games for marketing guns to kids. Hollywood didn't buy the gun for a 5 year old and allow him to have it loaded around a 2 year old sibling.

Notice how GOP dogma about personal responsibility no longer applies when it comes to guns?

Ok if Hollywood is to blame for 5 year old shooting his sister, Who exposed him to Hollywood and violent video games??????


He is 5, blame the parents.

WHY IS IT, when Melissa Harris Perry Said the Children belong to all of us, people screamed how dare she say that. Children belong to their parents...


But when a 5 year old kills his sister, It's Societies fault not the parents.

know republicans don't think that way. Which is to bad because if they did maybe that 5 yr old wouldn't be dead. I mean the child's mother was in the house and the rifle was leaning against the corner wall. What do you expect to happen. Bang bang an innocent child is dead and now I bet the parents will make sure they won't have guns in the house and all of a sudden they will be against guns. You watch. Of course sadly that will be because they lost an innocent child.

They also love movies like Pulp Fiction.

How come they don't have nearly as much gun violence as the United States?

Child endangerment is a criminal offense that involves the subjection of minor children to inappropriate or dangerous situations.

The parents murdered that baby, most likely under the influence of good old American gun fetishism.

a chef's knife on a whetstone and chop onions? If suspect not. So why then give him a gun?
