Every Child Deserves a Mother and a Father…

posted by on November 26 at 9:31 AM

Black Friday edition

A shopping trip on Black Friday ended in charges for a local couple. Police said the couple left a two-year-old alone in a cold car during Thursday night’s chilly weather. Police said it took someone else to watch out for the baby’s safety and call the authorities. The Washington County Sheriff’s Office was called to the Prime Outlets in Hagerstown just before 3:00 a.m.

When they got there, officers found a young boy strapped to a car seat, cold and crying, but the parents were nowhere to be found….

“A concerned citizen called into the Sheriff’s Department in reference to an unattended child left in the parking lot,” said Jason Litten, Deputy with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office.

The two-and-a-half year old baby boy is the child of 20-year-old Laura Havens. Deputies said Havens and her boyfriend, 22-year-old Casey Shields, abandoned the child as temperatures dipped down near the freezing point.

You know, Dan, I completely get your frustration about the discrimination against, and lack of rights for, gay people. There are a lot of qualities that go into being a good parent, and the ability to procreate or create a child as a couple is NOT one of them. However, give us breeders a little break. A lot of us are great parents, and a lot of us agree that a lot of gay people are great parents too, and should be allowed to marry, etc. etc. This article and others like it (for example: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21978448/) should not be used as examples in the quest for gay rights. These people are not humans, and should be sterilized immediately. Without sedation. And then tortured in the same exact way that they tortured their children. The fact that they are straight is irrelevant.

Know what this reminds me of? That poor little French pug that is always leashed on the sidewalk on Broadway event on the coldest days. Who the hell is that owner and can we please sterilize the bastard?

@3 - You're taking this all the wrong way. I don't think he's beating up on the breeders. He's making an excellent point - that should indeed be made over and over again,to then be thrust - nay, JAMMED - in the face of those who spout the bullshit they do.

And fuck you, Ecce. Just for existing in general.

I don't think "boyfriend" counts as a "father." Is that a euphemism for pimp?
