it's astonishing that YOU an acknowledged GoP supporter are lauding the police. i happen to agree with you that they've done the right thing, but let's review the facts. nothing illegal has been done and a government agency is interfering with how an adult, a private citizen is raising his child. can you say nanny state? this is the sort of thing your party vociferously rails against usually, so why the sudden change of heart?

There is no change of heart. Thuggery and gangsta behavior must not influence innocent babies. The state also had every right to take away the kids of the Nazi dad.

since there is nothing illegal here, your comfort level and flexibility with the nanny state is based on your own sense of morality.  i'd like to take away kids from homes which have a gun culture.

i think libertarianism works very well in a world made up of my clones. since that is not a possibility, i find myself comfortable somewhere slightly left of center, say where clinton sits.

i don't know the specific incident CD is citing, but for your reading pleasure:
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/29/us/children-and-guns-the-hidden-toll.html?_r=0

in such instances the state doesn't have to take the kid way. the guns take them away before the state can.

-> Not sure if anyone was arrested, going by police statement unlikely.

"In its initial statement about the incident, the state police also said the boy "accidentally shot his 2-year-old sister"

-> They have, indeed

"After the funeral service, two men advanced across North Main Street toward a single television crew present, from the German network RTL, and punched the cameraman, bloodying his face and knocking him down

Two other men told a newspaper reporter, “If you had any sense, you’d get out of here. You’re next, buddy.”"

dumb? dumb! not neglectful and criminal parenting in the case of the parents of the kid who shot his sibling? i agree with what the cops did, but there is a thread of just under the surface racism in the omaha case. but make no mistake about it. they will never take away a white kid under similar circumstances, that's for sure.

Remember that Nebraska 2-year-old cursing like a sailor in a viral video? A juvenile court judge in Omaha now says the toddler can stay with his mother, but can’t go back home. How’s that work, you ask? Both will be placed with the same foster family, since both are juveniles. Their original home was deemed too dangerous for both of them, because of a history of gang involvement. Another kid at the home was wounded in gunfire, a county prosecutor said, and the boy’s 38-year-old grandmother has done jail time on gun charges.
