fuck this shit

BRUNSWICK, Ga. — In five years, Sherry West has lost two sons to unspeakable violence.

The Georgia mother was grieving from Thursday's shooting death of her 13-month-old son in his stroller during an attempted robbery while they took a morning stroll. In 2008, her 18-year-old son was stabbed in an altercation in New Jersey.

A pair of teenagers was arrested Friday in the most recent shooting. West had just been to the post office a few blocks from her apartment Thursday morning and was pushing her son, Antonio, in his stroller while they walked past gnarled oak trees and blooming azaleas in the coastal city of Brunswick.

West said a tall, skinny teenager, accompanied by a smaller boy, asked her for money.

"He asked me for money and I said I didn't have it," she told The Associated Press on Friday from her apartment, which was scattered with her son's toys and movies.

"When you have a baby, you spend all your money on babies. They're expensive. And he kept asking and I just said `I don't have it.' And he said, `Do you want me to kill your baby?' And I said, `No, don't kill my baby!'"

One of the teens fired four shots, grazing West's ear and striking her in the leg, before he walked around to the stroller and shot the baby in the face.

Seventeen-year-old De'Marquis Elkins is charged as an adult with first-degree murder, along with a 14-year-old who was not identified because he is a juvenile, Police Chief Tobe Green said. It wasn't immediately clear whether the boys had attorneys.

Police announced the arrest Friday afternoon after combing school records and canvassing neighborhoods searching for the pair. The chief said the motive of the "horrendous act" was still under investigation and the weapon had not been found.

"I feel glad that justice will be served," West said. "It's not something I'm going to live with very well. I'm just glad they caught him."

West said detectives showed her mugshots of about 24 young men. She pointed to one, saying he looked like the gunman.

"After I picked him, they said they had him in custody," West said. "It looked just like him. So I think we got our man."

West said she thought the other suspect looked much younger: "That little boy did not look 14."

The slaying happened around the corner from West's apartment in the city's Old Town historic district. It's a street lined with grand Victorian homes from the late 1800s. Most have been neatly restored by their owners. Others, with faded and flaking paint, have been divided into rental units like the apartment West shared with her son. The slain boy's father, Luis Santiago, lives in a house across the street.

A neighbor dropped off a fruit basket and then a hot pot of coffee Friday as a friend from the post office dropped by to comfort West.

Santiago came and went. At one point he scooped up an armload of his son's stuffed animals, saying he wanted to take them home with him. He talked about Antonio's first birthday on Feb. 5 and how they had tried different party hats on the boy.

"He's all right," Santiago told the boy's mother, trying to smile. "He's potty training upstairs in heaven."

West said her son was walking well on his own and eight of his teeth had come in. But she also mourned the milestones that will never come, like Antonio's first day at school.

"I'm always going to wonder what his first word would be," West said.

Beverly Anderson, whose husband owns the property where West has lived for several years, said she was stunned by the violence in what's generally known as a safe neighborhood where children walk to school and families are frequently outdoors.

Jonathan Mayes and his wife were out walking their dogs Friday, right past the crime scene, and said they've never felt nervous about being out after dark.

"What is so mind-numbing about this is we don't have this kind of stuff happen here," Mayes said.

It's not the mother's first loss of a child to violence. West said her 18-year-old son, Shaun Glassey, was killed in New Jersey in 2008. She still has a newspaper clipping from the time.

Glassey was killed with a steak knife in March 2008 during an attack involving several other teens on a dark street corner in Gloucester County, N.J., according to news reports from the time.

"He and some other boys were going to ambush a kid," Bernie Weisenfeld, a spokesman for the Gloucester County prosecutor's office, told the AP Friday.

Glassey was armed with a knife, but the 17-year-old target of the attack was able to get the knife away from him "and Glassey ended up on the wrong end of the knife," Weisenfeld recalled.

Prosecutors decided the 17-year-old would not be charged because they determined that he acted in self-defense.

Sabrina Elkins, the sister of the older suspect in the Georgia baby's slaying, said Friday evening that she believed her brother was innocent of the charges. She didn't know whether he had a lawyer.

"He couldn't have done that to a little baby," she told AP. "My brother has a good heart."

She said that her brother had been living in Atlanta, and only returned to Brunswick a few months ago. Typically, he would come by her house in the morning and they'd go to breakfast. But Friday morning, police came to her door as her brother was approaching along the sidewalk.

"The police came pointing a Taser at him, telling him to get on the ground," she recalled by phone. "He said, `What are you getting me for? Can you tell me what I did?'"

oh lol fuck me what was the name of that youtube channel? so hilarious

interesting

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ky0ovnfosPo

v. interesting

That one interviewer dude sounds so high.

Adam sounds like a squirrelly guy though. Interesting story nevertheless. Dude has some mother issues from what I could tell. Makes it all the more reasonable to lash out in some unfathomable manner the way he did.

Then again, still a lot of questions surrounding the Sandy Hook shooting. Mostly crackpot theories though.

It's just so hard to imagine these kinds of things.. maybe I just don't want to.

wow, interesting indeed

thanks for posting.

kinda confirms my feeling that his environment contributed to him turning into a "mass shooter". and it's not a feeling which gives any comfort!

Oh come the fuck on chimpanzees do not socialize in anything like the same way humans do. To insinuate that they do is an insult to chimpanzees. Jane Goodall's opinion on Travis: http://articles.latimes.com/2009/feb/25/opinion/oe-goodall25

To compare what the chimpanzee did to the acts of a mass murderer is something I would characterize as delusional.

I think the Xanax negates any parallels that could possibly be drawn lol

"I don't understand what possibly went wrong...we were feeding Travis this stuff that causes dis-inhibition and agitation and..."

damn he sounds autistic/aspergerry as fuuuck

That definitely cannot be counted out. It seems like his owner had given it to him for the first time the morning of the incident?

I recently watched a PBS Frontline special about this called "Raising Adam Lanza". It was also interesting.

More importantly, though, is the fact that THIS was the thread that had that hilarious "Mind=Blown" video. I was looking around for it and couldn't find it the other day. Isn't that the same guy with the immature prank on TEDx? This is important.

The point is not about him being right or wrong, imo. It's more about him being able to articulate a different point of view in the way he did.

Apart from the, imo, superficialities of sounding like a robot and what not. He showed he could tell a story with an interesting point of view and with a sense of emotional awareness which I wouldnt expect from someone who is labelled as assburgers. (Also note that assburgers doesnt explain mass shooters. It might even be the opposite: if he would be assburgers indeed, he wouldnt have become a mass shooter. ...wasnt this already mentioned in this thread?)

What makes it more interesting is those pictures of his room and those stories how he was basically locked away from the outside world. Either from his own will, or forced even perhaps. In the media the frame is that it's from his own will, but if you take another frame, the entire story can shift into another direction quite easily. And who am I, or who is the media, to make assumptions about any of it?

was he on SSRI anti depressants?

a lesser known side effect of some of those, and i've only heard this anecdotally is that for some people it can feel like a very low threshold dose of mushrooms or LSD, which might explain his sort of Joe Rogan like breakthrough during such a tumultuous and rough patch in his life, or maybe he got really high one day thinking about all this stuff

adam lanza was also a member of a forum for a role playing game based on the columbine high school shooting where he ranted about "hunter gatherers" being on antidepressants and such (similar to anarchist phone call rant)

before he went on his killing rampage though, he went back and deleted all his posts
