Let’s face it, we’ll never make America great again until our politically correct legal system stops harassing good parents.
I speak, of course, about the McHenry County woman who was charged with a misdemeanor and forced to plead guilty of endangering the life of her children, just because she fired a pistol shot into the TV where the kids were watching a music video. I mean, have you seen some of those videos? What good parent hasn’t wanted to bust a cap into the Sony every now and then, just to teach the kids an important lesson?
The music video was by a band called Primus. I had never heard of them, so I thought I’d look them up because they sounded like they might be dangerous foreigners. Who knows, they might even have been born in Afghan, and you know how nasty those Afghannerites can be.
But according to Google the band members were all born in California — just one more proof that you can’t trust the lying liberal media.
There were plenty of links I could click on to give Primus songs a listen, but I didn’t want to overdo the research for this article, so I took a pass. Facts just get in the way. I trust the mom’s judgment when it comes to protecting her kids from bad influences. It’s her right, isn’t it? Who are we to tell her how to raise her kids?
Of course, the police tell a different story than the mom tells about the incident. The cops say the music video was the target, because that’s what she told them when they showed up to talk to her. Typical government overreach to go all “Justice League” on anybody exercising their God-given right to change the channel with a revolver.
But her lawyer says the cops are wrong to claim she was shooting at the Primus video, because she wasn’t Primus PO’d at all.
No, her lawyer says, the pistol accidentally discharged as it sat in her lap while she spent a little quality family time watching TV with the kids. Don’t you hate it when that happens?
In fact, they all thought it was sort of funny. As proof, the mom says the kids “spent the next week beating the TV with a hammer.”
And that, of course, is where the mom went wrong.
After all, hammers could be hazardous in the hands of those kids, whose ages ranged from six to fifteen. It’s a miracle none of them blackened a fingernail.
There’s a lesson to be learned here: The pistol she shot the TV with was just a little .22 caliber shooter, but if she had watched TV with a full-clipped Mac-10 in her lap and squeezed the trigger for a second or so, there wouldn’t have been any TV remnants left to tempt the kids into picking up something as hazardous as a workbench tool.
Just one more example of the dangers of trying to get through the day with inferior fire power.
Of course, it all would have ended right there if the kids hadn’t gone to school and joked about the incident, where a nosy busybody teacher overheard them and contacted the Department of Child and Family Services. The teacher was probably one of those bleeding-heart arsty-fartsy liberals who want all good Second-Amendment-loving Americans to pound their Glocks into glockenspiels.
Is this really what you want your schools to do — meddle into your home life and tell you what videos you have to tolerate on TV, or how to change the channel? Defending yourself from a nanny state like that is reason enough to sit around with a gun in your lap.
For now, we won’t know how it all turns out until August 12, when the mom is scheduled to be sentenced. She could face punishments of as much as $2,500 or one year in jail for a Class A misdemeanor count of endangering the life of a child.
And it’s doubtful she’ll ever get her hammer back — which is probably a good thing because she has a lot to learn about kids and tool safety.
Unfortunately, I don’t hold much hope that she will be treated fairly by our court system because the case is being decided by a woman judge, and you know how hysterical women can be when it comes to kids. They all let their emotions get in the way and go overboard with political correctness. I think the judge should recuse herself from the case, because there’s no way a woman judge can control her lady-juice hormones in a case involving kids. (Or in any case, for that matter.)
The woman judge’s name is Sharon Prather, which sounds kind of foreign, doesn’t it? Remember that guy who used to be president of that country where all the Jews live — wasn’t his last name Sharon?
I was going to Google the judge to see what terrorist country she might have been born in, but I didn’t want to get bogged down with a bunch of wonky facts since I’d already made up my mind about her, so I let it go.
Anyway, I intend to keep a close eye on this poor mom’s sentencing in August, because if things go wrong for her, there’s only one political candidate to vote for in November who would pardon her if he gets elected.
Because when he’s President, trust me, he’s going to “make America great again” — with the help of millions of Americans who agree with every word I’ve said here.
