This is such a tragic story. Condolences to the mother and her family.

I really can't make sense of the story. It's just too weird.
Yeah, I picked the story because it had just enough information but then some big gaps where we don't know.

It's like a rohrshack test.

No, not at all. The Zimmerman thread is what spawned all the "copy cat" threads that I'm predominantly targeting with ridicule.

I guess I'm also mocking some of the posters that have filled the Z-thread and have rushed to portray either party inaccurately to push agendas. However, it's the dozens and dozens of copy cat threads that are the primary source of disdain.

If racism weren't almost as effective a tool as religionism, the divide-and-rule leadership would have a tougher time managing the people.

LOL. We have dozens of REAL threads like this and when someone mocks them....THEN people get upset?

I saw that she was black and the baby was white which was definitely odd. I don't think race was even a factor but the woman appeared completely insane on the surface. But she had help and that points to two insane people which is not that likely. But they'll have the toughest possible sentence handed to them.
Its a bizarre and tragic crime, focusing on race is just pathetic.

She will be given the death sentance here in TX if convicted. She may be able to plead insanity but that will be a tough sell.

Makes you ask ... Why ??

From the article: Investigators said McClain's statements included information only the shooter would know and indicated she attacked the mother Tuesday as part of a wider plan to kidnap any child and that Golden was simply a convenient target.

So why would this have anything to do with race? It's a tragedy, and they've arrested the murderer.

But, you're right, somebody will ask "Where is the outrage?"

Why would she take a white baby to pass off as her own when her fiance is also black? She must have a very low IQ is she retarded?

Do you always have to be so offensive? The woman had been telling people for quite a while that she was adopting a baby.
