what an idiot twist to a horrible story.
I have heard about this before on another board and though I dont know why it is not included in what was quoted in the first post, it was said before that the toddler was dead when police arrived. Possibly dead before other people arrived Im sure. Toddlers bodies can not handle the brunt of adult's violence .
Not to mention, it is also not stated here that the man was telling people he had to get the demons out of the child .
He was not a small man either. According to the photographs that were shown before ( I will take a minute and look this up too.. ) he was a pretty stocky man.. appearing to me as if he had possibly worked out on a regular basis.
Elderly people are not always as strong as we would hope they would be, especially in a situation like this.
If this man... lets say he DID work out on a regular basis... was angry, having a psychotic break and already lost in his 'behavior'.. just as people are able to do in dangerous situations, he very well could have brutally beaten anyone else who got near him to only return to beating that child.
If everyone took the opportunity to attempt to stop him, he could have killed them or other wise made it to where no one could call for help.
It is entirely possible that the people who were there could tell the boy was already dead. In that case, there was nothing anyone could have possibly done to change that. ( well.. MAYBE.. but I am not going to split hairs here)
Having a gun at the situation? Is a sick and twisted excuse for some murderous satisfaction. There is nothing in this story that suggests people HAD a gun, that a gun was used by anyone other then the police, and it does not even go into what was done to that man to stop him from beating that child.
You really need your head examined OhiCantspellDavid.
Not only are your typing abilities immature and embarrassing, but your twist on this story in an attempt to reflect your 'personal' views about gun laws is disgusting.
There are children, women and men hurt every day by many people. Guns will not stop that. Guns give people like you a way to live out their vigilante fantasies and kill someone they perceive as being wrong .
There are many horrible acts intercepted every day by people with out guns. Only people who would not have the guts to stand up to someone else would claim they need a gun to "take care of things" and to "defend " themselves.
I personally think you should be ashamed of yourself taking the death of a toddler like this and using it to spout about and try to blame the bystanders for "obeying" gun laws. But, of course , you wont.
You will take this and wear it like a plastic police badge as proof that your ideas are vital and necessary. For some reason you fail to see that force with force does not always equal justice. Yes, there are situations where that may differ... but again.. I am not splitting hairs. You are the exact type of person who will complain about criminals with guns and guns being in the hands of the wrong people.. yet you stand there and squack like a rooster in a hen house about how everyone should have one.
This toddler suffered a horrible death by the hands of a crazy man.
yet you over look that and feed on the idea/fantasy of killing him yourself.
I. cant. believe. you.

You really need to take a look at the government you speak of and realize this is already happening. Stop following the lemming line bud.. it ends at the cliff up there..
