How much do you love your kids?
11 Answers
The story below.
Basically, a man has a:
1) "psychotic episode".
2) Drives the wrong way down a road hitting a car
3) Gets 3 swords from his car
4) Goes mad and approaches police brandishing a sword
5) Police use numerous baton rounds on aggressor (they are basically plastic bullets, to stop NOT kill)
6) After numerous warnings for the mad man to put down his weopans he is shot dead with proper bullets.
The mother is "devasted by the juries verdict", which took SIX WEEKS to find its conclusion.
My questions:
Why did it take six weeks? Would this have even gone to coroners court in ANY other western country?
Even though your love for your children is great, would you just not accept that he needed to die? Grieve yes, but moan about the verdict???

(For once, the dead mad man actually looks normal)

Anyhoo....
I think most peoples love for their children is pretty much unconditional. I've occasionally been made to think how i'd react ( on here I mean) if Teen Boo killed someone or committed a heinous crime, and to be honest? I don't know! A part of you, your moral part tells you the correct way to act but your motherly part tells you to protect your loved one, no matter what the costs.
I guess the mother in that story only sees the child she brought up and not the fruitcake he really was before he was killed.

On the face of it 10 rounds does sound a tad excessive, however adrenalin acts as a natural pain killer so he probably didn't feel the shots hitting him, I imagine he died when they hit a vital organ like his aorta, they wouldn't go for a head shot as there is a good chance they will miss, or fail to destroy the brain.
As for the unfortunate gentleman's mother? she probably thought the Police didn't need to use lethal force to stop her son, it's natural for a mum to think this way isn't it?

Personally as a parent I would be devasted that my poor son had had the psychotic episode and didnt have any faculties about him at the time of his death not the action the Police had to take.Very sad indeed.
I'm astounded this actually went as far as an enquiry -or does it have to by law if the Police are involved?
Naughty Wardy making me smile at your last comment tut tut ! (True tho)

Sorry. I mean if we don't love our children, despite what we have allowed them to become, in this place they feel so betrayed by such that they feel it's not worth their while engaging with anymore, who else is there who will love, understand, and empathise with their ever-growing sense of frustration and abandonment?
