The only way she could “walk it back” is to have her daughter committed. No thought took place in this attack just pure adrenaline fueled hate. I mean, if she had thought about it, she’d have realized her mother’s opponent LOST and that her mother would now be on the hot seat for the attack so bad idea all around.

That’s totally fucked up. Plain and simple. Period. I hope they do time.

I mean, I read the headline and expected “meh, silly childish prank type thing,” but then I saw the photo and he was clearly quite injured and from more than the staplegun. There’s just no room for tolerance of this type of shit.

Why should she resign? Has any Republican ever resigned for what their kids did? Doubt it. Snyder won’t even resign after poisoning thousands of people.

Then what should she do to make amends?

An apology ait a big enough bandage.

It’s just that she’s so passionate, and so angry.

If only she could start a whole trend to get gangs to turn in their guns in exchange for staple guns, the world would be such a better place of less effective and less lethal “gun” violence. Usually being shot in the head by a gun means death.

OK Inversion, she should take full responsibility for her actions. Oh I forgot she didn’t do anything. If I remember right the Constitution has a prohibition against inter- generational punishments, but then again Republicans don’t care about the Constitution.

Strangely that’s how I was feeling, before I clicked.

Yea remember it’s a human being, but “team colors first”, which is definitely wrong.

Wow, I guess she just couldn’t keep it together, and now she’s stuck. If Brad hadn’t clipped the guy, he wouldn’t be in such a bind.
