I don't know whether to laugh or cry. The gun was stashed in a box marked "treasure chest" in a child's playroom. Two kids visiting the house thought it was a toy. The 11 yr old shot and killed his 6 yr old nephew. Thank goodness there was a gun in the house to keep them all safe. Not.

I'm not against guns. I'm only against the guns that have a loose nut on the trigger.

Can you think of a better place to stash a loaded gun than a toy box in a child's playroom?

Can Righthaven survive latest legal blow?
I hope not. In the name of freedom, I hope not.

Trust your life or the life of a child to some painted stripes called a crosswalk? Not me.

"I was right" engraved on a tombstone is foolishness.

There is only one way to cross the street safely and that is to assume that the drivers don't see you. Because they don't see you.

What ever happened to "look both ways"?
Now pedestrians don't bother to look both ways when they are in a magical place called the crosswalk. They must believe that painted stripes are a protective force-field!

I'm not blaming the kids nor the driver. I don't care if the driver was Helen Keller. The kids were not taught to be safe. Safety has nothing to do with traffic lights, stop signs or painted stripes.

It is a tragedy for everyone that this occurred.
Without a doubt the parents and family will suffer because of this for the rest of their lives. And the driver will suffer too, for the rest of their life. I cannot imagine what the driver is feeling, let alone what the parents are feeling.

Bottom line. When a pedestrian steps onto the street into traffic it is they who bear the greater risk. So it is the pedestrian who better be paying attention. It's their life.

Crosswalk or no. Every pedestrian is responsible to have the physical ability to cross the street safely. That means the pedestrian is in charge of their own destiny. "I was right" engraved on a headstone is foolishness. When you leave the sidewalk you are in car territory. It's your butt. The driver will feel terrible if you are run over. You'll feel worse or you'll feel nothing ever again. It doesn't matter if Stevie Wonder is driving the car that hit you. It's the pedestrian's job to cross the street safely. Because it is the pedestrian who will suffer otherwise.

Fire the doctors and use the school teachers instead of losing them to school district cutbacks.

(At the Pentagon) This place is a war zone. We must send in the troops! Afghanistan? No. Iraq? No. Where then? North Las Vegas!

Chuckle chuckle..sanctity of marriage.. ah hahahaha

West Lake Mead Boulevard and D Street.

Afghanistan.

Two war zones.

Cold blooded murder.

The republicans make Norman Bates appear sane by comparison. Why mention Harry Reid when this is about republican nonsense? Because some joke/acejoker wants to blame Obama for 9/11/2001 happening on Bush's watch. I seem to remember the Wall St debacle, the Mortgage Meltdown, the billionaire bailouts, the wars without end, the economic freefall also occuring during the Bush presidency. But somehow a coherent timeline eludes those who lie for political gain. That doesn't make you a "class act" Ace. It makes you a joke.
