about the secreted weapon at all. And yet - post I responded to is outraged that any sympathy be directed towards the family, and demands both parents (plural) be locked away. I find that pretty judgemental (and a bit draconian) - particularly if we are not yet in possession of all of the facts. Kind of a 'shoot from the hip' knee jerk reaction, so often found in these public forums. You're free to disagree with my take on this (and obviously do) but I'm okay with that. We can agree to disagree.
