appropriately-inappropriate: 11 year old boy murders 8 year old girl during an argument about a puppy. He shot her with his father’s shotgun. This bothers me, only because a little girl isn’t a woman, these are children. He didn’t hurt her just because she’s a woman. He’s a broken soul who’s parents didn’t teach him right from wrong and didn’t lock their gun up. This wouldn’t have happened if he had a proper father

Really? Was it his father who pulled the trigger?

True, he’s a child. However, by age 11 you certainly have the cognitive development to understand that pointing a gun at someone and pulling the trigger will kill them.

This is a male murdering a female in an argument. If anything, rather than call him a “broken soul who just needed a strong male figure”, let’s call this what it is:

An example of how prevalent and pervasive violence against females–women and girls alike–is in our society, and how early that violence can start.

This is a symptom of a much deeper problem, and calling him a “broken little soul” disregards the fact that he killed a younger girl because he was angry at her.
