If this story turns out to be substantially true as presented here , we have perhaps the best target yet for our Recreational Outrage: some loser shot his girlfriend, and her seven-year-old* daughter stepped in front of her mom, so he shot the little girl six times, too.
*it’s possible she’s 8, according to the link
Kicker number one: she’s visually impaired to the point that she’s in special education. This stain shot a half-blind little girl.
Kicker number two: then the chickenshit surrendered peacefully to police. Apparently it’s one thing to shoot an unarmed woman and a disabled child; another thing entirely to face people who might shoot back.
I don’t know any of these people, and for all I know this is an internet hoax. (It does seem to be in multiple places though.) So I’ll take my lumps for RO posting and more if it’s false.
If it isn’t, here’s to little Alexis Goggins. Not many would have been as swift and as brave. May you recover fully – we could use you, and more like you.
That little girl is such a cutie! I really hope she recovers fully and goes on to have the kind of life that her mother’s piece-of-shit pussy plug tried to deny her.
And I’m glad the mother survived, too.
Now, here’s my thing (as if no one else was thinking it, right?): According to the article, he’s a four-time convicted felon. Now, even though the article doesn’t classify the dickhead’s crimes as either violent or non-violent, still, he’s a four-time convicted felon.
Question: What, if anything, did the mother know about his past crimes and convictions? And did he serve prison time? And if so, did she know about that?
I mean, it’s like, damn, do we now, before involving ourselves in relationships, need to inquire as to whether or not potential mates have criminal histories? Absent other obvious signs of malcontentedness or moral deviation, of course.
Damn.
–Me, reminded yet again why I’m content to be alone.

I disagree, I can name some better candidates.
Nine Day Old Infant Killed By Rape To top it off, the asshole who killed this baby, began to beat her mother in the car, en route to the ER.

wry I read more than one place that deals with true crime. Blogs, and a message board. I work to keep it from taking too much out of me though. Guess you don’t read the Websleuths board, or Steve Huffs’ blogs/other true crime blogs eh? Whatever you do, don’t peek at Parents Behaving Badly. I don’t go read there often, bad for my blood pressure.
Somewhere online, there has to be a recreational outrage blog with the latest news of extreme child abuse, animal torture and cruelty, and criminal sentences against women in nations with Sharia law.

I don’t see why this is a ‘kicker’. Would you be happier if he shot some cops as well?
OTOH, you have also falied to consider that he was simply out of bullets.
I think it’s more along the lines of “If he had taken a shot at the cops, they would have killed the scum, saving the county the cost of a trial and incarceration.”

So instead of a few decades living in a concrete cell the scum gets a quick death?
Point. But when he gets out of jail he’ll just do something like this again. The recidivism rates for this sort of thing are very high. Easier all around to cap him quick.
Moot point. He’s a part of the System now, and likely will be for life, more or less.

Of course there is–and somewhere in cyberspace someone’s rubbing one out while reading it, too!
Fuck, save me a window seat…

My theory is that he’d just decided he wasn’t really that good at this sort of thing and gave up.
I mean, I don’t know much about the mechanics of shooting people, but I feel that if someone gave me a gun, 8 bullets and a more or less stationary blind 6 year old girl and her mother I could manage to successfully kill at least one of them.

You are so going to hell! Would you like me to save you a seat?

Horrible as it is, this was exactly my thought. How could they both survive? Are we sure it is the girl who is blind?
