I agree with the dad here, I am not smart enough to figure out what to do, all I can think of is to volunteer to help with groups that give kids good examples of how to live a life of service and love.

But thats pretty hard if the parents are losers...

The parents in this city need to put their 40s and meth pipes down long enough to raise their children properly.

The parents of both children will suffer indefinitely. As a parent of two children at Palo Verde High School, this tragic incident has had a profound impact upon my life and my family's life. Although I have never me Chris, I am deeply saddened and affected by his death and as a parent, I can only imagine the enormity of the loss experienced by his mom and death.

Common Sense wrote on February 20, 2008 06:03 PM: lest /lɛst/ – conjunction

for fear that; so that (one) should not: "He kept his notes by his side lest faulty memory lead him astray."


less /lɛs/ - adverb, adjective

to a smaller extent, amount, or degree: "The first item cost less money than the second."


The particular phrase "lest we forget" derives from a colloquial end to the Ode of Remembrance; a short poem honoring the soldiers of the First World War.

LESS WE FORGET wrote on February 20, 2008 05:30 PM: Douglas, COLOR isn't the issue as we didn't make a big deal out of the fact that the last college shooter was WHITE did we or the many before him? We felt pity for his family as his father begged the media to leave them alone.

Where’s the outcry when young (high school/COLLEGE) White people commit these same crimes and acts of random violence against the innocent taking the lives of African Americans, Spanish people and people of color not to mention white folks?

I do not see anyone blaming the so-called WHITE “villages” for being the cause or for manufacturer (what ever that means) of these types of MONSTER’S!.

You’ve got some nerve to talk about EVIL when the most SINISTER CRIMINALS in the history of our country are WHITE PEOPLE as the Majority and are from so called good ENVIRONMENTS!

Let it go dude your ignorance’s is showing.

PLEASE I BEG YOU, TO EXPLAIN THAT!!!

LESS WE FORGET

Yes, it Takes a Village.

We no longer judge horrific behavior, we no longer believe there is such a thing as right or wrong. That is one of the reasons so many senseless killings like this go on.

We all make judgements Less We Forget..even you..your judgement is that all behavior..including killing innocent people..is within the range of acceptable behavior.

Speaking of Hell, it takes too long for criminals to die. That's why we should set up a virtual Hell inside every prison in America, complete with a fire pit. That way we can send violent criminals straight to hell, which is exactly where they belong.

douglas wrote on February 20, 2008 03:50 PM: this becomes "a race issue" by the hands of the murderers. if most drive by shooters are non-white and gang members, then they themselves make the murders "race issues".

those who would manufacture children without the desire and ability to raise them are evil indeed. that's exactly the same as "rescuing" a dog from an animal shelter, then only to chain it and refuse it food and water.

to blame the murders on the "village" or the "environment" or some political party is beneath contempt. often after such crimes, the murderers' parents excuse their bambinos' acts because they "got in with the wrong crowd". the news is that their children, the murderers *are* the wrong crowd.
