Death penalty!? Holy f'n ****! I ain't saying that she shouldn't face repercussions; but seriously....the death penalty? I don't think they intended to kill her, but through their own negligence and ignorance ended up doing so. We have laws for that, and those don't come with death penalty results. This ain't first degree murder. ****, the grandmother is a grandmother at 46....46. Dumb white trash doing what dumb white trash does best.
Rereading the Alabama law, there is a provision for capital murder for any murder of a person under 14 years of age. That has got to be what the prosecution is hanging his hat on. Good thing I am not on the jury. No way. I do not believe that any life is more important than any other.
(15) << Murder>> when the victim is less than fourteen years of age.

I was a grandmother at 38. I was a virgin when I was married. My daughter ignored me and married young, too. Does that make us dumb white trash?
Possibly. Statistically speaking, probably so, yes. If you made your grandchild run around till she died because of a candy bar, I'd say most certainly you are dumb white trash. Did you make your grandchild run around till dead?
I see. So it's okay to stereotype all women who married young and were grandmothers before the age of, say, 60 as dumb white trash.
Not just women, men too.
Oh, it gets better! So at what age, Ikari, may both men and women become grandparents without being considered dumb trash? You've already established that because I was 38, I am probably dumb white trash... so how long should I have waited until you would assume I am not dumb and not trash.
Yea, just like typical Americans, they're getting their emotions involved.
It seems that anything involving a child makes people become illogical in their thinking. As a child, as a punishment, I was forced to push mow my parents yard. In July. I got hot as hell doing it, even dizzy, but I sure as hell didn't backsas my mom again. If I'd have died, would she have deserved the death penalty? Absolutely not. Their must be premeditation, and there obviously is not, so that's out. If they don't drop the charges to something that will stick, she could walk.
Do I think she should walk? No. I think that an accidental death occurred through negligence on the part of the grandma. 5-10 years, tops with parole. A child died. The grandma did NOT kill her directly, did not PLAN on killing her, etc. Sorry, no death penalty. Not even close, honestly.

I see. So it's okay to stereotype all women who married young and were grandmothers before the age of, say, 60 as dumb white trash. Would that also apply to women of other ethnicities? Or would black women be generalized as dumb black trash, Asians generalized as dumb Asian trash, and Latinas generalized as dumb Hispanic trash. Perhaps we should just make it easy on you, and consider all women who were young grandmothers to be dumb trash so as not to appear, you know, bigoted against any one ethnicity.
It is really only in America where women have their first kid at 40 so their kid has one at 20 and is a grandmother at 60.
Like minus the unexpected "dumb white trash" part. But I agree, arguing for the death penalty is irrationally harsh in this and it's emotional, revenge based position. I favor a little more mercy.Death penalty!? Holy f'n ****! I ain't saying that she shouldn't face repercussions; but seriously....the death penalty?

Not really. Parents say stuff like that to their kids all time in a figurative sense. Phrases like that are a staple in pop culture. It does not necessarily suggest literal intent to drive a child to collapse.From what I've read, the bus driver for the girl's school bus overheard the grandma say something like, "I'm gonna run you 'til you can't run no more." That statement would suggest intent to drive the child to the point of collapse (physical or emotional??). I'm betting, if that's true (the statement being made, that is) that it has something to do with the selected charges.
My preference for mercy does not depend on whether or not other people have the same preference.Like the mercy she showed her grand daughter?
It's actually really good that we can't do that so we don't devolve as society even further than we are now.It's too bad that we cant force grandma to run till she dies.
It isn't just America, and age of first kid is not quite 40. It's starting to approach 30 (other countries are closer to 30). The number of women who are over 30 and having their first child is rising as well. As a society becomes increasingly complex and educated, the age of first birth goes up. Generally speaking, the more educated one is, the more likely they are to have their first child at a much later date. All the people I know (and this is a small group sample, and not well representative of the whole) have been exceedingly well educated and haven't had their first kid to near or past 30. It's just how the numbers work out. And that’s not limited to the US. It’s common in most of the industrial countries.
Those women are not the majority by any means,
but that does not mean that somebody that has a baby at 18 or 19 is trash.
No ****ing **** Sherlock. Did you even read the rest of the sentence there that you didn't highlight?
Nor did I say that. I said that statistically speaking, it is likely. Not that it is.
Jesus tap dancing Christ on a pogo stick, does anyone actually read anymore? Or perhaps understand a bit of statistics? Go back to school.
Yes I did read what you said.
You are saying statistically speaking a young mother is trash, which means you are saying the majority of young mothers are trash. Isn't that the point you are trying to get across?
God damned it. Our school system is failing us!
