[QUOTE=alphaboi867] So instead of a few decades living in a concrete cell the scum gets a quick death? [/QUOTE] Not to argue with you, but I came up with a possible retort that the mom and daughter would say… “Would I want this guy still breathing and angry (with even the slightest possibility of seeing daylight again) still on our minds, or would I rather live out the rest of my days knowing that he’ll never be in our lives again.” TheirMMV. ---

If a puppy also took a bullet for the child, then it’s be the Ultimate RO thread. And also, the bullet went through a kitten and then circumcised a pro-foreskin activist before hitting the puppy. ---

[QUOTE=Li’l Pluck] Question: (snip)Did he serve prison time? [/QUOTE] according to public records, some one with that last name and an alternate spelling of the first was on parole in De-troit for assorted violent crimes, picture seems to match the one in the news link. Haven’t a clue if mom knew his record, though. So, since he was on parole, yes, he did prison time. ---

[QUOTE=wring] short limb indeed. Michigan has a public website that gave me the info, certainly she could have also checked. [/QUOTE] Thanks. I gotcha. I was referring, though, to what I’ve seen and heard of in my travels: that there are women who will, for a variety of reasons–economic, psychological, whatever else–not only consort with known criminals or men of dubious moral fortitude, but also take them into their homes, expose their children to them, and, unfortunately, produce more children with them. How sad, and how stupid. So, of course, I was wondering if this might be the case here. And I wouldn’t be surprised if it were. Note (for those who might misunderstand me) that I’m not saying that it _is_ the case here, just that I wouldn’t be surprised. P.S.–Not to ignore or dismiss, by the way, what I thought was \*\*Darth Nader’s \*\* very reasonable point. ---

I initially read the title as ROI - return on investment.
