Ohio mom won't be prosecuted after shooting daughter who was tryingto surprise her
An Ohio prosecutor reportedly wont charge a mother who accidentally
shot her daughter when the younger woman tried to surprise her mom with an early trip home from college. Hannah Jones, 18, of Girard, told her Facebook followers last week that her mother Renee Jones mistook her for an intruder and shot her in the arm with a handgun. As I ran through the door she was in fear for her life and shot me, Jones said, according to the New York Post. https://www.foxnews.com/us/ohio-mom-...er-prosecution That's the trouble with living in fear and owning a handgun. Too easy to make a knee jerk deadly mistake. Most housebreakers just want to rob you, not murder you. -- Bod |

The bullet will strike a friend, or a sibling, or the child who found the gun in the first place. Someone will be injured or killed.

They insist that citizens need to be armed for just such an event or if the US govt went totally rogue and had to be overthrown by the people. I haven't seen anything like that happen, not since the Civil War and I'm not sure private guns helped much in that debacle. But we do have the daily carnage like the above, from these homes full of guns that are supposed to make the home safer. |

I find it sad that all political parties are not putting their heads together to at least try to do things that could possibly reduce the carnage and hearbreak that guns cause in the US on a daily basis. The NRA and religions seems to be the thorns in the side of any progress on that issue. Yes I know that we have a knife problem, but at least we are *trying* to find solutions. -- Bod |

Ohio mom won't be prosecuted after shooting daughter who was trying to surprise her
In alt.home.repair, on Mon, 9 Sep 2019 17:50:45 -0400, Ralph Mowery
wrote: I agree with that. Whatever Trump is for the Democrats are against and anything the Democrats are for the Republicans are against. Let me partially explain that. When Stumpie said we were withdrawing from Afghanistan... almost everyone would be happy if someone with good judgment said that, but based on the stupid things he says and does, the high ratio of stupid to sensible, everyone who has noticed this has doubts. Then it turns out he's negotiating with the Taliban and afaict, the Af. government is not involved. So there's supposed to be a promise that the Tal will negotiate in good faith with the govt. after we leave, but under any circumstances, a statement like that would be unreliable. Then I hear on the news that there will actually not be any withdrawal of troops, or maybe just not the final 2/3rd until an agreement with Afghan govt. is reached, even though I hadn't heard any of this before. Now it's not a question of bad judgment but of the admin's history of lying. This is the kind of thing they might lie about. A few days later and the secret meeting iscancelled, because of one American death. Is that a good reason, considering we had, Stumpie says, killed 100 Taliban in the last 10 days. Are they really going to refrain from killing while they are being killed? (Plus the American was just one of 10, so the target seemes to have been the 9 Afghanis. And the question arises, was Stumpie just having a personal snit, like he does so often. OR is there another reason altgether, and he's lying, as he does all the time, OR something else? So neither position, peace agreement or no agreement fills anyone with confidence. Variations of this apply to some of the other issues. Democrats and others don't trust him. They don't trust Mitch McConnell, or any of those Republicans who have left behind their previous Republican values just because Stumpie doesn't support those values. Much of what goes on is based on trust, citizens for the goverment and government workers for the heads of their department, and everyone for the president. Even if they disagree with his general outlook. Most of the time most people think some mature judgment goes into these decisions and that the executive can be counted on most of the time to do pretty much what it says it will. Except like you say ,spend more money on something and get deeper in debt. I never did see why we would borrow money and then give it away to other nations. Let them borrow the money or do without. Foreign aid is less than 1% of the budget, and believe you me, they don't do it because they're charitable. While I hate to say it publicly, and I'd like the rest of the world to think its given because we're "nice" there is always an ulterior pro-USA motive. |

Ohio mom won't be prosecuted after shooting daughter who was trying to surprise her
In article , bob.effin@tax-the-
workers.com says... If I want insurance coverage, I have to work and pay for it. Welfare people qualify for "free" healthcare provided by taxpayers. and has much poorer results. But the losers are poor, so they don't matter, right? The only losers are the taxpayers. They surrender part of their earnings to the IRS and get nothing in return. Do other countries do like the US ? We will have someone in prison with the death penelty and if they get ill, we will spend thousands on them to keep them alive. The average working man does without many things just to keep those alive . --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |

The average working man does without many things just to keep those alive . Many things? The *total* cost of operating all the prisons in the US is about $80 bil. Only about 10% of that is for medical care. That works out to ~$25 per person in the population, which doesn't sound like very much. What would you do? A prisoner is serving 5 years on a drug charge. They have diabetes or an appendicitis. What would you do, just watch them die? Is that the new Trump Amerika? Why do you want the US to be like Somalia, instead of the EU? |

What would you do, just watch them die? Is that the new Trump Amerika? Why do you want the US to be like Somalia, instead of the EU? It costs about $ 20,000 to $ 30,000 per year for each prisoner. For what? From what I've seen the TOTAL cost to run the prison systems is $20K to $50K per prisoner. Healthcare is about 10% of that total. I would find some way to put them to work. Maybe growing their own food, trainging them for something productive. My dad told me that back in the 30's and 40's they were building roads. Each night they would put them in a big tent and chain them up so they could not get away. They still do that today, in many cases. Around here occasionally we see guys in orange suits picking up litter. Many prisons have some kind of shops producing products, eg license plates or furniture. I remember that sheriff putting some in the tents and said that if it was good enough for our military over seas, it was good enough for criminals. I have a few hundred feet of rope that I would be willing to donate instead of that $ 25. Also have a few trees in the yard that could be used. I see, always with the crazy draconian nonsense. It is reasonable to give the ones that have a sentence where they are suppose to get out at a certain time. Just not the ones that have the death penelty. Those should be executed in less than a month after being convicted. Have you not seen all the lifers or people on death row that have been freed based on new DNA that shows they didn't do it? Or you just don't care about executing innocent people? Executions a month after conviction would make us like some corrupt third world country. Sure we may get a few that are not guilty,but most of those are already in for 10 to 30 years before new evidence is found. I guess that answers the questions. |

Fob James brought the chain gangs back but they only lasted a year or so before the courts shut them down. James had the idea that prison should suck so bad that if you ever got out you'd never want to go back. Sheriff Joe had better luck: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...na-desert.html |
