An example of how a mother who can't contain her grief must ruin others' lives

You have blown this so far out of proportion that it's impossible to take this seriously

How have I blown this out of proportion? It was blown out of proportion before I got wind of it. I call 'em like I see 'em.

Continue to embarrass yourself by feigning ignorance, or refer to the definition I provided in post #73 in order to find where you stumbled. The words she used were violent, and disrespectful, and if I am correct that they are fighting words then they are also not protected speech. She should be more cautious in the future.

"I almost slapped him in the face"

What was that?


"I almost slapped him in the face"

Almost.

She did nothing violent.

She restrained herself.

That is a statement that is not a threat.

Because you're taking a grieving mother seriously. Grieving people often say all kinds of things that don't make sense.

And she did say something violent. She did nothing violent. She said something violent. Does that make sense now that I put the two right next to one another and repeated myself? It's very analytical.

Absolutely, grievances can be irrational and so are people. That doesn't explain why this was published in Seven Days. It's an open and shut case. She can grieve with her family and friends. It was published in Seven Days to cause a spectacle for the rest of us.

So, now the words are violent?

Wow.

Just.... Wow.

All this prattle about here admitting to almost slapping someone delivering heart-rending news to a mother.

I am done here.

If you aren't serious you are trolling...

If you are serious I pity you.

Wait a minute.

Drug dealers are non-violent offenders.

Obama just released what 600 of them back onto the streets.

They can't be held responsible for anything they cause or do.

They are held responsible for what they do, they just aren't responsible for what other people do.

Used car salesmen are scumbags who sell deathtraps to geniuses and morons alike- should we incarcerate one because they sold Jill a car and Jill was too stupid to put her phone down on the freeway ?
 
A grieving mother wants to ruin a drug dealers life. Okay.
 
A grieving mother can find solace in private. Once she makes it public, it's no longer private. Now that we can read it, it's our business too. Should anyone happen to come across this pity party, they should immediately understand that it is an attempt to garner favor. I don't appreciate the fact that the mother in question is using the death of her sons to play off of the insecurities of others. Yes, we know heroin is bad and we wouldn't want a loved one to be on heroin, but that doesn't mean she should ask us to wallow in her grief.
