Don't Ask A Question Unless You Know The Answer

Alleged att'y. Obama:

"Are we a nation that accepts the cruelty of ripping children from their parents' arms? Or are we a nation that values families, and works to keep them together?"

Reality:

8-year-old Nadia Harriman and 14-year-old Nicholas Harriman were dead when police arrived on the scene.

11-year-old Alexander Harriman and the mother of the children, 44-year-old Jeaninne LePage, were still alive, and rushed to Cooper University Hospital in Camden where they remain in critical condition.

Police say they believe LePage shot her children and then turned the gun on herself, using a pillow to muffle the sound of the shots.

Police found a revolver, believed to be the weapon used in the incident, in very close proximity to the mother.

[...]

Currier says LePage was an unemployed nurse who was having financial difficulties.

She was living in the home on Holly Park Drive with her children, her brother, his wife and their kids.

While authorities have not officially called this an attempted murder-suicide, Currier says LePage had confided in her a few months ago that if things got really bad, this is how she would end it.

Scab of a nation, driven insane.We sign off w/o a note of hope, however:
