8-year-old boy sends grandmother to Heaven. -
08-25-2013, 09:12 PM
Jesus used an unusual way to sent a 90 year old woman to Heaven. Just wait until the liberals start spinning this into trying to take our guns away!
Quote:
An 8-year-old boy intentionally shot and killed his elderly caregiver on Thursday evening after playing a violent video game, authorities say.Marie Smothers was pronounced dead at the scene with a gunshot wound to the head in a mobile home park in Slaughter, Louisiana, the East Feliciana Parish Sheriff's Department said in a statement. Slaughter is about 20 miles north of Baton Rouge.
Authorities identified the woman as the boy's "caregiver," without stating whether she is a relative. But CNN affiliate WBRZ reported that the woman was the boy's grandmother.
Smothers was 87, public records show.
"By accounts of relatives of the victim, as well as friends of the family, the victim and the juvenile had a normal, loving, relationship and even shared the same bedroom," the sheriff's department said.
The gun belonged to Smothers, WBRZ reported. CNN affiliate WAFB reported that a man identifying himself as the boy's father also said the gun belongs to Smothers.
Studies on video games and violence
Ex-profiler: Video games erode empathy
Although the boy initially told investigators that he accidentally shot the woman while playing with a firearm, the probe led authorities to believe he "intentionally shot Mrs. Smothers in the back of the head as she sat in her living room watching television," the sheriff's department statement said.
The boy won't face charges. Under Louisiana law, a child under 10 is exempt from criminal responsibility.
"We have a child who does not know the impact of the consequences of the act he committed," Sclynski Legier, a lawyer, told CNN affiliate WAFB. "He truly doesn't understand that."
The sheriff's department press release implies the child's activities in a violent virtual world may have led to the killing.
"Although a motive for the shooting is unknown at this time investigators have learned that the juvenile suspect was playing a video game on the Play Station III 'Grand Theft Auto IV', a realistic game that has been associated with encouraging violence and awards points to players for killing people, just minutes before the homicide occurred."
He is now with his parents.
Neighbors say the mobile home park is generally a quiet and safe place, and they wonder why precautions hadn't been taken.
"Where did she have the gun? Where was It placed? Was it in his eyesight? That's what kind of thoughts are going through my head," Johnnie Smith told WBRZ.
Violence in video games
There has long been debate about whether virtual violence in video games leads to actual violence, and it's become more heated since 26 people were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in December 2012. Like many young males who went on shooting rampages in the past, the shooter, Adam Lanza, was reportedly obsessed with violent video games.
Is media violence damaging to kids?
Speaking soon after the shootings at Sandy Hook, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, who led his state through grieving after a mass shooting at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, speculated that there was a connection.
"There might well be some direct connection between people who have some mental instability and when they go over the edge -- they transport themselves, they become part of one of those video games," Hickenlooper said on CNN's "State of the Union." "Perhaps that's why all these assault weapons are used."
A month after the Sandy Hook shooting, John Riccitiello, president and CEO of the video game maker Electronic Arts, said in a conference call with bank analysts there wasn't a connection, but the industry faces a "perception issue," the BBC reported.
Opinion: Video games didn't cause Newtown shooting
Vice President Joe Biden, who is heading an inquiry into the causes of gun violence, has floated the idea of taxing violent games and sending proceeds to help victims and their families, Forbes.com reported.
Studies by reputable academic and medical sources have come to a variety of conclusions over the years. The Obama administration called for more research into the connection following the Sandy Hook shooting.

There are so few details, here, about what the grandmother had done to the boy.
We will find out soon, I'm sure, it was self defense. That's what guns are for, to protect one's self.

No doubt she raped him repeatedly and tried to force him to marry her. Typical slut.
The Bible is very clear on this. I am happy to see Secular law is not totally out of whack and therefore did not attempt to persecute the innocent child
Judges 21:10-24
10 And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the valiantest, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the children.
11 And this is the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man.
12 And they found among the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead four hundred young virgins, that had known no man by lying with any male: and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.
13 And the whole congregation sent some to speak to the children of Benjamin that were in the rock Rimmon, and to call peaceably unto them.
14 And Benjamin came again at that time; and they gave them wives which they had saved alive of the women of Jabeshgilead: and yet so they sufficed them not.
15 And the people repented them for Benjamin, because that the Lord had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
16 Then the elders of the congregation said, How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?
17 And they said, There must be an inheritance for them that be escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel.
18 Howbeit we may not give them wives of our daughters: for the children of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed be he that giveth a wife to Benjamin.
19 Then they said, Behold, there is a feast of the Lord in Shiloh yearly in a place which is on the north side of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goeth up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.
20 Therefore they commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards;
21 And see, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.
22 And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come unto us to complain, that we will say unto them, Be favourable unto them for our sakes: because we reserved not to each man his wife in the war: for ye did not give unto them at this time, that ye should be guilty.
23 And the children of Benjamin did so, and took them wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they caught: and they went and returned unto their inheritance, and repaired the cities, and dwelt in them.
24 And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence every man to his inheritance.
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

This is very tragic news for the boy involved. I'm not concerned for the victim as she is either with Jesus or suffering as she deserves. But this boy has lost his main caregiver (I'm assuming his father is a drunken degenerate since they live in a trailer park) and he literally will not understand what has happened until he turns age 10 two years from now. (Can't they just explain that the heat from police ratchets up to 5 stars awful fast when you cap someone in real life?)
And let's face it, he has lost a prime opportunity to have a Grandmother Smothers and to call her all sorts of fun nicknames such as Grandsmothers. Luckily the Lord works in mysterious ways and we'll never know if she was taken because she used His name in vain or was trying to convince her grandson that prostitutes on roller skates are worth sparing.

If the boy is 8 and the grandmother was 87, then that just shows the dangers of breeding at an advanced age. Either she must have been well past her prime when she gave birth to his mother (or father) or his parents must be getting on a bit. Small wonder that he offed her.

That is just disgusting and I wish I hadn't read it. I feel defiled.

Did the boy make the weapon safe or not?
It's little details like this that they miss out of these things. If not, the father needs to whip his behind.
Jesus spoke to him, that much is plain. But did the little maggot do it right?

Obviously the Devil got into that child. The Devil often uses video games as a means of possessing people. I hope that kid's parents give him a good whalloping to beat the Devil out, or take him to a True Christian™ exorcist.

I think the boy proved he no longer needs a caregiver. As long as they let him keep the gun he should be just fine.
