    Logic says chamber two rounds and fire up the incinerator.

    But California will probably say a few months of parenting classes will do.

    I wouldn't be surprised if the ACLU isn't running to the 9th right now to ask for a writ on the grounds of excessive bail.

    No ****, Sherlock. Y'know, I'd love to have seen the look on these idiots faces when cops asked these two dolts that.

    It IS California, but I think in this case these Parents of the Year [/sarcasm] are going to be doing a long time in the Grey Bar Motel. And oh, how their cellmates will love them.

    This shouldn't be a partisan issue and honestly shame on anyone who tries to make it so. This is a terrible incident where children were neglected and abused and that's where the support should be. Not how you can get in as many jabs possible at an R or D.

    I wonder if some of these children are feral, having never been exposed to the outside world or learned to talk.

    There was a 1991 movie made about something similar to this, The People Under the Stairs.

    I agree with your first sentence but the other two statement are hyperbolic and likely overactive exaggerations possibly bordering on being built upon the foundation of homogenized bovine excrement with a frosting made of partisan wanking.

    These so called parents are from what we know lower than bacteria and deserve serious punishment but unfortunately there is no state or federal law that affords the death penalty for what they did.

    Hopefully their fine fellow felons will apply the justice that the law is failing to dispense.

    Your words are truly correct but sadly there are gebonees on both sides that have made a FUBAR'd alert in Hawaii into a partisan accusation, along with fires in Cali, Artic freeze in the Northeast, and sun spots.

    What would have been justice served is if after the police removed the children the parents were chained and padlocked like the children were and basolinecwas poured on the parent and they were handed a box of matches and told to play match sticks. Those two so called "parents" are not humans they are Fecal matter eating bacteria who have no rights except the right to die.

    They were Christians, seemingly homeschooled the children with a lot of the Bible and not very much else and had their day school where their home is as I assume under a religious school exemption most states have allowing them to be off the radar.

    I guarantee you that they had close calls before that. Anyone who's doing something this monstrous is going to slip up eventually. People like Ted Bundy, Jeffery Dahmer, or John Wayne Gacy all got away with their crimes for a long time because the police just didn't do their jobs.

    But this is also the point in the life cycle of a monster where there's no coming back for them. They're going to spend the rest of their lives in prison, and we may or may not ever find out what made them tick like this.

    People are going to try to come up with explanations for this that fit it into some narrative to comfort themselves, but in reality it was the random predation of simple evil. There is no higher reason for this.

    The ultimate goal of the Betsy DeVos plan for American education is a "home school" operated by people like this couple.[​IMG]

    Yes of course, which is why California authorities are talking about 12 million dollars bail for EACH and the scuttlebutt is about life in prison. You're just trolling because you have a hatred of California, but the fact is, this family CAME FROM TEXAS.

    All the pro homeschoolers I’ve met were nothing short of granola leftists. Don’t know what rock you’ve been living under.

    Sign of the times, that classic sense of community is going extinct.

    it started when they lived in Texas, they moved to California, though the people are bad people, I doubt the states they lived played a roll

    from the grandmother

    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/grandp...bout-13-siblings-starved-tortured-by-parents/

    "
    Betty Turpin said her son told her he had so many kids because God wanted him to. She said her son shared her Pentecostal Christian faith but he wasn't affiliated with a church in California.

    "I feel they were model Christians," she said. "It's hard to believe all of this. Over the years, the Lord knows what happened."

    That's just silly to say California will let these people off with parenting classes. Such a statement illustrates that prejudices render you incapable of thinking rationally.

    The parents are held on multi-million dollar bails, which they cannot possibly meet. They are going to be tried for crimes that will probably put them in jail for life.

    Get over your hatred of California; think about kids all over the country who are abused. These people are from the South origninally, from Texas more recently. They are not originally from California. This is a common thing about California. Probably half of 'Californians' are from all over the country. So attacking California or Californians is ludicrous. You are essentially attacking the whole country.

    All you know is the version told to you by somebody in the media.

    Guilty until innocent where you live it seems.

    People who met the kids claim they were happy and well adjusted.

    I have no dog in that hunt and if this ends up true, torture, etc, naturally the parents need Democrat type loving and therapy. sort of like how it works for illegal aliens.

    The police and medical authorities have told us the kids were imprisoned, were chained to beds, are mentally and physically not at the level they should be for their ages, and were starving. The hospital that is taking care of them has reported their deplorable and dangerous physical and mental health.

    According to the hospital they are 'severely malnurished' and severely under weight.

    The police have reported the conditions of the house. The media has NOTHING to do with this.

    These people are AMERICANS; illegal aliens have nothing to do with this topic.
