Here we go again, some fool shooting into a home! Such disregard for human life should be dealt with the same type of recklessness IMO. I guess going somewhere else to cool off or forget about the foolishness would have been too level headed of an option. As long as the criminal justice system remains a joke, people will NOT think twice about committing these heinous crimes.

Hate to say it but you learn what you live. It all starts in the home. Take away the violent movies and videos add some good old fashion discipline, education & Sunday school you get good viable taxpaying youngan’s.

book him
lock him up
throw away the key

let the lady have a free shot back at him, that would be fair........
just let it be with a .45 hollow point.....he'll feel that!!!

what a coward, couldn't handle a conversation/conflict whatever
had to shoot into the apartment from outside, that is so weak and lame.......

he was mad and maybe he didn't want to kill anyone, but was wanting to scare them,,, but that is no excuse for endangering innocent lives and terrorizing his estranged friend whatever their relationship was doesn't matter..... the penalty should still be very harsh for such reckless disregard for life

I agree 100% with you.
Now days kids have advantage over the parents because they know if they got a good old fashion butt warming the welfare would step in to defend them. So parents are just closing their eyes and pretending they don't see what their kids are doing.
Back when I was growing up in Natchez (many years before video games or cell phones were even invented) if someone pulled a gun out and started shooting at people they would have gone down in the history book. Now it is common for hot tempered people to just start shooting at their wife, family, girl friends or even the daughters date. Look at Conner Woods he killed his own parents and friend just because they were in his way.

dixiemama

well, if parents have any backbone they don't worry about the consequences of proper discipline for their kids and do it anyway in their strong belief of what is right and what is wrong

yeah I went through that , and would again, if I have to go to jail to whop my kid when they need it, I'll go to jail..........

out of control teenagers are hell to deal with, but you gotta do what you know must be done, whop em till they're happy you stop, short of unreasonable harm of course, but parents have to draw the line and make it known to the kids that they mean business...........regardless of the consequences!!!

of course a parent can always use that "ungovernable behavior" statute and send their kids on to detention and jail if necessary,

but many parents are just to soft to do that

musicman02, sounds like you know the law sir. Some here will never learn we can not get all the info they want in the article. We must go to court to hear it. Cases are lost by too much info leaked before the trail. I know of some murder cases that were found not guilty that did the crime according to the paper and I know of some that were found innocent and were guilty because of the info released and too much of it.

Believe me I have the backbone, there's no law telling me how to correct my kids or grandkids.
I saw a woman in WalMart one night & her little boy was wanting a truck. She ignored his constant kicking & begging. The child finally hit her with the truck & she stood there like a lump on a log. I took and took until I finally told her he needed a good old fashion spanking, of course she was very insulted and told me she didn't believe in spanking a child because there were other ways. What other ways did she have because she wasn't using them? The ignorant woman also said punishing a child in public was embarrassing to the child. Apparently it wasn't embarrassing to her to be treated like a punching bag. I imagine the boy is a big teenager now and probably stomping all over her.

dixiemama, I believe in old fashioned spanking, WHEN NEEDED, but interference in public from others is probably why a lot of parents don't discipline their kids at home, nor in public. That's the crazy part. We have babies/children in this state who can be literally starved to death and everyone from the family members to DHS began the finger pointing fiasco. Meanwhile, if you discipline your child in public, I am not talking about going crazy, you get people like the parent you saw in the store, calling CPS on you. Children also KNOW that teachers can't discipline them and now parents can't, but it will be a snowy day with blizzard conditions in hell before I allow mine to be disrespectful no matter where we are.

When you see a child that is acting so abusive he will hit his Mama with a toy then kick her I don't call it interfering.
The child is being abusive in public & innocent bystanders shouldn't have to put up with it just because the parents are stupid enough to. You don't have to to become crazy to let your child know you are the boss.
You say you will not allow your child to be disrespectful in public but some parents don't care.
Now as for the incident I was talking about I had listened to a screaming child that I shouldn't have to listen to then when he started kicking & hit his Mama I couldn't take it any longer.
If parents have no control over the children keep them at home. Don't let them worry other people just because you do.

I believe in an old fashion spanking too and really don't care if I'm in public or not. If they're gonna act like an animal I'm gonna treat them like one(figure of speach). I've also told mine that if they decide to call the police or DHS that they better tell them to hurry cause they're gonna get it until whoever arrives.

dixiemama, I wasn't disagreeing with your post. I was merely pointing out that the PC police are out in such a fashion, until people are literally afraid to discipline their children and the children KNOW this. That's all I am saying. Does that mean you don't discipline your children, certainly not.

It takes more than that to make make me not correct my grand kids when I'm in a public place. They know before we go somewhere they are to show respect not only to me but to others.
I know the attitude of the DHS is not to humiliate your child, but what about the parents? We let these kids rule our lives because we fear of what the consequences will be & there will be more violence. Maybe this is what is happening to the morals of people today. There is total disrespect for humans that try to abide by the law.

Power to any woman who's strong enough to spank their kids . Don't let society dictate how you should raise and discipline your children . The earlier you start , the better . It used to be our God given right not to spare the rod on children .

100 years ago, almost all children were routinely spanked for misbehavior, and they were to be seen and not heard. They were also expected to pull their own weight in chores around the home, and they had few toys. Oddly enough, they didn't grow up to be psychopaths and didn't spend their lives in therapy. Rather, they went on to become some of the greatest people our nation has ever seen. Talk to senior adults who were fortunate enough to have been raised in this culture. They speak about their parents (who treated them this way) with love, respect, and appreciation; they don't feel that they were abused or deprived!

It's time for adults to start acting like adults again, which includes that they stop treating children like peers or best friends.

It seems to me we are getting much to sensitive about these shootings.

How can be preserve our cultural heritage if we forget what an integral part of Mississippi culture spur of the moment emotion driven shootings are? It's almost a form of self-expression in Mississippi, an art form protected under the first amendment.

Mississippi blues singer and guitarist Son House shot a man in the head and killed him. He only served two years, mainly because he played around all over the place and people got to missing his music. When he went before the judge prior to his release the judge asked him if he intended to kill the man he shot and Son said no, he didn't. Son was just firing a warning shot apparently and that could be the way it is in this case here. I bet if the judge asked Tranthony if he intended to shoot anybody in the leg Tranthony would admit that he didn't.

All this hypersensitivity to our cultural richness is going to kill our burdgeoning cultural tourism industry if we don't get control of our feelings.
