Northwest Indiana Discussion

Yeah right.
Too funny, still hopelessly trying to turn Texas chickenshit into chicken salad.

Meanwhile republican hypocrites are now begging for big government federal money.

I ask you, is this a great country or what?...Hey, only in America.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

• Family members describe the shooting as a tragic accident
• The boy got the Crickett rifle for his 5th birthday, officials say
• The mom was home but had stepped outside, a police spokesman says
• In April, two more incidents of young kids shooting and killing others

(CNN) -- A Kentucky mother stepped outside of her home just for a few minutes, but it was long enough for her 5-year-old son to accidentally shoot and kill his 2-year-old sister with the .22-caliber rifle he got for his birthday, state officials said.
The shooting that took the life of Caroline Sparks in southern Kentucky has been ruled an accident, Kentucky State Police Trooper Billy Gregory said.
"It's just one of those nightmares," he said, "a quick thing that happens when you turn your back."
Young children in the area are often introduced to guns at an early age, Gregory said.

Ferguson: Irresponsible humans, not guns"
In this part of the country, it's not uncommon for a 5-year-old to have a gun or for a parent to pass one down to their kid," he said.
Her family kept the Crickett rifle in what they considered to be a safe spot, Cumberland County Coroner Gary White told the CNN affiliate.
The boy was playing with it Tuesday when it accidentally went off and killed his sister, White said.
"The little Crickett rifle is a single-shot rifle, and it has a child safety," White told CNN. "It's just a tragic situation."
Kids and guns: 'These are not isolated tragedies'
The Crickett website features three .22-caliber rifle models for kids, with shoulder stock colors ranging from pink to red, white and blue swirls. "My first rifle" is the company's slogan.
Family members Wednesday described the shooting as an accident.
"He just picked (the gun) up before he realized it," grandmother Linda Riddle told WLEX.
Riddle said her granddaughter enjoyed singing and playing outdoors, and she loved her brother.
"It's just tragic," uncle David Mann told the CNN affiliate. "It's something that you can't prepare for."
Riddle said she is devastated, but comforted knowing that her granddaughter is in a better place.
"It was God's will. It was her time to go, I guess," she told WLEX. "I just know she's in heaven right now and I know she's in good hands with the Lord."
CarolineSparks' death comes after two other incidents in recent months involving young children shooting others. In early April, a 4-year-old boy in Tennessee shot and killed a 48-year-old woman, and just days later, 6-year-old Brandon Holt was killed in New Jersey after being shot in the head by his 4-year-old playmate.

That just means that evil Wall Streeters and trust fund kids have gotten richer while Reege-tarded down-and-outers are still standing in line at gas stations and tobacco shops buying lottery tickets. That, and waiting to fork over more of their income to the incompetents in LC government.

Nah, it does not mean that at all, fact is there are actually a lot of people in Dyer, Highland, Munster, Crown Point, Schererville, St John, Valparaiso and Chesterton who have gotten richer just like those evil Wall Streeters and trust fund kids.

I am not talking about your run-of-the-mill Reege-tards that have a couple hundred shares of Arcelor-Mittal or British Petroleum in an old cigar box somewhere. Sure, these folks will have benefitted from the stock market run up. They will celebrate their good fortune by buying a new fish locator for their bass boat, tricking out their '78 Camaros, buying a couple extra cartons of Marlboros and lottery tickets, or spending a couple extra days at the Dells this summer. I am talking about the 1%-those who have reaped fortunes from the bull market. Those folks you detest--they are the ones who have really made out in the past few years.

Of course, I am excepting guys like you and Sparks. It goes without saying that financial whiz kids like you always buy at the bottom and sell at the top. I know you both got into gold eight or nine years ago and just now bailed. I also already know that you two bought into the stock market big time in 2008 and will be getting out when it turns. I know that when the real estate market was utterly dead, Sparks was flipping properties and locking in $20,000 on every turn. Even though most Reege-tards are clock punchers or have retired from menial labor jobs, the most vocal of you always have an extra few thousand that you can't wait to send to local, state, or federal governments once they have the guts to do the right thing and raise taxes.

No Laffy, you don't know.
Trust me, you really, really don't know sh*t.
Never "got into" gold or bought into the stock market big time in 2008. I bought into the NASDAQ big time in the 90's and bailed out before the bubble burst.
Now you know something.

Yeah, me too.
Still waiting since 2010 for the house republican assholes to up with any kind of job legislation.
