A 14-year-old boy has been arrested after allegedly killing his parents and severely injuring his 11-year-old sister at their home in a rural community in Fresno County, California, on Wednesday, authorities say.
The suspect, who is not being identified because of his age, originally called the sheriff’s office after the double slaying and told them someone had broken into their house in Miramonte, attacked his family, and fled in a truck, Fresno County Sheriff John Zanoni said during a news conference Friday.
Detectives later noticed inconsistencies in the boy’s story, according to Zanoni.
“Evidence ultimately showed that he had fabricated the story of a break in and was responsible for using multiple weapons to attack his mom, his dad and his sister,” Zanoni said.
If you view each case separately they are all outliers.
If you look at the US vs nearly any other developed country you’ll see trends in gun crimes and how would you explain those?
Gun nut’s gonna gun nut, logic need not apply
I prefer to give these newish accounts that throw a hand grenade into the comment sections a chance to explain their position and clarify their comments.
Most never do.
I appreciate that, genuinely.
But this troll straw-manned the gun control argument to “banning all guns” – their position is stupid.
And the thing is, at this point whether that stupidity is either willful, or obtuse, they’re not changing it.
I care less about the original commenter changing their minds and more about the people reading it later who might somewhat agree with them.
You can either have a comment chain calling them an idiot that cements it being us vs them, or you can have people trying to engage in good faith and the original comment not being able to back up their position.
Yeah, there’s times where asshole comments from a position I agree with tempt me to change my position. Some people are so bad at debate that they generate new opponents. Insulting or summarily dismissing a position also catches anyone who thinks there’s a good point worth exploring in the crossfire.
Good point
Leaping to absurd hyperbole isn’t an argument, it’s absurd hyperbole.
But… MUH FREEDUMS 😢
Their freedom to make society pay for their right in body count.
