  1. I think it’s insane that the prison in Baghdad, Iraq has “water fountains, a freshly planted garden and a gym -- complete with weights and sports teams' jerseys on the walls.” It almost sounds like people who do bad things are going to a place to get all pampered. It’s crazy, and just not right.

  2. First of all I think it to be extremely ridiculous to buy an 11 year old a gun. I understand both families had strong feelings towards hunting,but i think the family should have waited to buy there son a gun. Secondly this goes to show where the youth today is headed. Which is a terrifying thought and I dont think I'll be sleeping tonite!

  4. The shooting death of this 11 yr old boy's father's girlfrined is indeed tradgic and close to home but I don't believe the child should be at fault here. The father is the one who bought the gun and should have locked it up in a gun cabinet or gun closet, out of the reach of this minor who is still just a young boy with so much ahead of him. Besides I bet the child has not even taken his hunter's safety course yet and learned firearm safety.
