That will teach those kids to be born poor!

"A YouTube channel the family appeared to have created in 2009 includes a profile that reads, 'We are Shell, Ramie and Tim. Mom, daughter 10 and son 8. We like turtles, horses, and being outside. The kids have two turtles, an alligator snapper and a red eared slider. We work on naturalizing them and try to give them the most natural setting possible.'"

Why the kids? If you are so despondent that you see no way out why not just shoot yourself? Hope there is a hell and she is in it at the moment.

She shouldn't have spent the grocery money on ammo and a gun.

She did it in the wrong order.

The thing is, food stamps are pretty damn easy to get.

FTFA: but was denied because she didn't turn in enough information

Look you stupid biatch, government runs on paper. Dig out the (probably minimal) paperwork they asked for, don't shoot your kids. Or shoot yourself, but leave the damn kids out of it.

That poor family. A mother who was so desperate her kids last memories of her will be this. A lot of people in the Great Lakes are moving south thinking "There are jobs in Texas" and expect to find automatic pay checks. How bad does it get before you give up and kill your own children?

it should be interesting to see where more millions will be spent after this incident; ensuring that acts of terrorism like this never happen again at a local government office, or ensuring the poor can more easily be fed without ground to dust under the wheels of bureaucracy.

Seriously? Stupid biatch? She was clearly unstable. And you are talking about how easy it is to do the paperwork? That really isn't the point.

Porn for republicans right here. So many right wing loads were blown over this that I could actually perceive the change in barometric pressure.

One Bad Apple: She shouldn't have spent the grocery money on ammo and a gun.

While unlikely, I must consider the remote possibility that the firearm, and ammunition with which it was loaded, was not obtained through a legally licensed seller.

To answer your serious question with a depressingly serious answer : moms in this situation off the kids because they think nobody will take care of them when she is gone. It's better they die by her own hands than wind up in social services and suffer even more at the hands of a stranger.

Just think of the possibilities of this.

Instead we could've been reading a story of how she stuffed her kids' faces with gravied meats, cheeses and wholesome veggies at the local Gun's 'N Ammo because they wouldn't give her slug stamps.

Before this thread completes its spiral into the "They're looking for handouts" and "You just hate the poor"

I will note that it looks like she failed to both of the following:
A) Complete the application
B) Show up for her first meeting

It's a tragic story, but at first glance I don't see 'government incompetence' run amok or anything like that.

FTFA:
Goodman didn't know what Grimmer specifically failed to provide. In addition to completing an 18-page application, families seeking state benefits also must provide documents proving their information, such as proof of employment and residency.

"We were still waiting, and if we had that, I don't know if she would still qualify or not," Goodman said."


18 pages plus other paperwork demanded. Some states intentionally make the application process very demanding and even demeaning.
I suspect conservative states such as Texas would be among that group.

Frankly, I think moving to Texas was one of many bad decisions that culminated in this tragedy.
Also, she should have started with herself.

Despair is a powerful drug....

``If they would rather die,'' said agoodamerican , ``they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.

I really hope the Ghost of Christmas 12 gauge shows up and dumps a load of buck shot in your ass.

This is really sad. My daughter has special needs and we applied for medicaid as a secondary insurance for her. Trying to get this done, despite the fact that she automatically qualified due to her diagnosis, was very difficult and resulted in dozens of faxes they "never received", phone calls they never returned, etc. I ended up having to drive in and get it taken care of by being kind of a bully. I certainly don't condone going in with a gun, but if it was a matter of getting food for my kids- I can understand the desperation.

So terrible that it ended the way it did. These people do not treat you like a human being until you are approved- that is for sure.


/Hopefully this thread isn't going to be too nasty about me admitting that.

You don't know what this lady's background is. Maybe she's been living in her car for months with the kids. But oh fark no, it is inconceivable that maybe she had a real reason to become so depressed that she'd do something like this.

I'd like to see how you privileged farks handled some real hardship, which most of you never have. And due to your hard, hard work at being born into the right family, most of you never will.

I get that, but as a parent how can you possibly look into the eyes of your child and shoot them. How could you find the strength to do so? Also, not putting blame here, but I would suspect that there were signs that this woman was mentally unstable. Have we gotten to the point in this society that we no longer care to report those that are on the edge to try to get them some help and protect those around them?
