"Boys will be boys after all." Please come CAPTION the Crumbleys!!!



The Crumbley's press statement: "The stories picturing us as uncaring parents are absolutely false. We brought James up to respect the second amendment. So it's not our fault. If there would have been a 'good guy with a gun' this wouldn't have happened. We're confident the justice system will treat us fairly so we can start our Good Guy with a Gun Foundation, an idea President Trump has already blessed. We urge fellow citizens to visit our GoFundMe page It'sAllClearBro.com"

Let’s hope they get long prison sentences. I’m waiting to see how the RW faux crowd will represent them.

Springfield, Sandy Hook, Kenosha, and now Oxford...

All caused by parents arming their children.

The Second Ammendment appears to be the only core value these folks thought important enough to teach their son.

I have a hard time believing that any of them can be rehabilitated in years of prison.

but we try to channel our subjects to highlight their stupidity, cupidity, avarice, etc.

So the CAPTION is fictional, but also a portrait of their souls.

...That one is quite old. I learned about it, and I never killed anyone...

..........GOOD GUY WITH A GUN??...what about that very old law?..from before Jesus was ever thought about?

..........Before there were guns that kill. Before there was a 2nd Amendment. Before there were any Amendments,
....Before Jusus, Before Greek Philosophers, Before TV, Before radio. Before there was an idea of, "good guy with
a gun
!!!

And so they think it would have been better if someone had killed their son before he could kill.

rather than teach him anything about the proper use of guns or responsibility of gun ownership. The 2nd Amendment isn't a rubber stamp for the country to be the wild west. Figures they've set up a fundraising page. Fuck them. "Good Guy With a Gun Foundation" my ass.

Since I'm not the only one who realized it was supposed to be satire (all things considered it sounds plausible), maybe it should be taken down.

CAPTIONing at DU goes way back (check out my journal). There used to be a dozen of us and the CAPTIONs were like the funny pages. Besides, for the humor-deficient, I always make it clear, especially so no one quotes the CAPTION elsewhere as though it was real.

That's my take-down.

Everyone is always invited to add CAPTIONs.

There used to be about a dozen people originating these and adding CAPTIONs to other's CAPTION posts.

Check out my journal for a flavor. It really goes back at least to W.'s administration. I only started saving on 2012.

"If someone with a gun would have killed our own son before he got a chance to start shooting, he wouldn't have killed four people and wounded seven others."

Also, the intent of the Second Amendment was NOT to enable children to shoot up schools!

Twenty years hard labor will be good for them.

but they could be brother & sister. Look at the shapes of the ears, faces, noses, and lips. Can't see his chin well but they look similar, too.

The eyes and hair are the same color, too.

No, I'm not kidding.
