moms encouraging violence
tommyBack in March, a Tampa woman boarded her child’s school bus and encouraged her to fight another student. She was convicted of trespassing and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Apparently, Karen Barber doesn’t read the newspapers or watch the news. Karen is a St. Pete mom, and she too got on a school bus to resolve a conflict with violence.
Her son (let’s call him Punk) picked up another boy’s (we’ll call him Joe) folder. Punk decided to keep Joe’s folder, so Joe punched Punk, and got his folder back. Even-Steven.
But Punk’s ma failed to ascertain that the situation had resolved itself, so she decided to head over to Joe’s house and threaten to shoot up the house. Joe’s mom rolled her eyes and went about her business. Of course, this didn’t sit well with Punk’s ma. The next day, she followed the kids’ school bus, and encouraged the driver to pull over. Punk’s ma boarded the bus with another of her children, a daughter. Before they left the bus, both the mom and the daughter gave Joe a couple of slaps on the face.
Where on earth are these people learning their parenting skills?

Like… did the the other mom just see the first mom on T.V. or something? How can so many idiots all come from the same place?
Also, time to thank Bill Nelsons stupid little face for inciting a little violence against Iran. Careful though, he might speak to you and turn you into huckleberry finn.

As a mom I have wanted to do similar things but have always refrained and have gone to the parents to resolve issues that have seemed to go on to long. Unfortunately, I have run into parents like these doing that and caused my child more backlash. Parents have to start teaching children respect to others and how to handle confrontations without using violence!

A generation raised in violence has left a bitter legacy. This family was about a block from where last weeks home invasion killed a mom.The disorder spreads outward from the 7th Street drug hole.
The city continues to ignore and neglect the escalating violence in South St. Pete.
Please take a look at the city council election. If one leader emerges we can see a dramatic improvement. Eight council members can ignore this violence when the newspaper and other media also ignore it.
