Every Child Deserves a Mother and a Father

Posted by Dan Savage on Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 1:15 PM

A former New York City corrections officer has been sentenced to life in prison for killing his two children—one of them a toddler who was in her high chair when she was shot.... Prosecutor Maxine Rosenthal said George killed his 1-year-old daughter and her 12-year-old brother on Nov. 24, 2004, to punish their mother for seeing another man.

DAN! What's the story with Marlee and the goat blowing?!? Is she no longer (possibly) blowing goats? Since when is she a damn fine journalist?

If you really want to read stories about fucked up parents visit People You'll See In Hell - www.pysih.com.

After a few stories you'll be ALL FOR forced sterilization.

This proves that Euripides is as relevant today as he was 2,500 years ago; a real-life Medea scenario only with the genders reversed.

Here's a story about a poor little boy who two moms weren't any better than a mother and a father.

Some sort of relationship education should be made available to straight young men that would help them to deal with future rejection and being told "no" - especially if they are assholes.

It seems to me that most murders and assaults where the husband kills the wife or the boyfriend kills the girlfriend stem from the essential root of the Man Not Getting His Way.

Pouting and/or drowning your sorrows in alcohol is almost always preferable to committing homicide. Growing up is hard to do but in the end usually saves lives.

Come on, Dan! Enquiring minds want to know more about the Ginter Controversy!

Did Ginter or KOMO apologize? Are you going to run it? Does she still blow goats, and if she didn't apologize, why is she now a fine journalist? Why won't you tell your readers? You made a HUGE, HUGE, HUGE deal out of this, and then dropped it. What gives?

@10 Add a dose of alcohol. Plus a dose of some fucking drug or another. Get the fucker a cheap gun. All the lessons to the contrary down the drain. People are animals and some are trained better than other's. But the fact remains...animals.

@9 OK, good point, forced sterilization is not the only answer, but it is one answer

Better shot in your high chair by your biological dad than sentenced to gay foster care.
