> See, my apartment building has a front courtyard, and plenty of shrieking kids in it. They live here, and they apparently cannot play games together without screaming like banshees with their hands caught in a car door. And sometimes, they are outside playing until ten or eleven at night. They drown out my television, for crissakes.

That’s how kids are.

Though they should not be outside screaming that late. Sometimes later in the evening my own kid is noisy and I remind her that there are probably people trying to sleep, and that’s generally enough to get her to quiet down. When parents don’t even bother, they are assholes.

But not even in the same universe as the asshole who shot the kid. This belongs in the [Evil MFer](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/omnibus-evil-mfers-in-the-news-thread/983496/) thread.
