1. Sounds like one less Trump vote n/t

3. That is one of the meanest things I've ever seen and democratic underground.

You think it’s funny for a mother to be stabbed almost to death y her own son?

You know how many fathers say those exact same words?

Maybe the guy does need to grow up and get a job. Maybe she is on her last nerve with worry, or feels that she needed to get tough.

Maybe too many people were telling her to stop enabling him, to tell him he needs to grow up and get a job.

Wtf.

Adding to her agony, she was probably thinking as he was stabbing her was “oh my god he is going to spend his life in jail”.

Unless he was abused as a child, such a grotesque betrayal of a parent is a horrible thing.

6. I meant

that the son would be in jail and could not vote. I feel horrible for his mom!

7. Sorry. It's a sore subject.

The son actually is probably not a Trump supporter either, based on his social media.
Sorry I jumped the gun.

8. No prob

As I hit "enter" I half-thought that I should have clarified it. I would never wish harm on anyone--even 45. I just want him in jail ASAP.

So he is white, then.

4. I think you're actually wrong

He appears to be maladjusted, but not white.
