Having never been a boy---

But as the mother of two boys, how difficult is it to "Knock" that orange plastic tip off???? Was the TOY made in the USA? I only remember one USA company that advertised it's product as "indestructible" - Timex!! How many times does the toy have to be dropped??? How many times does it have to be "banged" against the door frame??
I think sometimes we're forgetting what it's like to be a child, which is such a shame. We are holding them to adult standards - that adults can't meet themselves.
The police told him to "drop the weapon and put his hands up". Imagine the terror of being yelled at by the police, our children have been watching the news reports, old style and new style media, so they are aware of the deathly danger the police pose to young people, especially young men - red, yellow, brown, black and white. A lot of the responses here are from adults who are in a state of terror and panic, making a speech in front of a live audience in public. Stop this is nonsense.
If we as adults can't deal with children, maybe we shouldn't have occupations where we must come, the horror, into contact with them - ever!!!

Only In America!!!

Is the life of a dog more worthy of criminal charges, indictment and trial than the life of an African American child? Did the dog pose such a threat, that the man feared for his life? That's often the excuse used whenever an African American child is murdered. Was the dog's barking too loud? An African American child's music was too loud. Did the dog charge? An African American child was accused of charging while eyewitnesses say the child's hands were up in an international sign of surrender.
I have a pit bull, a 90 lb. lapdog, the breed's bad reputation is just as misunderstood as an African American child, I have two of those. I've never had a Caucasian person compliment me on how well behaved my children are, but they'll just walk right up to my pit. I've raised them all equally as well.
Maybe you should reexamine yourselves to see if the "FEAR" isn't really "HATE And JEALOUSY" as required in 1 Corinthians 11: 28 - 30 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
Or maybe we should stop pretending to be Christ - like!!!!!
