if the videos tell the tale, and they must be accurate, i cannot fathom how anyone, especially a mother, hold a child by the legs and thrash it onto the pavement…just can’t understand it…and it won’t go out of my head for a long time to come…just hearing this, let alone seeing the video, as the authorities must have done…horrendous experience…and one has to think of the child’s last moments…sad isn’t big enough a word..

wondering if the scratches on her neck were from the little boy fighting for his life….
The Money Tree says
Is it my imagination or is the quality of citizens in this town fallen into an abyss? Just yesterday, a man name Jimmy, now claiming to be Meghan chased a guy to his car for calling him “sir”. He ended up getting shot. His friends say he was a shining light that only asked others to sparkle. Tell that to his ex wife he beat up and who filed a restraining order against him. We better wake up and start demanding people, all people behave civilly or go to jail like as used to happen – that and public shaming. We don’t need to fill this town with creeps.
Colin Mitchell says
The guy so petrified of being identified along with opinions, that he hides behind a pseudonym, wants public shaming. LOL
The Money Tree says
Instead of trying to insult me which by the way I could care less about why don’t you address this sparkling guy’s history of violence?
Colin Mitchell says
The victim’s past criminal history is not relevant to the case.
Colin Mitchell says
The correct term is “couldn’t care less”, to minimize any comprehension issues, “couldn’t” is a contraction, or the blending of two words, that means, “could not”. I hope this clears things up, a little bit, pretty sure clarity is long in the rear view for you. Have a great day, Pumpkin!
Juice says
Good lord Colin…shut up. If you disagree with him, just move on. I see you trolling this guy all over the place. Seems to me that you can’t get past the fact that he makes good points and doesn’t seem to care what you think. As for a pseudonym, who cares?? What difference does it make? Would you look him up to debate in person? Likely not. Now piss off
Colin Mitchell (real name, not scared) says
Lol! Did your mother name you juice? Assuming the lack of a last name is due to an inability to narrow that pool down.
