Kill 'em all you want. Just don’t de-claw them.

Well, to be fair, God probably said that when Jesus was a teenager.

I believe that’s for suicide. _Any_ bridge is ok for throwing somebody else off.

Have you read any further articles on this death, such as:  
[http://www.bradenton.com/2015/01/09/5572189\_before-girls-death-on-tampa-bay.html?sp=/99/100/&rh=1#storylink=cpy](http://www.bradenton.com/2015/01/09/5572189_before-girls-death-on-tampa-bay.html?sp=/99/100/&rh=1#storylink=cpy)

If so you will read a story we’ve all heard huge numbers of times before: the family had extensive involvement with the child welfare, mental health, criminal justice systems. And in fact his lawyer had called 911 twelve hours before her death, warning the authorities he was delusional.

So I think a stronger case can be made for pitting the child welfare, mental health, criminal justice systems who could have saved this girl, but didn’t.

By the way, parents killing other peoples’ kids is just downright RUDE.

It certainly isn’t a way to get invited back for play-dates.

Unless you have a signed permission slip. Then it’s considered okay. Of course, if they don’t send a thank you note, fuck them.

Yeah, for all the jokes and flippancy, eight children in Cairns, FNQ Australia were buried today after being killed by their mother/aunt.
