Auntie Charo's Soapbox

KUAM reported this evening that a fourteen year old boy was shot and killed by(allegedly) a 54-year old woman who is the neighbor of the child.
Mindy Fothergil reports:"Just after 5pm police reclassified the case as a homicide, arresting 54-year-old Linda Rabon Torres of Yigo. She has been charged with negligent homicide, reckless conduct, possession and use of a deadly weapon in the commission of a felony, and unlawful discharge of a firearm in a residential area. Police confirm Torres did have a firearms ID and was the registered owner of a .22-caliber rifle.
My brain isn't configured to solve why a woman would need to use a rifle so if it was an accident I can't figure out why she would even have the rifle in the first place. I certainly don't have any idea why people have to have guns in their homes, but guess it doesn't matter because if you're evil enough, you can use a knife just as easily to kill a child. I guess I'm in total disbelief. I just can't figure out why people have this need to be so violent, have this need to have ojbects that kill.
I hope that if the woman did in fact kill this boy who will not return to school after his little Easter break and be promoted to the next grade, graduate from high school, get married, join the military ,get married or have children that she goes to jail and is reminded every day of her life by way of a picture of this boy's dead body, and pictures of his parents and siblings as they mourn the loss of his life. Maybe one of the two t.v. news stations will make a PSA of the this so that it becomes a lesson to those who go to the gun before engaging the brain the next time they get mad.
I never really believed in suicide before, but after yesterday's killing of that three-year old and today's killing of the 14-year old.......I much prefer seeing the death of evil one over that of the innocent victim.
What in the hell is happening to these people, have they all gone nuts? April's supposed to be Child Abuse Awareness Month...it's not supposed to be a month to kill as many children as possible!
With all that's going on, I've yet to see anyone from Mental Health coming on the tube to say that help is available for those that have problems controlling their anger.....
Mental Health doesn't have enough funds to hire enough doctors/drugs, help outside of MH is too expensive and most HMO's don't cover antidepressants and or shrink visits..........so.......sickoes do as they please, get mad, kill their kids then turn the gun on themselves...Remember the man who killed his former wife, self and little Erica in Dededo? She tried to hide under the bed so that he wouldn't kill her....he did anyway. There's a house named after her at Tiyan...nothing changes, just the names of the victims.
Shame on us for not trying harder to help these people.
